Reduced Now to a Mere Consumer

Jeff M., you stinker, you brought me 24 - Season Two. You knew what it would do to us. You dropped it off just five days after we finished Season One. I thought you were my friend, but you're a... a... 24 PUSHER!!!

You and Nick. Geez. Anyway, we finished episode twenty-four tonight. So now you know why I never call or write. I blame you, and I thank you.

Unfortunate Name: Lonnie Flower

I Have Good Intentions. Really.

All this web development at work has motivated me to implement long overdue changes to my Media Data Warehouse and Address Book databases:

• Pending recordings appear in a checklist on the main page; checking the box clears them from the active list.
• Birthdays and anniversaries two weeks before today and two weeks after appear on the main page. It was harder than you might think.

So be comforted: I may still not send a card on time--or ever--but at least I'm thinking about you around the time of your special day. Wish yourself congratulations right now, on my behalf, just in case.

Accidental Programmer

If you've been waiting for a reply to an email, my latest excuse is Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, Microsoft SQL Server administration for the company web site, and awholelotta fixin' the business-to-business ordering application we had developed by a third-party.

And today I received the most significant praise of my career.

It's been a good coupla months.
