Well,
we had a good run. Looks
like the dragons are finally here to reclaim
the world. We can only imagine that our new
dragon leaders will rule us brutally and without
compassion. And since the new regime will certainly
need someone who can computer program and run
a crappy website, I would like to be the first
to welcome them. All hail our new leaders!
In
other news, nightly firebombing raids continue
to plague the world's largest cities. More on
this as it develops...
Kick ass Halloween party this weekend. Not sure
what to dress up as. Whatever it is, my bet
is it will be lame.

Yesterday
morning I looked down at the Heather Maxwell
Basil and noticed that it was growing. No fewer
than a dozen little basils have sprouted. Still
no luck from the seeds that I planted. What
else is new? I am dead last in my fantasy football
league. I just played my friend to see who was
the worst and he beat me by like 85 points.
I suck. Big news coming from the world of Dread,
but not yet. Don't want to announce too soon.
Todays thought: Should "today's thought"
be "todays thought" or "today's
thought"? I missed one day of school in
2nd grade and I swear to you I still don't know
the rule. It has to either be a contraction
(it's = it is) or possessive (Adam's friend)
right? Well what about "today"? Can
it possess a thought? I am really serious, I
don't know. Please
email me.

Sorry
to all waiting for 'Alan'
to be done. He has been put off a little. Have
not had the time to look into this (I know that
once I do, it will take about thirty minutes,
which makes me feel worse). Alright, that's
enough of that.

A
BIG thank you to Heather "to the Max"
Maxwell for buying a starter basil kit
for the cause of freedom. Long life to you.
If I had a webcam, I would so put it on the
basil plant and allow you all to watch it grow.
Maybe I will. Maybe I will. Probably won't.

Ok,
ok. So I have been out of existence for the
last decade or so. Well, I'm back baby! Well
long enough to put this post up and then head
back down to the Velvet Underground.
Plant update. I went back to my local plant
merchant and was informed that not only had
all the Rosemary and Basil plants been bought,
but that they are again out of season! WTF?
I bought some damn seeds. More to come in 4-6
weeks. F.
On
a happier note, um... I guess I have nothing
new to report. Oh, but wait, I have been assigned
a top secret project for work. It is strictly
on a need to know basis. I have code named it
the Alan Parsons Project.
If you need to know what it is, chances are
you do. If not, email
me and I will determine if you are worthy.
Also make note that I have pushed all dates
back (including the java crontab fiasco, mostly
because we have not actually gotten that project
yet at work, developing...)
Refinished
a coffee table i stole from my old roomate (Bobby
Dewar). I tried stripping it first, failed miserably,
decided to just stain over crap that was already
there, now looks crappy but shiny. F.
Oh,
and mark your calendars.

One
of my assignments at work is to learn how to
make some server side java app work on our servers.
Part of this is to try to get the app to do
something at a particular time. Maybe if i can
Crontab this thing for Windows, Linux wont be
that far behind and the ever elusive projects
goal will be scratched off. Speaking of projects,
I am going to have to put off working on CD
for a while. Creative resources are elsewhere
at the moment.

Did
you know that you cannot find a basil plant
at this time of the year? When is a basil plant
in season you may ask? 'In the fall' was the
reply of my local plant merchant. Although a
more specific answer could not be ascertained,
I am no more than a few weeks away from a new
basil plant. I just thought you would like to
know.
On a happier note, I have some kind of mutant
cold that is probably hunta or west nile or
lime disease or something. So I am forced to
yield to traffic and to take the hocky net off
the street until it completes its course. Developing...

Didn't
buy that plant yet. Don't know where one buys
a basil plant. I was thinking some place like
Hewitts. Don't think they have that in NC. So
i am planning on running a 5k this weekend.
The Ready, Set, Poe ™. The first 5k I ever
ran was the Father Murphy 5k in Rochacha. Ran
it in 19:50. So if I don't beat that, I will
be quite upset. My goal: 19:30. Must stay lose
and agile.
A shout-out to my fellow cap'pers up in Rochester.
The third annual CAPs Tourney™ is this
weekend. Much to my chagrin, I will be unable
to attend. I would if I had funny money. Next
year. I promise not to miss any steps.

So I am back from training from Florida. It
was productive. I got in there late on Wednesday,
went to bed, got up at like 6 am, worked all
day, took a plane, went home went to bed, then
went to work and here i am .
So
wow, I am awfully exciting tonight. Oh, thinking
about buying a new plant tomarrow. Yep. Maybe
another basil plant to replace my oregano plant
that died. farwell sweet friend. i shall not
look upon his like again. mostly because i do
not really like oregano. twas the father of
all my crops though.

