  • Shoulder & neck are killing me. Half from sleeping funny, half from stress. #
  • Today should be a productive day. Mainly because I’ll either focus on work to the exclusion of all else or hide under my desk from the world #
  • Neck/back are really killing me. Time to try to find some advil. I know I have some somewhere. #
  • RT @BuildingCamelot: The Secret To A Lasting Marriage http://ff.im/-2oJ7r <= “A Simple Marriage” is now number 1 on my “Want to Read” list. #
  • How long until Ibuprofen should work? Took 2 tablets 1hr 15min ago and my neck/back are still killing me. #
  • I’m following @ScanMyPhotos to win another Kodak Zi6 HD Digital Camera – http://bit.ly/RkcD2. #
  • Hulu.com blocked at work & curious about something. Can someone check & see what kids’ shows are on Hulu? Any Noggin/Sprout stuff? #
  • Any #DirecTV users out there? Is the protection plan worth the $5.99/month? Or is it a waste of money? #
  • Oh #Mythbusters, why can’t you put full episodes online? I can’t drop Cable TV unless I can get me some Mythbustin’ action! #
  • I hate it when I get weird debugging calls just before I’m about to leave. #
  • I’m loving the Heroes Season Finale. #
  • Love the #Heroes seasion finale ending! So cool! Yet, I hate the Heroes season finale ending. So long to go until new episodes! #
  • Working on my Twitter app. Think I have something good going now. #
  • Nothing like starting your day by almost being sideswiped. Some people just don’t look to the side before they swerve between lanes. #
  • Turns out that #Mythbusters is available online – From Amazon’s Video on Demand for $1.99 an ep. Not free like others, but still available. #
  • Whole season of Mythbusters via Amazon VoD costs ~$50. (Cable TV is $66/mo.) Could prob make a set top box that supports Hulu & Amazon VoD. #
  • RT @grantimahara: Last night there were people in a caged-off area in the back of the bar knitting. Was it for our protection?? #
  • Really surprised that no one complained when our intranet’s WebMD feed showed the story titled “Penis Spray for Premature Ejaculation” 😉 #
  • Was looking for a good book to read during “wind down” times at Disney World. Think might be it. http://bit.ly/yL0S0 (by @BadAstronomer) #
  • RT @HisBoysCanSwim: Would you put your baby in this? Looks like a cage to me: http://tinyurl.com/dnmtzz #
  • Closing down now to head for home. Pretty productive day. Only 8 more work days until Disney World! #
  • RT @mike_elgan Voters in Indian state of Maharashtra get indelible ink on middle finger Chief minister & wife flip proof http://bit.ly/hiHJL #
  • 10 days until our Disney World trip. Finger countdown time! 😀 #
  • Wondering how many other Twitterfolk will be at #DisneyWorld when we’re there. Twitter search shows @runningmama & @JessEdgar99. Any others? #
  • RT @mike_elgan The opposite of TinyURL: DickensURL.com converts long URLs into longer quotes from Charles Dickens! http://dickensurl.com/ #
  • RE DickensURL: My Dickens quote is: “There is a wisdom of the Head, and … there is a wisdom of the Heart.” From Hard Times #
  • http://tinyurl.com/dg659a. #
  • LOL. Seesmic Desktop changed my DickensURL into a TinyURL link. The link goes to TinyURL which goes to DickensURL which goes to my website. #
  • hmmm…. Wubbzy Clean Room door hangers http://bit.ly/so4Mo What if my kids hang this on my room though. 😉 #
  • RT @grantimahara: Want to see what kind of mayhem a one-ton ball of solid Lego does? Watch NEW #Mythbusters episode tonite 9pm on Discovery. #
  • Interesting. Apparently, you can use TVersity to stream videos from your PC to your Nintendo Wii over your wireless network. #
  • Why does my laptop always insist on freezing up when I’m feeling productive? It’s a conspiracy! #
  • Scale this morning indicated that I’ve finally shed my Passover weight gain. 3 pounds away from my Disney World weight loss goal of 185. #
  • Time to go home. No clue what I’m making for dinner though. #
  • RT @Shortpacked “i cant imagine how insulted jesus & moses would feel if they were called jewish” http://bit.ly/tWrWH <= Religion FAIL! #
  • 9 Days until Disney World! #
  • Looks like @SARAG517 & @kristsu will be at Disney when we are. As I walk through Disney, I’ll be wondering who’s tweeting their trip. 😉 #
  • RT @FitAndBusyDad: NEW Blog Post – Do Cheat Meals Really Work? http://bit.ly/pthFQ #
