Blog Rolling

Thanks to my friend elfslut for this one. This is a great service that keeps your links all neat and orderly as you change templates from time to time. It uses anything from Java to the most sophisticated code available depending on your level of expertise.

As I find new blogs I like and as friends give me their blog address' (not mutually exclusive of course) I will be adding them to the menu bar at the right.

Honestly though its tough finding good blogs. They seem to come in three flavors. The first is of course foreign language ones, there seems to be an extraordinary amount of ones written in Spanish. I have found a few French ones and am trying to read those to stay boned up on my language skills.

Next are the teeny bopper ones. These are by far the most prevalent. Overwhelmingly so in fact. Go ahead to that link I have on the menu bar at the right and hit random blog... you will find oodles of these. Mostly written by angsty teen girls and they are all about boyfriends and random goings on in their lives. (YES I know a significant portion of my blog is about me and MY boring life so I'm not being hypocritical here. But this type of blog has no other feature than the intricate details of teen age life).

FINALLY I am finding one in 25 to one in 50 have something to say. Of those a surprisingly large number are Christian proselytizing and/or Right Wing. So we will leave those out as well.

So as a service to you the readers I will be marking those that actually have something intelligent to say and putting them in the menu. In my HUMBLE opinion of course.

Gosh that was longwinded.. eh?

(Just did the spell check for this one. How much sence does this make? Blogger Pro spell check does not recognise the word "blog". Now that is stoopid.)

I think that I shall never see
a billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.

Ok so what happened to daily postings? 1) I don't have something to say every day? (not likely if you know me). 2) I'm already bored with this blogging thing (not likely as my attention span is a bit better than that) NO it is 3) NO bloody time!!. More later today. Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia, (of the Grateful Dead)

Saturday Night and Sunday Saturday Night Dinner and Martini's Our dinner at Bamboo Asian Fusion was very good. This place was a bog standard "Hibachi cooking table" restaurant, as well as the best of the fine dining at the Paradisus. The restaurant lived up to its name on both counts, very good food, but not superlative performance. The only complaint I had was that the food was much saltier than normal. I started the night with a Coconut Martini, which was actually quite good as a starter drink. I had another at the dinner, but the sweetness was a bit much so I switched to regular dry Vodka Martini's. This was a mistake because five or so later.. well I was hungover the next day. In the mean time we had a really fun time after dinner hanging out with lots of Liza's friends. You will even find a picture of one of the women we were hanging with smoking a cigar on the Photo Bucket site . Another lovely night in Paradise. Sunday - ATV ride and the Closing dinne...

Computer Tech Spent a good five hours today working with the new ED computers. The boss had finalized arrangements Friday for a new place for the new company so we are out of the old building finally. I really hated going in to the old building every day! Anyway the owner's sister (remember this is a NEW owner - not the much berated old owner of the old business) is a CIS person for a big corporation. They just upgraded their old computers so she was able to gift us with two Dell computers. One is sweet: 128 Mg Ram, decent size HD for business, PII chip and Windows 98se. The other was problematic however: it had 2000 professional in it so I had to reformat the HD with Windows 98se (so the two computers could network if needed). It only has 64 mg of Ram and it also has a PII. The problem was that the video card - not on the motherboard thank god - would not work in 32bit color with W98. Well I had an ATI Rage laying around that I bought for A's computer but could no...
