Well I have decided that I am going to change this template into something so much nicer (OMG, just looking at the pool that's outside my hotel window, and WOW!) anyways... I am going to design it my self with my ghetto skillz.I just bought my mom a 19" inch monitor for 25 bucks from the county that I am working at now. That's another plus to working with the county!

Well, thanks to Bruce, and his constant nagging ;-) I am posting back to my long forsaken blog. A lot has happened, so I will start from when I left Missouri.I left Springfield on July 21st, the weather was a nasty 104 degree day. Suffice to say, I wasn't making enough money for rent, blah, blah. The bus delivered me back home in Wyoming on the 23rd, talk about a nasty trip!=====Start of digress=

Seems that a story has been floating around lately about a school systemin Lake County, Ohio about a kid that created a simple webpage with alink to the schools website, and then asking users to hit "F5" afterthey click on the link. Now that kid is facing a felony all because theschool thought that he was trying to "hack" their system. Now this is total bullshit, if they want a real hack, I'll

Santa Claus: An Engineer's PerspectiveI. There are approximately 2 billionchildren (persons under 18) in theworld. However, since Santa does notvisit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish,Jehovah's Witnesses, or Buddistreligions, this reduces the workload onChristmas night to 15% of the total, or378 million (according to the PopulationReference Bureau). At an average(census) rate of 3.5 children

You know, I was thinking.... I went to summer fresh ealier today to get some deli ham and there was a truckful of mennonites' there. All had beards, and upon doing some research, it seems that men with beards are married. I guess I wasn't meant to be in that area, as I can't even grow a significant amount of facial hair! LOL, I guess that was a random thought.

As I was driving to work after lunch today, traffic started to back up horribly on both sides on 65. When I get nearer, guess what, everyone was slowing down for a rollover that was on the right side of the highway. Both lanes! I'm not too sure if people were just gawking, or if the accident slowed traffic down, but it seemed to me that people were just gawking. Go figure. The new site design is

Hmmm, seems I'm running into a problem with batch updating a sql database using asp. I have a little over 54K of records, and I just need to update two damn columns! Every time I try, sql server processes block one another. Off to find a solution that doesn't involve 54K update queries.

I just need to make it more robust to where I just have to edit one template and it's published throughout. The code is amazing!

Ok, new stuff I suppose. Florida was awesome! I was able to get to know my girlfriend's parents better, they are really great people. PubCon was awesome, sure did learn quite a bit about SEO, (more than what I know now). Herbal site is up, that was one heck of a deadline, everything is running smooth too. Grass is making money, about ready to roll out 10 xml travel sites this year, can't wait!

As I understand it, the avg gas price is now 1.66 a gallon. They were taking about some spike in crude oil price, which I suppose can do it. Have you ever looked at how much tax is on one gallon of gas? I believe the average would be between, 30 - 40 cents in most places. So... instead of the gas costing around 78 bucks to get to FL it's going to be around 82-85 one way. Joyous! wolverinee@

Ok, so let's see here... It's now Feb, and the first post in a couple of months. LOL, go figure. Heading to pubcon 6 in Orlando that is the 25th-29th. I can't wait to get to warmer weather again! Been working a lot on my sites, not too bad, have two more that are going to go up. One is for my fiancee, which is going to be totally cool, and the other is another personal site of mine. So, email

Well been thinking about Florida again. It just seems like a good idea the more that I think of it. I'm just not sure... sitting on the beach with B (friends kick ass poodle) watching the waves come in, diving for sea shells... god, don't know what to do. Mac

Well I have been sick most of the week today. I get up in the morning a little before 6 o'clock and have to take quitea few medications, just to make it through another day. Jeez, I hope this clears up soon. My gf's kids are getting sick also, while last week she was sick! When all of this is over I will be one happy person again. Mac

Well, getting free tickets to the Gatlin Bros show next Saturday in Branson. Very excited about that! Well not really, don't care too much for country music, but it will be my first ever Branson show... hoping that it will be like vegas, but probably not! :-D The weather is getting much cooler now, winter is on it's way. My girlfriend is going to start on the Halloween decorations here pretty

Hrmmmm, it seems that perhaps I have forgotten about this little area of cyberspace. Well just a quick update; I have a new yob now, my girlfriend and I are doing good, I really love her and her children. Let's see what else.... My best friend that I grew up with is trying to get back into the Navy. He has an 11 month old daughter. My commute is now at 45 minutes, which I suppose isn't that bad,

Interesting aricle in today's newspaper: City Utilities executive perks too sweet for public to swallow Before condemning City Utilities' incredibly generous top-level employment packages, it is fair to wait until salary comparison studies between utility executives and those at similar utilities and those at similar utilities are revealed in late June. However, it doesn�t take a study to know

Well Saturday today... shouldn't have went out last night, way too much alcohol! Oh well, you only live once eh? Well the woman that I really like was where my good friend and I were, kind of made me feel weird, then I started thinking about what I was feeling before when I was so damn depressed. Then I had a few beers and a few yager shots. I will never do that again! I know that I really like

Talk about a bad day. The only bright spot is that I finished GrassIsCheaper.com. Now on to the crap. The contract that I sealed last Sat, I still haven't received the first payment. Rent is coming up, no money, my fkn phone isn't working now. And to top it all off, I'm never going to tell a woman exactly how I feel, in the immortal words...