  • Back still hurting. This is the 3rd day. I can turn my head now but w/ shooting pain. Hope its better by the time we go to Disney World. #
  • It’s only 12 noon, but I already want to eat my lunch. That probably doesn’t bode well for my snacking over the rest of the day. #
  • All switched over from Sectorlink to Arvixe. On phone to cancel Sectorlink now. #
  • Sectorlink won’t prorate my hosting fee (5 days into the 1 month renewal). Sent an e-mail to their billing dept to see if they can do it. #
  • Sectorlink won’t promise to prorate my account. But if I make a note in my cancellation, they might possibly decide to. *grrr* #
  • *grrr* Not liking how Sectorlink is handling this. They absolutely refuse to do any prorating at all. #
  • Gets better. Sectorlink’s TOS seems to say that if they cancel my acct, they’d prorate the fees. #
  • So if I host warez & get disconnected, Sectorlink will prorate. If I just cancel the account, no prorating. Great policy there! #
  • Cool! Sectorlink made good and issued me a full refund for my month of hosting when they cancelled my account. #
  • RT @mike_elgan: Swine flu, it turns out, isn’t as bad as regular flu. http://bit.ly/10opwC <=The hype is more infectious than the flu itself #
  • RT @mike_elgan: This is madness, I tell you: http://visibletweets.com/ (RT @steverubel) <= Quite a cool way to view tweets. #
  • 1hr 15 minutes to go. Motivation is plummeting, though. #
  • 45 seconds to generate a report, 42 seconds to display it. Think I need to work on cutting down the display time. #
  • Trying to shut down, but computer’s not letting me. Freezing up. C’mon already!!!!! #
  • Can you believe what this mother feeds her babies?!!! http://bit.ly/1aQOHu #
  • She’s too busy for housework or making meals, but they “only get dressed & go out 1x a week to collect her benefits.” What’s she busy doing? #
  • 8 more days until we go to Disney World! #
  • Have 9GB in memory cards for our upcoming Disney trip. Wonder if that’s enough. That’s only 1.2 GB of photos per day. 😉 #
  • Each photo tends to be around 2.2MB, so that means I’ll need to limit myself to around 550 photos per day. Don’t know if I can do that. 😉 #
  • My wife (@TheAngelForever) just found her old camera w/ a 1GB memory card in it. That gives us 10GB to play with. “Only” 630 photos per day. #
  • All totaled, we’ll be able to take 4,450 photos during our 7 days at Disney World. (Plus Photo Pass photos & photos taken by my in-laws.) #
  • Anyone know of a good, free Hangman game for the computer? NHL loves playing hangman & I’d love to let him play it while on the computer. #
  • Suddenly tired. Is it nap time yet? #
  • No wonder computer was running slow, it was running out of disk space. Cleaned it up some. #
  • Have to reboot because of a previously installed Windows Update. Perhaps a short nap while my computer reboots. #
  • Yay! The weekend is here. Time to go home and plan for our Disney World trip. Only a week more to go! #
  • PHP, why must you torment me? When I think I’ve fixed the last bug, another one rears its ugly head. #
  • Bug tracked down. Unfortunately, it looks like the problem is that str_replace in #PHP is taking up too much memory. #
  • I’m trying to replace an array of values with “” (empty string) in a string of length 87,654,081. Is that too much to ask of #PHP? 😉 #
  • Note visitors of my across-the-street neighbors: When you stop by at 1am, DON’T HONK YOUR HORN!!! Get out of the car & go to the door! #
  • Time for bed. If anyone has any #PHP suggestions, tweet me. I’ll check my @replies when I sign on tomorrow (or is it today now?) #
  • Thinking of buying “Einstein: His Life and Universe” or “In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto” for downtime reading on our Disney trip. #
  • Coding my PHP app while JSL sleeps on the floor & @TheAngelForever picks up NHL. Wishing I was sleeping too. Don’t feel well. #
  • Lack of sleep + Allergies = Feeling blech. #

  • in Long Island for my Grandmother’s funeral (tomorrow). Missing my wife and kids already. #
  • Thinking of sneaking into the kitchen and sneaking some of my mom’s sponge cake. #
  • My Twitter app will have 5 different size settings. The smallest will be “Twitter Bird”, the biggest: “Whale”. What to name the other 3? #
  • Also, any place to get good (free or low cost) Twitter icons to use? (Twitter Bird, Whale similar to Fail Whale but not exactly) #
  • Maybe 2nd smallest could be Twitter Duck? http://tinyurl.com/6m3ums #
