Halloween Day 2002

Thursday, October 31st, 2002 · Comments Off on Halloween Day 2002

Happy Halloween 2002! Movable Type rules. Now that my installation and database connection problems are behind me (at least for the moment), I can actually begin to start using it. I have a Test Blog up and running and all seems to be working beautifully. Next up: Importing all Blogger posts to Movable Type. Woohoo! […]

Jess Gets Jen

Tuesday, October 29th, 2002 · Comments Off on Jess Gets Jen

On Saturday while watching the first several episodes of the first season of Buffy, Jen took a quick break to check her email. Among her new messages was one from our friend Jessie that looked like this: ————— Can anyone tell me the name of this song and the artist it’s bothering me… http://www3.quantumlynx.com/barontech/list/sayit.swf ————— […]

Shooting at University of Arizona

Monday, October 28th, 2002 · Comments Off on Shooting at University of Arizona

There was a shooting today on Peter’s school’s campus (U. of A.). I’ve left messages for him on his cell and home phones but have not yet heard back. I’m certain he’s fine, though, since he’s not a nursing student. Still, it’s such a scary thing to think how close such a horrible act of […]

The Giants’ Heart-breaking Loss

Sunday, October 27th, 2002 · Comments Off on The Giants’ Heart-breaking Loss

The Giants lost a heart-breaking game yesterday when the monkey-lovin’ Angels from Anaheim came from behind to overcome a 5-nothing deficit. Tonight is Game 7 and the Giants will have to give the Angels a serious ass-whoopin’ to make up for yesterday. Dad is coming over again for dinner and to watch the game. I […]

Discovering Movable Type

Friday, October 25th, 2002 · Comments Off on Discovering Movable Type

I just stumbled across an alternative to Blogger called Movable Type, which, from what I can tell so far, seems to be a much more robust version of Blogger for more advanced users. From what I can tell, it would be installed on my own Web server and is integrated with MySQL. And it’s free. […]

Giants Win 16-4

Thursday, October 24th, 2002 · Comments Off on Giants Win 16-4

The Giants just kicked the Angels’ asses, 16-4! Woohoo! What a great birthday present to Dad, who watched the game with us tonight. Also, I just checked my work email and read a security advisory from earlier this afternoon about a bank robbery that happened at the Wells Fargo I frequent. Eerily enough, when I […]

Long, Slow Day

Thursday, October 24th, 2002 · Comments Off on Long, Slow Day

Today has been a long, slow, and tiring day. My eyes hurt, I’m beat, and ready to head home. Jen and I stayed up way too late last night (past midnight) after a visit from Shannon. It was fun seeing her, but I don’t plan on staying up that late again tonight. (Part of the […]

East Bay Outings on a Cold Day

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2002 · Comments Off on East Bay Outings on a Cold Day

It’s cold today. I’m at home after a really long (4-plus hours) doctor’s appointment for my worker’s comp case. They performed just about every test in the book on me. After it was all said and done, I dropped by Greenberg Qualitative Research to drop off my scrapbook and mini-Polaroid and to pick up my […]

Dad Meets Giants Legends

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2002 · Comments Off on Dad Meets Giants Legends

Dad just sent me this great email about his encounter this afternoon with four Giants legends who just happen to be his boyhood heroes: Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, and Orlando Cepeda. Go Dad! It’s surely a sign that the Giants are on their way to victory of the 2002 World Series.

Hit-and-Run Accident

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2002 · Comments Off on Hit-and-Run Accident

Following a fatal hit-and-run accident at Harrison and Main early this morning by some maniacal asshole still on the loose, Jen had the unfortunate stomach-churning experience of walking by the crime scene on her way to work and seeing the body of the victim, partially covered by a tarp and still in the driver’s seat.
