Still don’t have the hang of Sunday’s. Oh well, this one isn’t too bad. I’ve been pulling the stuff out of production all weekend and the main part should be down today. What a royal pain in the backside. I’m wondering if Oracle just doesn’t have the talent to tune the database so it actually…

Today always reminds me of the Robert Frost poem ‘Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening’. The shortest day in the northern hemisphere and the longest night. And miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep…It sort of feels like using this time to rest because there’s a lot more…

I got a great start to it today, up at 5 and trying to make the production exports work. I’m not able to pull the demographic data except for 500 records every 45 minutes. I’ve been doing this for something like 19 years and have never seen it this bad, there’s also a lot more…

This is my favorite time of the week. Tomorrow is only one day and regardless how bad it is, 5 o’clock gets here eventually. I’m riding the endorphins from getting an end to end XSL working in TCC. I didn’t do it from scratch but you know what? I don’t think anything comes from scratch…

I usually don’t care for the treadmill. You stay in one place but act like you’re walking. It’s not as natural as just walking because you have to kind of think about it. But with the back room getting put back together I positioned it in front of the TV and gave it a shot…

Once again I’m feeling good but there was a hot minute today that got my heart racing. I was having an issue in that the aggregate notes were way too big, 90k characters or more. Turns out that it was picking up the history of all 6 and put it for each application. The issue…

So I was cleaning up and putting things away in the back room and ran across a jump rope. I thought to myself, ‘hey, I haven’t done this in ages, I remember it being kind of fun’. So I took it outside and gave it a go. I think the word I’m looking for is…

I was working in the garage and the Jeep Gladiator from down the street pulled up and a young gentleman (Thad is memory serves) was kind enough to return cards that he found in the back of his vehicle. The perpetrator left from our driveway and headed down to their place. It was really nice…

I’ve been having an issue where I get overwhelmed with all the possible things that I could do that I fail to get any of them done. I rocked it today. I got some development work on the XSL done and I’m thrilled that I’m completely understanding what’s going on, it’s all making sense like…

Sandy’s car and the truck got rifled through this morning. I hate to say it but the best I can figure is that we left the vehicles unlocked which I’m having a bit of trouble with but he didn’t seem to break anything and just rummaged through the cars. He went to Kent’s vehicles and…
