Dog Puke in the bed, Pouring punch for the Elderly, xorg.conf for a Wacom tablet, Running Debian Testing, JavaScript book, NetBeans IDE

May 2 Saturday

I went to Penni's retirement home to volunteer pouring punch for the elderly. She really appreciated it. Penni cooked spaghetti for us. I watched a few JavaScripting video tutorials and crashed early.


May 1 Friday

I met with the Dialysis Error project power user. I have a new scripting project adjusting small balance account of the STAR system. I ate lunch with my boss at Max's. I swear I saw Ashby there. I covered the afternoon billing while the SysAdmin was using up some flextime. Penni crashed early. The dog crawled under the blankets and puked on the my side of the bed. I had the lights off when I went to bed and laid down in the puke. Awesome. I showered and Penni changed the sheets. and we crashed around 4am.

I sat up my xorg.conf for my Wacom tablet with this post:

April 30 Thursday

I sent chuck a VBA example of returning values from a function for while-do-Loop control.

Do While SomethingImportant(str) = False
If MsgBox("wanna give up?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
Exit Sub
End If
Loop


April 29 Wednesday

I finished scripting the standard note for the manager of the Financial Counseling department. I got the NetBeans IDE installed and I was able to step through a looping function. I customized colors of the IDE like my others. I ate lunch at Subway with the crew. The billing department asked me to run the SSI receive updates job. After work Penni and I went to target and ate dinner at chick filla. Later I worked on setting up my Debian system laptop and created a partition for xubuntu with a VirtualBox virtual machine for XP and PcAnyWhere.


April 28 Tuesday

I regeistered for Fall Online Classes at CPCC. I Did the paper billing and STAR balancing while my coworker was out. I walked a lap during lunch and covered the SysAdmin's desk during his meeting. My JavaScript book arrived. I installed of copy of Debian testing on my laptop I really like it.


April 27 Monday

I had a meeting on the employee satisfaction survey results. I got lunch at Niko and ate with the break room crew. I worked on the hand-keying form of the small claims database. Chuck emailed me a copy of the VBA stuff that he wrote. It looked good. He has made a lot of progress on 2 weeks. I went to the practice space there was no construction yet, the owner said they did not get to our room yet, nice. I wrote the owner of the BlenderNewbies.com site about going on a podcast to promote the site. He replied he probably will when he gets everything moved and setup at the official dot com site. Nice Guy.


April 26 Sunday

I went to the park with Logan, Penni and her Twitter friends. We talked about LiveCDs and loading Ubuntu on a Mac. Penni fixed veggie tacos. They were great. There was a note on the door of the practice space about construction on one of our room's walls. We labeled our ProTools rig cables and moved everything off the wall, Fun and productive! Later in bed I watched half of a blender tutorial and crashed around 1am.
