Avoid daily updates that start off with “Well things are right in the world”. After posting that update: A tree fell over and hit a bunch of people in Frontierland, I got a sunburn at DCA on Saturday, and to top it off, I missed work yesterday thanks to some fine food poisoning. Nothing like waking up with the urge to vomit. Diamonds Are Forever…
May 8, 2001Tina won, the Kings have made it into the second round, and the family is going to California Adventure this weekend. Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo. Two years ago, I began the one month dash to relocate to SoCal. A lot has changed in the last two years, and it sure has flown by fast. It is also amazing we are still living in the…
May 4, 2001A hissyfit/brouhaha has erupted in the online Jarre community over Jarre’s lack of updates/responsiveness to people running his official site. It really makes no sense to me. Jarre has never been one to have ready communication with the fans. He has always said he wants to improve the relationship, but it has never worked out so far. On the other hand, I think fans have…
May 3, 2001With Dell Refurbished systems, you have to be quick to get your system. Ones that I have been looking at appear and disappear at an amazing rate. The same computer that was the nice price last Friday now costs more, when it appears. It is really frustrating trying to get a system these days. Buying a computer is almost as bad as buying a car.…
May 2, 2001I tried in vain to adapt a webmail system for SeaGranite use. Unfortunately my knowledge of PERL and CGI and compiling et. al. leaves something to be desired. I have hope that Dave will somehow figure it all out. This weekend’s gathering of family members at DCA to see my niece perform is rapidly approaching. Hilarity has already began to ensue. We’ll have to wait…
May 1, 2001Mark was down this weekend and it was nice to kick back, take in some Shaft with Samuel L. Jackson, have an extremely overpriced lunch at Y Arriba Y Arriba at Downtown Disney ($80 for four people consisting of 4 Tapas and 5 side dishes plus two drinks) and generally have a good time. Another one of my favorite commercials is for Washington Mutual. Guy…
April 30, 2001I came dangerously close to buying a new Dell Refurbished system online today. But then someone took it out of the inventory. It’s a pretty good deal – $800 for a Pentium 3 1.0Ghz with 256MB Ram and a DVD player. I’ll keep looking, but I’m sure I’ll wanna buy something soon. The old computer is beginning to wear thin. I’d go shopping in person…
April 27, 2001Timothy is 15 today – yikes! Having DSL return really points out the weakest link in my home access – the computer. As much as I really want a high powered 1Ghz+ system, I think at this point a 700-800 system won’t be so bad. My computer keeps crashing and the floppy drive doesn’t work. But what really hurts – only 3GB of hard drive…
April 26, 2001My DSL has returned. Now of course I need a new computer and a wireless network, but that’s another story. With my return to broadband, last night I finally synched the entire site. Club Josh is now 50MB and growing. A year ago when I switched to clubjosh.com, I did so because my site reached 20MB and I ran out of space on my old…
April 25, 2001I did some quick housecleaning on the site today. Despite the high traffic volumes, no one seemed to notice that some of the links on the Trip Diaries didn’t work. Oh well, they are fixed now. I also added a link to the respective Gorn galleries for the chapters. This past weekend I was at Disneyland and DCA – not once, but twice. It is…