I leave for Florida to train some folks on some

be a good time. Things have been a little scattered

a rut that i am currently carving for myself.
Have begun the latest cross training session.
This one will be sustainable clear through the
winter where hopefully there will be a marathon
at the other end.

In
grade school, I always pictured the "older,
working Adam" as being the same 11 year
old kid, only with money so that I could go
to the water park every single weekend. Why
don't I go to the water park every single weekend?
In
college I always pictured the "older, working
Adam" as reading and consuming every book
that I wanted to, writing papers, and finally
having the free time to travel to Europe and
other such exotic places. Why haven't I gone
to Europe or read tons of books or wrote papers?
Now
when i picture the "older, working Adam"
I think about how I desperately desire to want
to go to the water park every single weekend,
travel to Europe, and read tons of books or
write papers.

WUP is down ... oh wait its back up again. |

Re-ran
WUP manually and got an error. Took me about
23 hours to figure this one out. There is a
(gasp) error in the code!
If
a page is no longer on the server, it will not
show up in the mapping of the site. That's all
fine and dandy, but what if there is activity
on that page in the access logs! You are thinking,
"What the hell is he talking about".
Well, that just means that I never thought that
anyone would ever actually change anything about
their website (or at least the weblogs would
automatically account for the changes). In short,
I'm an idiot.
Will
require a bit of JAVA coding to fix. I will
just have to add a conditional statement. Shouldn't
be rocket science. Doesn't really matter right
now anyway because the whole Kit 'N Capoodle
is a manual process and I will always catch
this error, but once its working on its own
...
Thanks
to Heather (and Raf and John) as being a couple
of people who are reading my log from time to
time. And Dr. V if you're out there, I will
have a fix for this soon (and by soon I mean
not very soon). P.S. WUP is up now because I
deleted all bad Access Log entries.

Its
been a while since my last update. What's new
with me you ask? Well, I have begun playing
bass for a local Baptist Church. It's a pretty
good gig, actually. I have never had people
sing along to what I have played (nor had the
benefit of having a choir about 3 inches from
my left shoulder -- that rocks!).
I
am continuing work on my first ever album of
mixes (track number 2 is just about done). A
Music section to the site cannot be too far
away (in fact check out the projects!)
I will only charge $9.99 for each album (psych,
it will be free because I suck).
I
am going to good Ol' Albany, NY this coming
weekend to visit some old friends. Should be
a Good Ol' Fashion Hootin' Nannie™.
Everything is good.
But
there is the age old question... Hamlet, or
Fortinbras? Any
thoughts?

Ok,
so I have finally documented WUP. Burning a
CD and sending out to Dr. Vic as I type. I still
cannot solve the mystery as to why I cannot
crontab the Java process. I will have to do
it manually for now.
So
I guess the next thing to do is to code up a
search engine for the radio station. Not looking
forward to that. Seems like a real pain. But
it needs to be done. It shouldn't be super tough
either.

I
am really not all that bright. I finally began
to install the WUP tool
and I realized that I needed to have my site
designed with html not php (a minor design flaw
for the multimedia developer who created it).
Well, I have nothing that requires php as of
yet anyway (I will still be designing in php
just not the bulk of my site). Besides, I think
the php files were beginning to strain my server.
So what's new with you?

Well, I have been very inactive lately. Still
have not even started putting up the WUP tool
and have not touched the Gnawfish search engine
(check out the updated projects
page). I did look into it though and it is going
to be a bit of a pain. But I really want to
have a way so that people can search for music
without having to download 1853 songs in a playlist.
So
what's new with me? Went away to San Fran this
past weekend. It was a blast! Got to every tourist
destination I wanted except the Full House house.
But I was a block away, so I will half check
it off.
I
have decided to get rid of the weblog section.
I figure, what will go on the homepage if i
have a page for the weblog? Boy this post is
so dull, i don't even think I will proofread.
Paz!

Welcome
to Gnawfish. You have stumbled onto this
site during the unoffical launch. The reason
I am kind of launching this thing without any
real content is because I want to start gathering
web statistics to show my WUP tool off. WUP
is for Web Usage Plots and it is an application
that I "co-invented" with Dr.
Victor Perotti (although I think the prefix
'co-' gives me a bit too much credit). Check
it!
Another
cool thing that is actually kind of available
right now is Gnawfish Radio™.
I am currently adding some cool features that
will be available soon.
