  • 14:51 No, no – you’re fine. I’m sure they didn’t mean YOU when they put up that NO PARKING sign. I mean, NOBODY ELSE can park there, but… #
  • 15:21 Oh shit, you guys! I just spilled a can of soda on my desk!!! Oh … wait, all cleaned up now. #learn #bp #
  • 17:45 I love how I already spent $800+ on plane tickets, and now it costs me another $15 to get two seats next to each other. Thanks, United! #
  • 17:49 "Bag fees are non-refundable" – screw you, EVERYTHING is non-refundable with these stupid airlines! Next time, I’m growing wings… #
  • 17:50 "Prices go up at the airport, so pay for your bags now and save a
    few!" – everything I read on this website now just sounds cocky… #
  • 17:51 Oh, what’s that? You wanted an AIR-CONDITIONED CABIN for your 6-hour, cross-country flight?! There’s a fee for that… #
  • 17:53 "Your credit card is about to be charged … again. And there’s NOTHING you can do about it, either!!!" #airtravel #sucks #
  • 17:54 Seriously?! I just paid them HOW MUCH, and these fuckers have the nerve to serve ADS on the page with my boarding passes?!?!?! #wtf #
  • 18:02 This is a good start – bitter about flying already and we don’t even go to the airport until tomorrow! Gonna be a tweet-filled day, I think. #
  • 18:16 @bensrpgpile Nah – flying to Seattle this weekend to visit friends. It’s just sad to see how rapidly downhill flying has gone! #
  • 23:26 Ooh – WordPress 3.0 Thelonious looks pretty sweet. Of course, I know better than to try a "quick upgrade" before going on vacation! #
  • 23:27 Here’s the link to the preview video – looking forward to playing around with it when I get back. (tinyurl.com/2vv4fzf) #wordpress3 #
  • 23:28 I think the multi-site integration interests me the most, but not sure for scalability yet if I want to merge 6 installs into 1. #wordpress3 #
  • 23:29 Note: Concern is mostly due to the hosting provider I use, not a lack of confidence in WordPress. I’d just hate to have to migrate one… #
  • 23:30 …away for bandwidth/usage needs and find issues because they all share the same code base. Will research options, though! #wordpress3 #

Way to go, Microsoft…

Option #1: Click Close Message and end up having to reboot the whole damn machine when Windows fails to relaunch Explorer and thus eliminates my ability to open new programs.
Option #2: Move this little dialog box out of sight and just keep on working as normal.

Now which one do you think I picked???

    fast at Dennys – all of the menus on the table are slimy, and the old dude behind us sounds like he’s about to die. Good eats! #

Too many tweets

I’m thinking about shutting off LoudTwitter and eliminating the nightly tweet reposts that it makes to LiveJournal.

I originally set it up back when I first started using Twitter because I was hardly blogging at all and I felt bad that I was spending all of my time using Twitter instead, but now I’m trying to make more of an effort blogging again and it just seems a little tedious climbing over all of the tweet posts to look back at the actual blog posts.

I mean, some of the tweet reposts can be amusing, but I almost wish I could isolate them off to their own category so that I didn’t have to see them in the main blog view if I didn’t want to. Can LiveJournal do anything like that???

  • 01:30 To the Cricket Taking Up Residence Just Outside Our Patio Door: Go forth and explore! The world is not limited to your view of our kitchen! #
  • 01:30 Also, please shut up – I’m trying to do non-cricket-related things and all of the incessant chirping is really distracting… #
  • 02:00 LOL – Saw an ad for "Friend BP on YouTube" and it has exactly 1 out of 5 stars. Just stop, guys … everything you do is wrong. #
  • 14:31 Woke up and found the AC on the fritz again … temp was up to 77 degrees (vs. 70), so at least I caught it early. Gonna be a fun day… #
  • 16:35 AC still isn’t working because I’M NOT AN AC REPAI
    R GUY and none of the numbers for our landlord are working. Getting kinda pissed here… #
  • 16:48 The benefit of renting from a larger company – at least they TELL PEOPLE when their contact numbers change! Stupid small business… #

also, spider…

…with either a really bad growth she was dealing with, or more likely an eggsac that she was protecting. I realized during the hour and a half I spent out in the garage with the AC guy that we’ve got a ton of these things out there. Not sure if I should feel bad about never cleaning up out there or if their presence is inevitable, but along one corner I swear I couldn’t at least a dozen within a couple of feet of each other.

Go figure – this one was off all by herself. You don’t fuck with a pregnant spider…

Lizard Jones and the Temple of the Lost Air Handler

I noticed this little guy while I was waiting for the AC dude to do his thing this evening and it just seemed like the perfect photo op to me, like another less than successful treasure hunter that Indiana Jones would pass by on his way through the temple.

Who knows how long ago this thing actually died, but skeletons typically mean not too recently…
