Wednesday
Another day at work. A little more work with my form. Since I’ve been rambling about this one for about a week, I guess that I should ‘splain what it is: It’s a dynamic invoice/receipt form. We’ve been having to do manual receipts for the past… since we started, basically. This also meant that we had to write up two copies as, until recently, our copier has been less-than-great. When I’m finished with it, this form will generate invoices/receipts (as the customer is shopping), track the type of sale, who sold it, all of the pertinent date information and other minor bells and whistles. Aside from dealing with trying to remember the proper CF syntax, this has been a fun learning experience.

After work, I met and helped her choose a webcam. The adventure took a little longer than planned because of a minor misunderstanding of where we were supposed to meet. We got beyond that and on to the shopping. When I talked with her later, she said that she likes the camera. Mission: Accomplished.

Went to visit after that. She was in an accident this afternoon – she’s fine, but her car has moved beyond this mortal coil. She needed some company so Jess, Dan, Scott and I hung out with her. As posted in her journal this evening:

…if anybody sees any Z’s for sale, tell me. please. i’m looking for like maybe a 280Z, 75-78 or a 280ZX (nonturbo) 80-83, i guess.

Stray Toasters

  • Do you enjoy geocaching? You’d better get your fix while and where you can. According to this post, it seems as though some cities and counties are (considering) banning it.
  • From came a link to “Socipranos”. Interesting.
  • Sammy Sosa. Corked bat. There’s going to be some serious image-handling in the offing.
  • I spent a little time investigating free magazine subscriptions today. If you look in the right places, you can get 1- and 2-year subscriptions without paying anything, not even the “processing fee” or handling fees. Just go to Google (or your favorite search engine) and look for free subscription, or free magazine or complimentary subscription… or permutations thereof.
  • Palm is buying Handspring. I admit that I didn’t see this one coming, but it does seem to make an odd sort of sense.
  • Death: The High Cost of Living. The Movie. It looks like it might (finally) be getting off the ground. (For those of you who don’t understand this, don’t worry. You will. When the time is right.)

Now, however, is the time to roam the lands far from The Waking World.

Namaste.
