Dork-O-Meter

10.10.2003

I'm stuck in .NET hell today, but I found a link ranking the 10 dorkiest hobbies. I can only really admit to having 4 of them as a hobby at one time or another. But I'm not telling which ones!

Boring Designs

10.08.2003

After looking at the site the other day, I noticed how the same old graphic has been up in the header for nigh on a year now. It was neat and cool when I first started playing around with some of the effects in Paint Shop Pro, but after a while it gets old. And boring.

So what do I do? I put up something even more plain. Lots of blue. But I changed the header not so much for the look, but to try out a site search engine. I downloaded dgsearch a couple of months ago but haven't really used it. I had previously used phpDig for a couple of sites, but I was wanting to try something new. With my limited playing around, dgsearch seems pretty cool. It's configured right now to crawl the static pages and blog entries for searches (but no searhing for babe names for the links to the pics!). I've still got to figure out how to set it up to search the DVD database. There's all kinds of ways to configure it, and I'm just starting to play around with it, so there's no telling what searches will find (when I'm not breaking things!) for a while.

Plus, I've got to get inspired to come up with abetter overall graphic for the top. It's all just a little too BLUE. I've been reading a lot about CSS lately, so maybe I can come up with something cool using the style sheet?

Oooooh Yeah!

Today marks the release of Macho Man Randy Savage's Rap Album.

Beware the oncoming swarm of locusts.

Don't get me wrong, Randy's my man and all, but I thought wrestlers gave up making music after Hulk Hogans Rock-n-Wrestling cartoon back in the 80's.

<strike>402</strike> 390

10.06.2003

After getting over the shock of finding out just how huge I really am, I've gotten on track to do something about it. So, after about 2 weeks I've dropped from 402 to 390. 12 pounds. It probably sounds like a lot, but it only equates to a 3% loss.

But still, it's 12 freakin' pounds!

The key to how I've done it so far:

Eating smallerportions.

Slim Fast for breakfast (I hate to say it, but those things have way to much sugar in them).

Having Strep Throat The Strep should be mostly out of my system after today, so I'll see if I can keep up the weight loss without it. Otherwise, I may have to go smooching on the strep infected.

Just because it caught my eye, some Australian seats are getting wider to accomodate the larger assed. It makes me long for the day I can fit into a booth at Logans again.

On a side note, I continue the tradition of not speaking to Jerry on this day. Long live Adidas running suits!

When Half a Billion Isn't Enough

10.01.2003

I've been seeing a lot lately about the latest Forbes 400 list coming out. Seeing as how my interest in wrestling has been wanning of late, I decided to look and see how much Vince (WWE head Vincent K McMahon to those of you that know no better) was doing.

A quick look at 2000 saw #260 with $1.1 billion in net worth. That was followed by the XFL fiasco in 2001 that saw him drop to #364 and $700 million. His net worth continued to drop in 2002 as he fell to #386 and $570 million. This year, Vince doesn't even make the list, although he managed to up his worth to $575 million.

I get mad when I lose a $20 bill. I would hate to find out I was worth $600 million less than I was 3 years ago. Of course, I'm not worth $600 million now, am I? I'm barely worth $600!
