Stupid software vendor made me sick.


Ok well not really but I'm current offering a cold to anyone who wants it. No charge. Grrrrrrrr Woke up this morning feeling a little rough and now I feel like shit.
So where does the software vendor part of this come to play? I had an email this morning asking me how to test a fix that they have attempted to fix on numerous occasions. I guess this is because they have passed there testing on this a couple times and then I have found problems when I start testing. It sounds bad that they don't know how to test the product but this worked out well for me. Rather than having the fix sent out to us and then have it applied and installed on the server and my computer to test the supplier did the testing that I would have done and found another problem. Just saved us a couple days worth of work to go through all the crap to find the error.

Good old fruity Kelowna

No not that.... I'm talking about the kind you eat... Oh crap that doesn't sound any better. In the immortal words of Sienfeld "Not that any things wrong with that". Ok better be more specific. I'm sitting here with a plate of grapes straight from the vine and there is a bag of apple's in the fridge picked fresh from the tree. And I don't even have any fruit trees.

Singing in the rain

Just picked up one of those raining type of shower heads and put it in. The old one needed to be replaced anyhow. Sooooooo I went and rolled around in the dirt so I would need a shower to try it. It really is like its raining in there. I'm used to having high pressure fairly narrow sandblasting head in there but the new head is like 12 feet wide. Ok maybe its only about 5 - 6 inches.

Disturb my civilized evening at the country club


Yeah right..... Like I would be a member of a country club. I think they would kick me out for my sense of humor. Returned from a retirement party at the club though and had a message from Calgary saying it was F#$%#$g snowing. Well it was a little cool here, it was 14 degrees (sorry 15 degrees) at the airport and 18 degrees on my deck. It's almost cool enough to need pants instead of shorts.
there's reason one why I live in Kelowna and not is a place where it snows in September. I still have the same snow shovel I bought when I bought the house 6 years ago and its still going strong. There are many other reasons but I will add them with each example. Shouldn't be long till there's another news article about a murder or drive by shooting or gang stabbing in Calgary.
It all makes the gas price in Kelowna a little easier to swallow.
By the way George Wanted to have his picture posted again. One where is shows hes really not as much of a pussy as he looked in the thunder picture. Anyhow here he is checking out what I was working on last night. He's nosey isnt he. I think he was really trying to get his picture online for Molly to see since she moved away. I dont know what those two talked about when no one was home but I imagine it would be something like the cows in the farside cartoon but with cats.

All thats missing is the corn


Ha Ha.. Are you sick of all those stupid I need validation that your my friend email virus.... I mean emails? You do realize that they are really virus dont you. Its just a lazy or manual virus that just asks you to spam everyone you know because the creator is to lazy or stupid to know how to do it without you knowing. If this is you then this is for you.

And if your careful you can smell the sarcasm in this.

I love cold dense air

And so does the car. :) its great for rocketing from a standstill when there are dense drivers around thinking that they have the right to drive up the shoulder and not wait in line like the other hundred people that have been there for 10 minutes waiting. I have two words for you the first one starts with an 'f' and rhymes with truck and pick any other word that would indicate yourself.

George is Mad at Mom & Dad

I told him that they were going to Calgary, and he asked nicely if he could go with them to visit Molly. He promised to be quiet and sit in his cage the entire trip and not ask "Are we there yet" and said that he would bring his own food and everything but they said no to him.
Great now I have to put up with him moping around and giving me attitude for a couple days again. He just stopped giving me the finger (or claw) when I walk by for changing his food.

Payment for Services Rendered

Get your mind out of the gutter....
Got a 26er of single malt scotch given to me this afternoon. It was for fixing someone's computer and cleaning off some virus, trojans spyware and driver problems. Ok there was about 10 hours trying to find all the problems and clean them but some of that was waiting for installs and system scans. I probably would have just spend it screwing around on the computer anyway.

Old server is now down


Well as I have pretty much dismantled my server. Well turned it off anyhow I decided to use this instead. After all I dont really need to run a file/webserver any more with the 2 new drives giving me about .5 TB of storage on this machine. I just need to find a good place to host pics that either gives me free PHP hosing so my scripts will still work. Will have to check out Flickr I hear they do a pretty good job.
In the mean time I'll seek how this site does for pics attached to posts and upload one of the cat trying to hide from the thunder.
