  • 22:00 Remember, if I’m not posting. It’s likely that I’m caught up with actual non-computer things 🙂 #
  • 22:14 Among things keeping me mildly busy is new project that I’ve been contemplating for a while. Got a person to sign on to help. #
  • 22:39 The annoying thing about going back to old projects is you look at the artful flow chart and ask yourself, “Why the hell did I do that?!?!” #
  • 22:42 @Arclite I’ll see you and raise you. twitpic.com/zt029 But then again, you’ve never seen my dock. #
  • 00:08 Colours can be very nifty: tr.im/LCsP #

P.S. Anyone notice the posting time? It’s relevant.

  • 16:04 Good night’s sleep and Aiden is much better. Took him to StL Science Museum. Yay! Boy with science! #parenthood twitpic.com/z4653 #
  • 18:28 While not naming where. I just found a potential job 9 miles from where I currently live. Yes, I applied. No.. It’s not Mac. :-/ #
  • 18:52 @fredthefourth Checked that one. The union requirements are a pain and the salary would be a huge cut. Though, it’s not unlike our industry. #
  • 22:16 I’m such a twitter celebrity whore :-/ Early FF: Now following @itsLucyLiu She just fills me with happy sigh. #

  • 22:20 Unhappy boy whimpered with bad stomach cramping @ bed time. Just woke up… Well, I will spare the details. No school tomorrow 🙁 #
  • 22:40 A few episodes and a load of laundry later and we’re over hopefully the only entertainment of the night. twitpic.com/z0vnj #
  • 23:28 Let’s just say at this point… Shows seem to be hourly. So a full night of “entertainment” #parenthood #
