BlogI recently discovered the joy of ER Diagrams with
Visio 2003. With no artistic ability whatsoever I was able to create a representation of our server environment at work. Not satisfied with the number of icons I was able to use, I decided to create an overly detailed
diagram of my home network. And now you know how this page got to your screen.
Today I recieved a generous
gift from my associate
Duane. Out of respect for the gnome I decided to take a side shot, but I assure you he has a very healthy rear on full display. Now my
disturbing gnome has someone to keep him company. It's unfortunate my neighborhood has such a high gnome theft rate or I'd proudly display them all on my front porch for the world to enjoy.
Four inches of snow fell today, ironically 4 days before the official start of spring. I used to enjoy winter weather, and towards the end of summer I usually look forward to it. This winter started late and I have a feeling it's going to drag on. An associate of mine who resides 1200 miles south has been enticing me with tales of year round warm weather. The 4-5 months I lose each year to cold weather could be put to good use if I relocate. One can dream.

a dog can give. This was placed so perfectly it had to be captured in time.
Today is
Myrone's birthday, but unfortunately he
moved to California so I can't take him out to BoxBar for the occasion. Instead, I've decided to pay a few curb squirrels to dress up in bright orange jackets and knock on my door at various times today. If you see one on the
gnome cam you can relive the days of Myrone with me.
Today a warm front moved in resulting in wind gusts of up to 50 MPH. This made for some interesting scenes including uprooted trees and flying recycle bins. It also caused power interruptions which were entertaining at work. Unfortunately this warm front is only going to last till tonight, after which it's back to snow.
The gregorian calendar is used by almost the entire world, and has been since 1582. Since the earth travels around the sun in exactly 365.2424 days, every 4 years this calendar has an extra day thrown in on Feb 29th. Why Feb 29th was chosen I don't know, but I do know that the
Julian Calendar kicks the crap ouf the Gregorian. Convert now!
My friend
Duane and I went to
AutoRama recently to check out the latest classic and tuner cars, but wound up people watching. Detroit auto shows definately bring out some very interesting people.
I had a hell of a time of it, but I'm finally back. I apologize to all 3 of my loyal readers, you are what I live for and I've let you down. For that I'll commence my own thrashings, followed by the castration. During my absence there was a snow penis on the
webcam, and Butt went back on strike. Alright kids, see if you can spot the dates! My cat says hello to everyone, and I say goodnight.
