Memorial Day Recap

We had a great time.
My family is wonderful. The older I get, the more I appreciate what family is worth. And, the more time I spend with him, the closer I feel to my Dad. These are both good things.
Possum Kingdom Lake is beautiful. I wish we had more time on the boat, because it [...]

Still none?

My readers are either very busy or very boring because noone has sent us a text/picture message, yet.

home

We're home. And noone sent any pictures. :(

memorial day weekend

I've got the day off today. We're heading over to my Dad's house sometime this morning, and then out to Possum Kingdom Lake for the weekend. Jess packed all of our bags yesterday, and last night we made all the food we were asked to prepare, so all we really have to do this morning [...]

well… that backfired

I posted the link to the "Chat":http://revjim.net/chat/ client on *revjim.net* thinking that everyone had already seen that link and knew it existed. Apparently, that wasn't the case. So, now there are lots of people in #revjim on irc.freenode.net. So much for productivity.

doctor, doctor, give me the news

After having another horrible taste of dizziness, Sunday night, and the physical illness that it brings, I agreed to have the follow up visit my doctor requested. I met with her this morning and she has decided that I need to see a specialist. She couldn't decide whether an E.N.T. or a Neurologist would be [...]

here we go again

Email, Weblogs, and Instant Messages are a distraction, at best. Unfortunately they are getting in the way of work again. So I'm going to have to cut it off for a bit. I will check email once every couple of hours. If you need something, want to tell me something, or even just wish to [...]

coding

I've been coding for quite some time now. I've either written, co-written, or designed well over 200 corporate level applications using various programming levels. Of course, they weren't all perfect. In fact, I don't think any of them were perfect. Put the point is, I've been around the block a few times, and I know [...]

too awake

It seems that "Jess":http://livejournal.com/~sivatonight/ and I "had":http://www.livejournal.com/users/sivatonight/322652.html "the":http://www.livejournal.com/users/sivatonight/322939.html "same":http://www.livejournal.com/users/sivatonight/323210.html "idea":http://www.livejournal.com/users/sivatonight/323539.html last night — both of us, unable to sleep. However, hers was at the end of the nights rest, while mine occured before it began.
Part of the problem was that I stayed awake until well after 1am buried deep in "the book I'm reading":http://revjim.net/item/10035/. As [...]

new book: "Speaker for the Dead" by Orson Scott Card

Thanks again to "Matt":http://livejournal.com/users/crackmonkey/ and "Melissa":http://livejournal.com/users/filmstar/ for orginally recommending this series to me.
I finished "Ender's Game" some time ago, and loved it. So, I bought a few other books from the series, but haven't had the time to crack one open until yesterday. And then I read 250 pages.
I used to read constantly. However, as [...]
