Dead end....

After conducting a brief test, I have found further evidence of GeoCities' shortcomings in that it does not support PHP. I also doubt it supports CGI/Perl scripting of any sort, at least if you do it yourself. So far about all it does seem to support is HTML and JavaScript. I'm very disappointed by it all. I'd love to learn some PHP, and get back to some CGI/Perl scripting, but sadly, using GeoCities is like a one-way street that ends in a cul-de-sac.

Going down....

You know, I used to be such a fan of Yahoo. They had a monstrous index, free e-mail, free web-hosting, free games. I was even willing to put up with all the ads all over the place (with the help of Panicware's Pop-Up Stopper). Now, they're charging for everything, and it's reaching the point where there are a lot of limitations. There are lots of things I'd like to do with this website and can't, and you now have to pay if you want to access your Yahoo mail with a POP client or forward your Yahoo mail to another account. I almost hate to say it, but Yahoo may be headed for the shitter. Not financially maybe, but as far as my opinion of it goes.

Unexpected....

I should have posted much sooner, like Monday. Monday was the day Wayne Harmann, the owner of Harmann Studios, my employer, died suddenly and unexpectedly of an apparent heart attack. The situation, of course, has caused a lot of grief for friends and family, which includes the employees of the company, because of our size. The visitation was held Wednesday evening, and the funeral mass was Thursday morning.

With this turn of events comes a bit of uncertainty about the future, but indications are that the family wishes to continue in the business. On a personal level, I am glad, since it means I will continue to have a job. On a wider scope, I am glad as well, because it means that the family is finding a way to move onward.

Hilarious!

The Fox network has done it again. Last night I was actually able to watch an entire episode of "Greg the Bunny." This show is hilarious. I'm sure using puppets helps. The lines would be funny spoken be actual actors, but when spoken by puppets they're hilarious. It's pretty twisted humor. That's probably why it appeals to me so much.

Dream on....

So early this morning sometime I had this very unusual dream. I won't go into much detail. Let it be sufficient to say that it involved some people and places from my past, my college years, more specifically. I suspect it all has to do with watching "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" on Fox last night. I'll be sure to watch next week to see what other fucked-up images my brain can produce for me during R.E.M. sleep.

April Fools!

According to John C. Dvorak, I should be posting here everyday, while I'm at work, complaining and using blog slang ad nauseum. While the piece seems to be tongue-in-cheek, that's not going to stop me from saying that John C. Dvorak is a strange man.

In local news, we're having a wonderful snow storm today. The temperature is hovering right around 32° F, meaning it's a sloppy, messy, and dangerous snow storm. Just in time for April. Maybe it's Mother Nature's April Fools' joke.
