70 degrees and (kinda) sunny yesterday. 35 degrees and snowing today.
What is the deal?
Who are these people?
Reminds me of those apocalyptic movies where they always show it snowing in the desert and 80 degrees at the north pole. Or maybe there’s some sort of madman bent on world domination that has unleashed a crazy weather machine capable of wreaking havoc on a global scale.
Or maybe I’m just very, very tired and need some sleep.
Thought this was pretty funny. At the time of this post, the english al-jazerra site has been hacked. For some reason, I don’t think the US gov’t will be looking into this any time soon.
In case it’s already been fixed, you can see a screen shot of what it looked like here.
Been relatively quiet the last couple of days. Just work, work, and more work. I’ve been tweaking the site here and there, and I’ve set Monica up to be able to post entries here as well so look for that anytime now.
I know all the latest entries have mentioned the war in Iraq, but it’s pretty important, you know? I listen to the news every day, and according to them, we are losing this war. Are they nuts? We are so far ahead of the game, especially compared to the first Gulf conflict. The only people who ever said this was going to be quick was the media, and now they’re poo-pooing the fact that it may take longer than they first predicted. Meanwhile, Bush & Co. haven’t changed their tune about what a long, tough fight it’s going to be (relatively speaking, it certainly won’t be as long as Vietnam).
POWs and casualities today over in Iraq. The reality of this whole thing has really started to set in. I’m all for this war and what we’re trying to do, but it really sucks to hear the bad news, inevitable as it may be. We really need to find our people, and stop those bastards from doing anymore to them. Finish the job, and come home safe, guys.
Watched the Oscars tonight, and it was pretty well done. There were a few mentions of “peace” and “these crazy time”, and the only real idiot of the bunch was Michael Moore. Man, this guy doesn’t deserve to breath the same air as honest Americans. He’s a disgrace. I will never watch anything associated with him. Ever.
Seems a shame to be focusing on basketball with everything else that’s going, but I thought you’d like to know that my NCAA brackets are shot to hell. Thanks for listening.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger.
So the new design is up. I tried my darndest to not use any tables on the site (there were a ton before) and only use cascading style sheets. I couldn’t get rid of them entirely as I needed to use a couple for alignment of wrappable text. I think there are only three tables on the whole site (not too bad, eh?); everything else is done with style sheets. There is still more work to do as I plan on integrating movable type by this weekend.
March Madness is upon us! I’m participating in a couple of pools this year as well as running one in my office. I have yet to win one, but I have a feeling this year. Really, I do.
Want to know how an Iraqi feels about the impending war? Listen to this, little chirping bird.
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve put up the new design. Unfortunately, I haven’t finished converting every page yet so you’ll notice some items missing from the navigation and the poll doesn’t currently function. I should be able to finish everything this evening so check back tonight or tomorrow for the completed redesign.
So it seems as if it’s about to “go down” in Iraq. I knew it was coming, but it just seemed eerie to hear the President actually say it last night. We are both totally behind our President and our troops on this issue…it must be done. God be with them.
On a lighter note, we’re going to Ozzfest! I was the tenth caller on WJFK this morning so I won free tickets. I don’t think there are many bands that are going to be there to whom we listen on a regular basis, but, what the heck, it’s Ozzy. And if we don’t feel like going, we’ll just sell them. Easy money.
Went down to Chesapeake at the last minute this past weekend to do some wedding stuff. We bought our rings and some stuff for the reception. Got to see my mom, our friend Bucky, but not my dad. Sorry, dad! We’ll see you next time we come at the end of April.
I can’t believe the wedding is only four months away. It’s crazy! It seems like just yesterday I thought girls had cooties. Well, some girls still do.
I know I mentioned that we got the invitations in, and they look very nice so you’ll be seeing those in the mail eventually. Those that have seen them think they look ‘classy’. I like classy.
I’ve almost completed the redesign, and I hope to get that up this week. I’m liking how it’s looking, and I hope you do too. Actually, I don’t really care if you like it or not. 
Oh, and a Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you!
Updated the wedding page with some more info about directions (not very complete at the moment), maps, our registries, and honeymoon. I’ve decided I’m not happy with how the site is looking currently so I’m probably going to be redesigning it when I get some free time.
Yeah, I know, I’m a big slacker for not posting much lately. What’s my excuse? We’ve been very busy. And I’m lazy.
So no snow the last two weeks and it’s been wonderful. Who knew no snow could be so much fun? There’s still a few piles of it on the ground, but things are starting to get back to normal. Don’t tell that to our wounded bush out front.
So I mentioned in a previous post about making VCDs and SVCDs. Well, as it turns out, I got a great deal on a DVD burner, so now I’ll be making our very own DVDs. Now if I could just perfect my machine to stop time so I could actually do all of the things I would like to do.
I’m cranking out some long over due updates for our wedding section. It will be a work in progress this week so bear with me until I get it done.
Oh, and don’t forget to vote in our new poll.
