NASCAR HotPass Lineup

Those in the Chase for the Nextel Cup constitute the Hot Pass driver lineup for today’s running of the LifeLock 400 from Kansas Speedway. My little bride and I drove past the speedway a couple of years back; it’s a beautiful facility. I hope that my backside can grace one of the seats for [...]

Indulge Me

I’m still pondering the fine points of WordPress 2.3 tagging. Or maybe I’ve not progressed to where I’m even entitled to contemplate the fine points.
If I have any regrets about my many years in information technology, it’s that I’m not as fluent in web apps, and the coding thereof, as I’d [...]

Maybe for the Best

I documented a couple of posts back, that my Red Hat training trip had been deferred until November. A couple of reasins for the decision were highlighted in that post.
As if to remove all doubt about the prudence of my decision to attend the class later, I woke up this morning with a sore, [...]

From the tbbs Mailbag, Personnel Files Edition

From time to time, I share some funnies received via interweb mail-o-grams. There’s more than one grain of truth in this one:
HOW TO PROPERLY PLACE NEW EMPLOYEES
Put 400 bricks in a closed room. Put your new hires in the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 [...]

Raleigh in November

Sometimes plans turn on a dime. Mine took such a turn today; I’m not indispensable on the job site, but I feel obligated to stay and help my buds during the upcoming week. It wasn’t suggested by the higher-ups that I reschedule my class, but it seemed to me to be prudent.
So, [...]

Tagged

Well, last night’s experiment was a qualified success. The Embedded Tag plugin can be made to coexist with Simple Tags; the prior post has functioning Technorati tags, and tbbs-local tags were dutifully added to the database and displayed.
Only two things concern me now; neither is the fault of the plugins, as near as I [...]

Taggin’

In a continuing series of “Did this Work?” posts masquerading as content, I offer this one, whose sole purpose in blogdom is to test the efficacy of the Embedded Tag Thing plugin for WordPress 2.3.
Tags are a huge feature of WP 2.3, and I’m exploring. I already use the Simple Tags plugin for Technorati [...]

The Pre-dawn Updater, WordPress Edition

tbbs has hoisted the WordPress 2.3 banner here in the pre-dawn hours. No upgrade problems; there are two or three plugins in need of updating; I’ll save those for tonight. I’ll also be exploring the new features of WP 2.3 this evening.
Thanks, WordPress!

Punchlines #20

The unadorned punchline series continues with two more gems:
“Do you know I haven’t had the flu all winter.”
and
“I said chicken three times.”

Goodbye SWMBO, Hello My Little Bride

After almost two years of being referred to as SWMBO on this pixel torturing festival known as tbbs, SWMBO has come to the conclusion that being referred to as SWMBO makes her sound bitchy.
Henceforth, she shall be known as my little bride.
I’m sensitive like that.
