Spy cam

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. I've been running back and forth from my office to my son for months now. Every couple of minutes I'm up to check on him. Even in a matter of seconds he'll get himself in trouble though and I certainly can't be in the room with him always. Like once, I went to the bathroom and when I came out he'd gotten the powdered Strawberry Nesquik and poured it all over himself! Well, I have a new strategy...

Moms and dads out there, break out your old baby monitors. I set it up in the kitchen and now if he's anywhere near anything off limits I can not only hear him but I can see him since I was lucky enough to have been given a video monitor. Now Gaetano is confused that the moment he's into something he shouldn't be I know it. :-) Ha ha son, you're on candid camera!

Bug solved

Well today didn't turn out nearly as bad as I thought. :-) Had some difficulties getting my dentist appointments on time, but in the end I finally got there alright and had the work done. I'm feeling much better than before too.

Good news, I *think* I have solved the bug that was holding up production of JavaScript Assistant and CSS Assistant. If my solution continues to work as I re-introduce the code I removed for debugging, I'm gonna be thrilled! I've workd well over a hundred hours on CSS Assistant alone, plus Danilo has put a lot of time into it. It would have been a shame if the world never saw it because of a stupid bug. I just don't like releasing a product if a bug this bad can't be fixed or worked around unless. I'll definitely post my progress here as always.

911

Today's going to be one of those days; I can just tell. I woke up this morning later than I expected to (always a bad way to start the day) and needed to change my dentist apointment to have my stitches removed. As I was dialing it started to ring before I was finished. Startled that it rang, I promptyly hung up before the second ring. I then wondered what I'd dialed so I pressed redial to look on the phone and hung up as soon as the numbers appeared. I dialed 91111111111. How? I have no idea... the number I was calling was in the same area code as my parents and maybe I started dialing their number instead, which ends in 911? I was 1/2 asleep mind you. So I then called the dentist and rescheduled, but it took several tries because the buttons on my phone kept sticking. (hmmmm so that's how I dialed 911...) About 10 minutes later Brea police calls me and asks if there was an emergency because they got 2 hang ups from my number. I told her I was sooo sorry that my buttons had stuck and I misdialed. She tells me to hold so I do then she starts talking again and I was confused by whatever she said. So she says not you, hold on. So I say okay. Meanwhile I'm thinking that if this were a real emergency she's not too helpful. Then she says "Are you sure?" which I thought was great because maybe someone's got me at gunpoint and she's being thorough enough to see if it really wasn't an emergency. So I reply &qout;Yes, I'm sure, and I'm so sorry". So this gal gets upset and says, "Not you, hold on." Doesn't she know to put the mouthpiece away from her face if she isn't addressing me? Sheesh. So I hold some more... Then she says "Okay so there's no emergency, goodbye" Oh my goodness, how rude! :-) I mean, I know I didn't have an emergency but they should have a better way to check if there really was one. Like maybe call again a second time and ask to push a button on the phone or something clever, in case there is someone there with you preventing you from saying yes there is an emergency. Somewhat of a flawed system I guess. Oh well, thankfully there wasn't an emergency, and I hope I never really need to call 911... at least, not on her shift. ;-)

Underoos

Have you ever had one of those days where you get in the shower, realize you forgot to grab a towel just as you've filled your hands with shower gel? Startled by not having a towel, instead of washing yourself, you decide to wash you hair, and then realize you've used shower gel to wash your hair instead of shampoo? After the trauma of getting out of the shower and grabbing the nearest towel while still freezing, you then reach into your underwear draw, pull out a pair and start putting them on, only to then realize that the undies are really your son's Underoos that somehow made it into your underwear drawer? Has this happened to you? Yes / No.

Swollen

I'm still swollen... but easing off the medication slowly. I am so behind in all my personal projects that I won't even try to catch up. I'm just going to pretend everything is on schedule and move forward from here. Nice that I work for myself and can do that I suppose, but I'd much rather be caught up for real. Oh well...

Godfather

The doctor said that the swelling is the worst on the third day. I didn't believe it, but now I do. I feel like I look like the Godfather..