  • 2nd Biggest: Twitter Elephant? Middle one: Twitter Lion? (In honor of NHL’s favorite animal) #
  • Where to get Bird/Duck/Lion/Elephant/Whale/whatever icons though? Any artists out there willing to do it for website credit/links? #
  • Ok, time for bed now. Busy day tomorrow. Goodnight all! #
  • Just remembered what I forgot to pack. A dress belt to go with my suit! I had it w/ my suit but during various shuffles, it got left behind. #
  • Luckily, my normal belt is black & looks somewhat decent. #
  • Actually, the front of the belt is pretty worn, but it’ll have to do. These things happen when you pack in a hurry. #
  • Headed offline now to head to the funeral home. #
  • Funeral went off as well as can be expected. It was windy and cold, but at least the rain held off until we left the cemetery. #
  • Spoke to my relatives for so long that my throat is sore. #
  • 1 relative was very tacky. She walked around my parents’ house & pointed out things she wanted which she assumed belonged to my grandmother. #
  • Many items were really my parents’, not my grandma’s. Still, who is she to just walk in & try to claim things right after we buried grandma? #
  • Up early. All packed to go home. Off to temple w/ my dad at 6am, back to my parents’ house for breakfast, & then off to catch my train home. #
  • Hope JSL is feeling better. 103 last night scared me & made me feel bad for “deserting” him & my wife to go to my grandmother’s funeral. 🙁 #
  • Heading off to the train in a few minutes. #
  • Wish there was a way for DMs only from certain people (namely @TheAngelForever) to be sent to me as text messages. #
  • Just set my prefs so that DMs get sent to me as txt messages. Will turn it off when my train ride is done. #
  • Set the “sleep time” to 4pm – after I get back – to midnight to give me time to reset it. #
  • I pay for txt messages, but this will give @TheAngelForever another way to reach me if she needs to & I’m in a low signal area. #
  • Ok, headed off Twitter now to take care of a few last minute things before I head to the train. #
  • Back from my parents’ house. Actually been back since for 6hrs but had no time to tweet. #
  • JSL is sleeping beside me. Feels cool. Here’s hoping that his fever is actually down and not just hiding like it likes to do. #
  • Was loving Seesmic Desktop, but now it won’t come up at all. Tray icon appears, but no windows show up! #
  • Anyone know how to scan artwork? Specifically, paintings that are bigger than a normal scanner. Want to scan my grandfather’s old paintings. #
  • Looks like photographing my grandfather’s paintings is my only option. Just checked the back of 1 & the canvas is stapled to the wood frame. #
  • I wouldn’t be able to detach canvas from frame without risking damage to the painting & I can’t scan with the frame still on. #
  • Two of my grandfathers paintings that I have already photographed: http://twitpic.com/3s7lg http://twitpic.com/3s7lv #
  • My grandfather also painted a clown. Eyes follow you around. Scared me when I was a kid. Thought the clown was going to jump out & get me. #
  • Now I love the painting because it reminds me of my grandpa. @TheAngelForever won’t let me hang it in the house though. I wonder why. 😉 #
  • Gotta catch up with #Heroes. Monday’s ep still unwatched on my DVR. Was at my parents’ house after my grandmother’s funeral & couldn’t watch #
  • RT @grantimahara: http://twitpic.com/3s7lm – Captain Buster and 1st mate #karibyron. <= Wow! Kari’s popped. Wonder when she’s due. #
  • RT @TheAngelForever: This is the clown painting that @TechyDad is talking about. http://www.theangelforever.com/?p=67 #
  • My Twitter personality: popular inquisitive fair My style: garrulous coherent POET http://twanalyst.com/TechyDad #
  • Garrulous = pointlessly or annoyingly talkative. Me? Pointlessly or annoyingly talkative? Never!!! 😉 #
  • Bra deflects bullet aimed at woman. http://bit.ly/NucoP #Mythbusters should replicate this. @donttrythis @grantimahara, What do you think? #
  • Looking at DirecTV as a replacement for TW Cable. I’d still need TWC for Internet/Phone, but could save ~$10/mo if I switched TV to DirecTV. #
  • DirecTV Live Chat sales guy says they can transfer recordings from a failing DVR to a new one. Advantage: DirecTV! TWC can’t do that. #
  • It is very frustrating to lose all of your recorded shows because your DVR box goes funky. #
