Man I really don’t want to sell this truck. Especially after I got it detailed the other day. It’s never looked this good. But right now it’s what I have to do. So here’s some info: 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 4×4 Quad Cab, 5.9L V8 (360 c.i.d.), 67,000 miles, alloy wheels, BF Goodrich All [...]
So here are my New Year’s resolutions, in no particular order: Learn how to juggle Don’t buy anything on credit Capitalize the first letter of every sentence in my emails (a lazy, sloppy habit) Be a more laid-back Dad, don’t sweat the small stuff Take better notes at work of processes and cool stuff I [...]
Ok, so what I’m about to show you is hardly rocket science. It is however, the first chunk of math I’ve done with PHP that is more than 2 lines long. So I figured why not, I’ll post it. I was coding up a USGS gaging station finder and realized that I had latitude/longitude values [...]
Let’s face it. New toys rule. Especially when they are geeky new toys. We got a new HP DesignJet 800PS 42 inch plotter at work a few months back, and I’ve been dying to use it. Hell, I’ve been so busy with other stuff, I never got around to printing anything on it. But I [...]
While attending Mississippi State University and earning my Bachelor’s Degree in Geology, I attended the Summer Geology Field Camp of the University of Arkansas during the summer of 1999. The following tale is a write-up I did for the Geology Department newsletter at State after we returned. It’s amazing what you can find on those [...]
Here’s another find. My fishing license from the summer I stayed with my grandparents when I was 16. All my grandad and I did was fish. And fish. And then fish some more. Those were the days. I just realized the license only cost $19 for a non-resident annual license. Wow, you can barely get [...]
Finds like this are one of the many joys of being a packrat all of your life. I found this in a box packed away when I was younger; my fathers late parents 50th wedding anniversary announcement.
Mexico. On our honeymoon. At breakfast. A conversation between the wife and I: The Wife: That guy behind you just got a beer with his breakfast. Me: Really? The Wife: Yeah, he looks like that actor, you know, the one that’s been arrested a bunch of times for beating up his girlfriends. Me: Who? The [...]
Hurricane Ivan roared into the Gulf Coast during the wee hours of Thursday, September 16, 2004. The eye went ashore around Gulf Shores, Alabama, not far from my sister in Perdido Beach. My sister and brother-in-law fared okay; they of course lost power (and probably won’t get it back for weeks) and had limbs down, [...]
For the past few days, I have been tinkering around with PHP while rebuilding our site at work. I initially did everything in tables and ASP back last year sometime. Just some small stuff, nothing major.
