Sorry to hear that Sue. It's been my experience in the past that losing a job has generally turned out to be a positive thing, though it never seems that way when it happens.

good afternoon everyone |waves|

ok, these kids are driving me CRAZY!!|crazy| well, more crazy, anyway lol. I have to keep them busy during the day and work at night, which actually works out well because I get my best work done at 3am, just have to have a nap after dinner and I'm ready to go!

Sue, sorry to hear about that :( I do agree with Sheepy, though - seems like every time our lives here get just about to rock bottom, something comes through. You've got great karma so here's hoping things improve for you guys :)

have a great rest of the day everyone!
:)

Good Day Peoples,

Still in bed and sick, THE WIFE WILL NOT LET ME GET OUT OF BED!!!|banghead||cry| She said I am supposed to stay put and suffer. I am serious, that is what she said.

Sorry about that Sue, stay positive things turn around before you know it.

Probably due to your anti-WP post the other day, I searched around for other blog programs. I found a really small one which is ideal for me since I don't need/want all those widgety plug-a-ma-doodles. It had a simple tagging system built-in and an RSS feed, but no other real blogging tools. It didn't have a text editor, just a plain old textarea for posts, so I slapped on a readily available editor/image uploader (fckeditor) which has made posting very easy. I also hacked the script and added a .htaccess file to create SEF URLs.

The template is comprised of a single HTML page and one CSS file, so it's a breeze to modify. The admin is so simple and straight-forward, it's a breath of fresh air. It's not cluttered or confusing at all. Sure, you can't do most of the things that WP can do, but you can edit post dates, create drafts and delete comments (they are off by default when you create a new post anyway). I think there are only 6 or 7 tables in the database. This thing is skinny, though you'd never know from the front end - which loads so quickly and smoothly since it has to perform around 18,000,000,000 fewer queries than WP. Of course, being the ass that I am, I decided to take advantage of that by over-loading it with images. :)

I like this thing so much that I may actually make another attempt at blogging.

Good day everybody. I'm giddy with anticipation. The gf is coming back after two weeks away and she's bringing her sexy female bits with her. Her company! Her company! I miss her company...her sweet, sweet company:)

Beautiful sunny Day here. Hope to get a little work done so i will be in copy paste hell for most of the day. I then hope to take a walk along the river for a bit with my smuck of a dog.
Sue karma is a great thing it will all work out just think good thoughts.

Have a great day everyone

Been doing my best to stay off the PC today as lightning strikes have been slamming around here for the last two days. But supposed to break this humid streak and be down to 76 tomorrow. Yippie!

Good afternoon all. Heres to the dog days of summer.

It's a horrible fucking thing to lose a job when you know it's not your fault, especially when you know that the cocksuckers who're to blame are still in there taking a paycheck. |angry| It's hard to get past the anger and carry on, but he'll feel a whole lot better when he's able to move on. Good luck to you and your hubby, Sue.

I started a wordpress blog specifically to see how it worked and test it on a new hosting platform and I must say, I am amazed at a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff that wordpress does. Wordpress SEO is pretty good, but, I can't get around the performance factor behind it. Not that my personal life is going to generate massive traffic, but, it sure prevents me from using it for other projects that do require the ability to handle traffic.

I'm still not decided against writing my own platform after I get my next project done.

Thanks for the all the posts of encouragement your so nice |thumb

Bob's cell phone rang off the hook all day. So far he has two great job interviews for tomorrow :D Bob is the last person you want to see get screwed the way he did. And by all the calls he got today I'm not the only one that feels that way. I'm drinking a cold beer to relax he's drinking much harder stuff..:D But we are more encouraged than yesterday!

Thanks again!
