Yeah, it's been a week.

No, I have nothing to blog about. I've been working so much this last few weeks I've barely had any time for anything recreational. I've just about forgotten what my family looks like, so we went and had pictures taken. :P

So what's been going on? Hmm, there's new halloween toons on Homestar Runner. I set up two new servers at Webformix. Also, we're signing up webformix air (megabit wireless internet access) customers over 2 or 3 miles away from the nearest hotspots. We're fixing up a load of new features at Bend.com. Dane won't talk to me when I ask him about paying him moneys to whip up indefinite loads of XHTML/CSS for me in various possible projects. I guess maybe the bloggers will be getting together this Wednesday? If my guess is right, this would be 6pm at Cascade Lakes.

I started and then didn't finish making that cokacola sledgehammer game. I've got Dane on a bowling alley with a mallet, and cokes roll towards him, and you can move him left and right, but he's not smashing the cokes yet and I haven't whipped up the Evil Bowling Balls and.. I can never finish projects.

I'm trying to make a C version of my saturate Perl script that gives realtime bandwidth availability readings. Still, no time.

I've re-purchased Goldeneye for N64 for $10. The game is now 7 or 8 years old, and it still rules. re-beat the game in Secret Agent mode and up to bunker 1 in 00 Agent. re-learning my head-shot skizzles.

I've installed trillian on most of my puters (2 home doodads + 2 workstations) so I can bother and be bothered by various sundry people instead of getting work done *shrug*

Life still sucks. Sucky, sucky sucks. I think I have all the bills paid this month, now 828 more to go.

You guys are meeting on Wednesday? When was this discussed? Why did I not know? STOP THE INSANITY!!!! (sorry, work is driving me nuts today)

Aw come on, Jesse, ya gotta look at the bright side! (But don't stare directly into the sun, or you'll go blind and that'd REALLY suck.)

I have a passing acquaintance (heh) with workaholism, and know how easy it is to obsess over what's not done, etc. But ya gotta put less pressure on yourself. Think about what ya HAVE got done, not what ya haven't.

So don't do as I do, do as I say, dammit! Now off to get some work done (whoops;-)

Yeah, I know you, you're trying to make me slow down so's you can sneak by me in dem performance reviews. Ah ha! But I've sent a MEMO and now everyone has to change the cover letters they use for the TPS reports and now we'll see if you get by meh ;)

I know nothing of a blogger get-together this Wednesday.

As a matter of fact, I'm meeting with Matt at 6pm at the Bend Brewing Co. instead, to see if we can whip up a little casual get-together of local photographers.

If any of the bloggers are interested (you don't have to be a photographer to attend the meeting), by all means, come on and drop by and voice your suggestions. :-)

Well I thought everyone was takling about giong for the first Wednesday of the month or some such. But, I also haven't seen any traffic on the mailing list, so probably not *shrug*

I'm sorry life sucks. I'm sorry you're busy.

But I'm glad you posted!!

DeAnn is a pip :) She will have nice things to say no matter what mean and evil things I say about tv shows that are near to her heart. Bless you!
