    So today when I logged into gmail I noticed something – for one thing it didn’t just say “Loading…” it said “Loading XXXXX@gmail.com…” – AND it loaded faster – or seemed to.

    Ok, so first of all I didn’t get all of my goals accomplished today.  It really was a pretty good day until I started to write this post.  I then got a phone call from a previous project manager – for a project I have yet to be paid.  The project was a terrible one…

    So what do you do when life just runs away from you?  I thought after I graduated things would settle down… but it seems the opposite happened!  I think what it happened is that I felt like I should have more time to do things, so I got these ideas of catching up on all…

    I am sorry to anyone who has been posting comments on this site. I do not know what happened but somehow my user that is supposed to write to the database lost those permissions. I realized it one day when I was trying to figure out why I was getting all of these email messages…

    So I still have too much on my plate, but I have realized that all I can do is one thing at a time.  Instead of trying to multi-task everything, I have decided that I would just try to do one thing at a time.  I have noticed that once this is done, I can…

    This site will be going through some changes – You can see some of them on the side now.  I have converted my blog over to wordpress as I figured that would be quicker than creating commentability in my current setup.  Thus, we now have a new blog (although it should look virtually the same)…

    Are your Google Analytics stats messed up because you go to your site all the time? Would you like to fix that? Well Google provides a way you could block the traffic from a certain IP address. But if you are checking it from a range of computers then that doesn’t really do you any…
