A very interesting tale of escaping Katrina (and what the city was like the weekend before she hit).

When playing something recorded on the TiVo:

Select-Play-Select-3-0-Select

You should here three "thumbs up" sounds.

Ages and ages ago, I wrote some code under the auspices of our tiny little website. And I sorta maintain it, it's in a plainly visible place, accessible by many, and basically, it because my responsibility because a) it made my life easier and b) no one else was going to do it.

Now the developers have gotten all in a tizzy and want to appropriate my code. Which is fine (well, except for the fact that they have a history of ignoring our requests for tools and then get pissy when we develop them ourselves. But that's something else, )but I'm sorta miffed they expect me to do all the work loading it into their code tracking system. Um, dudes? You want it, you come get it. You don't want me mucking about in your playground. I know NOTHING about it.

OK, now managers were in here discussing what the person moving in here will need. Boy, don't I feel warm and fuzzy.

Now I need a nap.

Yeah, last time I checked, that hack didn't work on all TiVos -- mine and Perkins, for sure. It'd be a shame if that were the only reason to switch over.

Today=hectic.

Today=not over.

Your values of today also = mine. BUT

tonight=Agassi v. Blake live and in person

so I will not complain.

Today is STUPID.

But we get to tell the developers to go take a hike.

So that's better.

tonight=manic erranding and teaching two classes

Blah. The workflow I needed for the demo in a couple hours? Magically DELETED. Back to the GUI.

The kid LF who drove home the winning run against the A's last night?

Positive for 'roids.

Sigh. He was overachieving by a fair bit in the majors.

I should point out that despite losing their last game, the Royals are still only 32 games out of the wildcard spot.
