Checking my Yahoo! stock on E*Trade is, more often than not, become a depressing experience…
I know the stock will rise in value eventually… but seeing it now at a little over $23 US, I find myself smacking my head, wishing I’d sold some when it was worth $250 per share last year.

Proof that I’m not your typical testosterone laden male:
WWFE launched its XFL promotion a few weeks ago. I watched part of the first game, but then it hit me: no matter the rule changes, it was still just a football game – and I’m very bored by football.
This isn’t to say that I didn’t oggle [...]

Today’s work on the Flash site for work proved to be very frustrating. Few of the things I tried to fix worked… and tomorrow I’m scheduled to demonstrate the site to my co-workers! Lovely.
Meanwhile, this current contract ends next Friday, March 2nd. The director is trying to get another grant that would give me 18 [...]

Compu$erve has yet again allowed corporate greed to ruin a good service…
The message forums have been available on the Web for close to a year now. As you exit, a page for ‘My Compuserve’ comes up, since we are members.
The problem is: whenever you click a link on that page, you get redirected to one [...]

With recent events in the US, this Canadian has to play a game of “armchair political analyst”. Ignore at your own choice.
President G.W. Bush, in his first month in office: first, he’s pushing for tax cuts. Then, he orders another air strike in Iraq.
I don’t know about you, dear readers… but I first had a [...]

I tried to get more done on the Website I was commissioned to work on today. The chatroom still isn’t working…
As I’ve edited all the codes properly, it’s a given that the server folks still haven’t worked out the kinks in Perl.

Yesterday was annoying for me: while trying to take some trash outside for garbage pickup, I took a major spill on the upper stairs in my building. Good thing it wasn’t the landing to my apartment… I probably wouldn’t be here to gripe about it!
It’s still frustrating to me. I’ve now fallen twice in a [...]

Monday February 12th marked a sad day for us writers. I just got to reading the email I downloaded today and learned the news:
I’ve been a subscriber to the Inklings newsletter for years now. It was an excellent resource for writers, highlighting markets, news, and offering a lot of advice.
The newsletter and its website are [...]

I’m finishing up my lunch break at the office right now…
I’ve been fixing up errors on the Web site. Far as I know, this contract ends on March 2nd. Maybe it will be renewed, maybe not. Either way, I won’t worry as I did the last time… stay optimistic, but realistic as well.

Happy Greeting Card Day to those who celebrate it! Okay… it’s called Valentine’s Day… but for folks like me – uninvolved – it’s a sucky holiday, no matter what it’s called.
This was a frustrating day for me… I’m commissioned to do some work on a website, we set today as a target date… only few [...]
