I have been evaluating different version control programs for my company for the last month or two. My current evaluation is that all of them are broken, although I hope to discover a good solution someday soon. Serena's Version Manager (PVCS) I have spent a lot of time with Version... (More)

There is a spot of wall on the landing of our basement stairs that has been getting soggier as the summer progresses. We've had lots of rain, and every time it rained hard enough, the spot would be damp. I finally called someone who advertised in the Pennysaver and he came this afternoon.... (More)

I signed up with Citibank/Mastercard my freshman year in college. I used to sign up for stuff on campus quite often, as they would give me various free things, t-shirts, radios, $100 gift certificates, etc. I also felt somewhat sorry for the vendors, as their income was $1 every time they got...

He did it very smoothly, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. I wanted to clap and cheer, but it was... (More)

Judy is still in jail, held over the weekend for a variety of delays and other "mistakes" such as: the guy who takes the bail isn't here today the guy who does the psychological evaluation doesn't work on Saturdays the guy who does the psychological evaluations decided not to work on... (More)

Who would have thought this would still be going on after a year? I just found out that the district attorney called up Judy's collaborative physician today to ask some questions. Apparently, the district attorney was waiting to be re-elected before continuing this. Or perhaps, he was just too... (More)

In His time, in His time, He makes all things beautful in His time. Lord, please show me every day, As You're teaching me Your way, That You do just what You say, in Your time. In Your time, in Your time, You make all things beautiful in Your time. Lord, my life to You I bring. May each song I... (More)