  • TWC FAIL: Searched KB for extra receiver price. Told to check Pricings or Build-A-Bundle page. Former had info removed, latter is 404. #
  • Found 2 catches in DirecTV’s prices. 1) Prices are for 1 yr. After that the price rises by $21/mo. 2) You pay $5/mo to lease each receiver. #
  • After factoring those in, DTV is cheaper than TWC for the 1st year, but those savings are quickly negated soon after the 2nd year. #
  • Sheesh. Jim Carrey claims aluminum & anti-freeze in vaccines could hurt kids. There’s no anti-freeze in vaccines! As for aluminum… #
  • …There’s also aluminum in breastmilk. A child BFing for 51-346 days gets the same amt of aluminum as from the entire US vaccine schedule. #
  • Carrey also rails against formaldehyde in vaccines. Amt in all vaccines for 6yr old: 1.2mg. Amt in 1 banana: 16.3mg. SAVE KIDS! BAN BANANAS! #
  • Best comment I’ve seen RE: Jim’s statements: “1 should not take medical advice from Ace Ventura and a Playboy bunny.” http://bit.ly/NGkGx #
  • Only 15 more days until we leave for Disney World! #
  • Just realized that w/ everything that’s been happening, I forgot to move my last sites off Sectorlink. Gotta try to take care of that today. #
  • Meeting time with marketing. #
  • Is it bad that I want to eat my lunch now? #
  • Looking over lists of things to bring to Disney World. http://bit.ly/ekhaE http://bit.ly/qJzSf and http://allears.net/pl/forgot.htm #
  • RT @fitnessdiet is giving away a new Ipod Touch to 1 lucky winner. http://www.fitnessdiet.info/freeipodtouchcontest.php #
  • This is a really nice use of photography to make a stop motion video. http://bit.ly/4Js0X Must have taken a long time to make. #

  • 40 Days until Disney World trip. NHL upon being told that on the way to school: “WOW! That’s really close!” #
  • Was offline (or at least off-Twitter) most of the weekend figuring out Passover recipes and stuff. #
  • Thinking of getting some Quinoa for Passover. It’s a seed, but acts like rice when cooked. Need to find Quinoa not “contaminated” w/ Chometz #
  • Just added Security Freeze on my final credit file. Need to request some free Annual Credit Reports next. #
  • So close to my weight loss goal. I began on Dec 7th at 208. Now at 188. Goal is 185 by Disney trip (5/9). 3lbs to go in 6 weeks. #
  • I tend to eat worse during Passover so it may be a stumbling block. I’ll have 3 weeks to lose Passover weight before my Disney trip, though. #
  • Passover coming up. Anyone know of any good spreads to replace Hummus? Perhaps something cauliflower or hummus based? #
  • Might need to recode my entire Twitter App’s processing page. Did some PHP coding (instead of ASP) for it last night, & it ran in 3 seconds! #
  • That section of the application usually took over 3 minutes. #
  • RT @OhNuts: Smart fryer uses a mere tablespoon of olive oil to make chips http://adjix.com/x888 <= I’d consider buying 1 when price is less. #
  • RT @mike_elgan: Now you can get a Master’s Degree in Twitter! http://tinyurl.com/cldh8n <= I’m waiting for the PhD so I can be Dr. Tweet 😉 #
  • How do you get PHP/Curl to stop sending the 100-Continue header? Tried curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, array(‘Expect: ‘)); to no avail. #
  • RT @mike_elgan: Saudi article scandalized by women-only coffee shops http://bit.ly/19LEGg <= Women laughing = evil? Glad I live in USA. #
  • Love the Seth McFarlane/Hulu commercial. “Because we’re aliens. *Mmmmm* Giggedy!” #
  • Made some major progress on my Twitter App. Still have a lot to go, though. Going to recode nearly everything into PHP. #
  • For now, though, I’m too tired to focus. Goodnight all! #
  • April Fool’s Day looks like it’s going to be fun…. Super Pii Pii for the Wii?!! http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/superpiipii.html #
  • Great. Time Warner Cable is expanding their “consumption billing” tiers. Basically, you pay huge fines if you go over your monthly cap. #
  • The caps they offer are 5, 10, 20, & 40GB. 1 HD movie download can be 8GB. Add in music, Windows updates, etc & overage fees can get pricey. #
  • Have you seen @TheAngelForever’s & my April Fool’s Joke? http://www.TechyDad.com/ & http://www.TheAngelForever.com/ or was it vice versa? #
  • Guess it is time to switch TechyDad.com and TheAngelForever.com back to normal. #
  • …and the blogs are back to normal now. #
  • RT @mike_elgan: Does Twittering at work make you a better employee? http://is.gd/qjfM <= Someone (not me) show this to my higher-ups! 😉 #