Sad news today, this is an excerpt from MSN.com: The nation�s oldest person, a 113-year-old woman who witnessed the aftermath of the great San Francisco earthquake, enjoyed junk food and lived alone until she turned 102, has died. This is another excerpt: �She would be 114 in two months, and she kept saying she wanted to make it,� Aballa said. �I guess it was just her time.� You know, in my mind

Well here it is another Friday.... The BBQ was great, and so was the hot tub. Well GrassIsCheaper.com is almost finished, now I just need to finish up the XML Web Service. This is also to the beautiful woman that watched 8 Mile with me last night, I really do like you a lot! Mac

Hmm, going to have a BBQ today, should be a lot of fun. The weather is pretty nice, although it could be a little warmer. I am looking for people with a voracious appetite for home decor to write articles for my site GrassIsCheaper.com. If you are interested please write to me at Mac and I will respond to your query. Thanks! Mac

Wow, I have accomplished a lot today. The backoffice for GrassIsCheaper.com is done now. Now to the rest... Mac

My simple musings today... why women are the way they are, debating on using SQL server or sticking to Access for now. Mac

Ok, well I had a very productive meeting with a potential client. Just thought I would let you know! Mac

Why do people write cryptic code like this? SQL = "SELECT * FROM article" set bma=conn.execute(SQL) cdata = 0 IF len(bma.eof) <> "4" THEN cdata = 1 count = 0 DO WHILE NOT bma.eof count = count + 1 bma.movenext loop Response.Flush count = count - 1 set bma=conn.execute(SQL) lcount=0 DO WHILE lcount <> count lcount = lcount + 1 bma.movenext loop Response.Flush END IF This code doesn't even

Tracy and Chris, thanks for inviting me out to dinner tonight! It was the first time to Nakato's, I really did enjoy it! We need to do it again. Well I have to go bowling here pretty soon, so I will sign off.Beam me up Scotty!

Hello everyone! I watched a great movie last night with a very beautiful and close friend. The movie was Tears of the Sun. This is a movie I think that everyone should see. It was a little slow from the beginning, however, after the first 15 minutes, I was sucked into it. I rate this movie 4 asterisks **** seeing as I can't save images here, nor make half an asterisk.

I know that it has been a long time since I have updated. But that's all right as I know of only one person that will acutally check and remind me every day that I haven't. What in the hell is up with this proposal to ban smoking in our local area resturants? If this goes through, what are they going to ban next? Having a glass of wine during dinner? Now I know why I really don't like this city.

Ok, well it is a very beautiful day today. I'm just hoping that it will stay that way. Boy, old memories of an old girlfriend were brought up today. Not sure if I needed that... Mac

Well I have discovered the amazon web service. I really do like it, I should have the full site developed by the middle of the next week. I am going to focus on home decor. Good idea eh? Well anyways, it's a little different trying to get used to the whole working for myself thing. I like it though. Mac

Well an update, I am finally de-stressed until my business picks up. BTW, why does the MSXML2.XSLTemplate have memory problems and not being able to effectively destroy the object and open it again? Mac

Just one thing, Cory, have a great time in Ireland for St. Patrick's Day, bring me back some good pictures if you can! By the way, this looks very messy, but it works if you know that there are only three name/value pairs in a select. str = replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(str, "=", ""), "&", "*"), "city", ""), "stateProvince", ""), "country", "") Mac

Good words to live by: “If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because I bet that's what REALLY throws you into a panic.” Mac

Well, I know it's been a while since I have posted. Everyone, please salute everyone that is shipping out to Iraq. Timo, I wish you luck, and you will be in mine and everyone's thoughts here at work when you go there buddy. Be safe, and come home. Mac

Ok, well it seems that Iraq is going to drop another snow bomb on us tomorrow. I can't wait! Actually I'm so sick of winter, I am ready to go to Florida very, very soon. Mac

Ok, this is Anti-Mac, Mac's evil twin brother. I am getting ready to house-sit for a week, for my best friend Cam. He and his honey are going on a week long cruise starting this Sunday. Bon Voyage! I'll make sure to take good care of the "monkeys". While you're there Cam, get me a brown skin maiden if you will. :-) Well internet connection is down at the Casa, so I had to drop into work to do

Sporks.. the final frontier. These are the voyagers of the starship Sporkerprise. Their continuing mission, to delve into foreign Spam, to be used to eat a steak and then eat soup, to boldly go where no Spork has gone before.Mac

Hmmm, my latest musings are... WSDL, ASP.NET, and so forth and so on. It's a Friday, (thank god) and it's is drizzling here where I live. At least it isn't snow! Well anyways, has anyone heard the new Tori Amos CD? I purchased it last Sunday, and I must say, most of the songs are good. Maybe I should change the title of my page, as I'm just adding my thoughts and no gripings. Oh well...What is it

Ok, here it is a Thursday afternoon. One thing I have to say is this, if you have a programmer and you ask for something that's going to take a while and yet you ask for it in an hour, don't do it! I almost had a coronary from one of my clients today. Well anyways, back to the grind. <thinking_to_self>I still can't use my right click (blog this), oh well.</thinking_to_self>
