Don't feel the blues my friend. Stick to the basics, life is good, friends are fun, and a job is only a job don't let it get to you. |

10 years ago, I controlled millions of lines of code, everything on the Tandem, including its operations and had access to all of Mgm's online systems. Now, I'm adding a column to a report, and it pays almost just as well. Go Figure? A lot can change in a few years. I'm actually doing very well compared to the programmers at Valley Bank and Mgm Grand. Some became store clerks. Some struggled to retire. Their are programmers in Vegas that are still working, but can't change jobs. They're stuck. I guess what really gets me down though is This contract was supposed last longer. I already had the total earnings calculated before I moved. But my contract turned out to be a mess. It got sold, then delayed for a month. And my business in Vegas started to really take off right after I accepted this contract. The Yellow Book ad made it work. But I knew if I didn't take this contract, my programming career would be over. So I'm not sure what I've accomplished here. I must be crazy! I don't want to go back to Vegas. I'd like to stay here. But I can't unless I figure out some kind of solution. I still have a house and my Nevada corporation is good, even here. I doubt having a Segway dealership would work out Unless I could get a contract with the Police, or maybe FORT KNOX...haha. Anyway, I'll probably be done at the bank before November. We have the apartment leased until February, so there's going to be a lot of time to think about our next move in life. However, financing is so much easier to get when you have an active income. So, the pressure is on. |

These things never did sell like people thought they would, we have a couple at work. They are fun to drive i've been on it a few times |

We saw them doing a tour in San Fransisco, and we thought they we so cool. I've always thought it would be fun to do something like that. I thought the Florida Keys, or Louisville might be a good place for it. In Vegas, at a St Patricks Day parades, the Air Force had a platoon of them!!! |

I just noticed that carriage returns i type in the edit box of a new blog message.
Do not translate to th message once it's posted on the website.
you probably already know this and don't care, or have a reason to not have them come through. |

Thats a Micosoft IE thing. Firefox, Safari, and Netscape all use it now. You have to enter SHIFT ENTER for a carriage return. This interface is a javascript call that causes a text box to handle as if it were like a word document. I stole the code. There's a lot of odd things about it too. Sometimes, if the focus gets confused, entering a space in the text box causes it to toggle from text to display mode. Oddly enough, MySpace and some other sites use the exact same code. I think its annoying to have to enter SHIFT ENTER for a carraige return! I have to do that in some Word documents too. hmmm. Its kind of like having to enter ALT ENTER in an Excel's spreadsheet text box to get your heading in to be two lines. And it seems like, at work, if I enter SHIFT ENTER in outlook, it will just send my email before I'm done..youch. |

were they rubber gloves? weird that you can't take a picture of a tank. Iv'e been on that base in the past to golf and have never as much seen any military guys. |

Yea, they were flexible, rubber gloves. Thats what I don't get. And according to Maps.Google.Com, there's a golf course right next to that entrance. Maybe they thought my camera's flash was some kind of evil death ray haha. I'd bet their thinking was base on an anti-terrorist activity strategy. Maybe they were afraid of their identities being revealed. |

07/29/2007 10:13:26 jim The Zoo, and a baseball game. | Sun |||||||||||||||||||
Rod and Jessica swung by after they got out of church this morning. The zoo was nice, but it was a lot of walking. Thats why you don't see my picture in here. I think I melted somewhere along the way. At $11 a ticket, its one of the best deals in Louisville. We left the zoo, drove around for an hour, then went to a Bats baseball game. |
