Build a better contact
Ahhh, contact pages. I'll have to make a giant rant about this one day, but for now a small rant will suffice. I've generally tried to have one. Direct EMails are just a spam pit, even today with better spam protection. But many contact pages/forms are not much better and often they get hacked in some way. SinnerComputing still has one and it's generally not mis-used, but at the same time I think people don (...)
De-fatting the chew
Keeping my weight at (what I see as) a healthy state has been hard for me. Not crazy hard, but I keep finding I lose weight and then it comes back as my life gets in the way. When I was less not young I never had an issue, but that could have simply been 'cos I was poor.... Once I got a job I found people where saying stuff like "you're filling out" and I since was so in my headspace that I couldn't get fat it took me months to realise that fact was no longer true. By then I was busy in the (...)
Need a bigger day
So yeah, as expected no programming progress was made. Sux really. I did loads of software testing, and made some solid decisions on the future of SiegSpace.com, but even the news is still not fully transferred and I still haven't finished sorting though the photos I've taken. (I'm close; Intrepid Museum, and two locations around Fredericksburg. So maybe three or four batches? Although Intrepid could take a while....) But, (...)
All Sidewalks Lead to Roads
I'm over in the USA right now, and it never ceases to amaze me how much walking is seen as a non-option. Paths are often just not there, or end in carparks, or just... end. Google Maps is somewhat aware of it so when you ask to go somewhere by walking it generally takes a crazy amount more distance. Sometimes it's been right and my ignoring the advice forced me to walk all the way back to avoid probably being arrested crossing a major freeway going over a river, but generally it's possible (...)
Not stealing this bike
Excluding the one I have safely in my garage back home, every one of my old bikes has been stolen. (Even one that I gave away to someone else...) One while I was at a movie, one that was locked in my shed, three that were in my backyard and not locked (long suspicious story there)... but at last I've managed to keep one long enough to sell. My secret? I only had it for three months. I'm leaving where I am for another place prior to going back home, and there's no way to (...)