  • Via @OwenC: Report: Google in ‘late-stage’ talks to buy Twitter http://tinyurl.com/chsqvf <= Google & Twitter would go well together. #
  • RT @LanceUlanoff: Okay, quick survey: Who among you believes Google is Buying Twitter and who thinks it’s pure bunk? #
  • Looks like Sedar at my wife’s aunt’s house is falling through. Going to do Sedar at my in-law’s now. Need to come up w/ a meal plan quickly. #
  • Chicken’s pretty much a given. Simple Italian dressing marinade. Roasted sweet potatoes w/ EVOO, salt & pepper. Perhaps Quinoa pilaf. #
  • Salad to begin with. Gefilte fish. Perhaps a soup (not sure what type though). #
  • If I make enough, we can do the leftovers (plus maybe one extra entree) for the second sedar. #
  • This Quinoa pilaf recipe looks good: http://is.gd/qylR #
  • What are your favorite #Quinoa recipes? Preferably ones that are kosher for Passover! (No grains, legumes, or corn.) #
  • RT @RonisWeigh: Quinoa for breakfast anyone? http://is.gd/qyrM #recipe #food <= This sounds delicious & Kosher for Passover! #
  • Wow. I added a Quinoa search to my Twitter stream and it’s taking over. Apparently, a lot of people like talking about #Quinoa! #

  • New Zealand Court papers can be served via Facebook http://is.gd/nyag <= Just another reason I’m glad I don’t have a Facebook account. #
  • RT @mike_elgan: Lenovo Pocket Yoga pics leaked. Wow! I love this form factor! It’s a netbook that fits in your pocket! http://bit.ly/122AQ #
  • Things like the Pocket Lenovo make me envy hardware reviewers. I wish vendors would send me items like this to review. (*hint* *hint*) #
  • Watching Cramer vs Stewart. (Yeah, I know. Late to the game.) Cramer’s getting seriously owned! #
  • RT @mike_elgan: “MacGyver” movie in the works. http://is.gd/nz8v <= Will they film it using 2 rubberbands, a lightbulb, & some dental floss? #
  • Has an adult ever crossed the Adult-Parent line with your kid? If so, how did you handle it? http://www.techydad.com/?p=428 #
  • Twitter API’s Friendship creation method: “Befriends the user specified in the ID parameter as the authenticating user.” #twitterapi #
  • So which user winds up befriending which user? If I’m the authed user and UserX is the one in the ID param, who gets friended? #twitterapi #
  • Ok, figured it out. If I’m the authenticated user & I run this against UserX, UserX gets added to my friends list & can DM me. #
  • I was hoping it’d work the other way, but can see why it wouldn’t. It’d be too easy for spammers to auto-friend themselves & spam people. #
  • Go WOZ!! #
  • Wow, WOZ can really move! #DancingWithTheStars #
  • WOZ = WALL-E???? lol #
  • Just checked my e-mail. Arvixe has not only issued me a refund for this month due to the downtime, but given me a 50% off coupon. #
  • The 50% off coupon gives half off for a new acct for as long as the new acct is active. Tempted to open a new account & cancel my old one. #
  • I can give the coupon to friends also. Anyone interested in half price hosting? #
  • Steven Page left Barenaked Ladies? When did this happen? #
  • RT @wiifitgirl: Exclusive EA SPORTS Active demo http://tinyurl.com/c7yzaq <= This looks so cool! Looks like it’d be a great workout. #
  • “Brain Decline” begins at age 27. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7945569.stm <= I’m 33 & my brain isn’t… um.. what was I talking about? #
  • So tired. Just want to nap. Trying to be productive but my computer’s working against me again. (Randomly freezing for a min here & there.) #
  • Just copied my weigh ins from my notebook to my spreadsheet. Notebook pages get lost too easily. #
  • Started on 12/7 at 208lbs. Wanted to be 185 by Disney (5/9) – 23lbs in 22 weeks. Latest weigh in: 192.5lbs. Need to lose 7.5lbs in 7 weeks. #
  • Miscounted before. I have to lose 7.5 pounds in 8 weeks. However, 2 of those weeks involve Passover, a time when it is tough to lose weight. #
  • Rats. Cable box/DVR might be dying. We have the last eps of Pushing Daisies on it that we never watched! Might lose them. :-(#PushingDaisies #
  • I have this dream all the time. Anyone else? http://xkcd.com/557/ #
  • Buried in a ton of work, but 4:30 is almost here! #
  • Watching DVRed #Mythbusters Diet Coke and Mentos episode. When it is warmer, I want to do the Diet Coke/Mentos trick with my 5 year old! #
  • Apparently, Twitter limits the number of DMs per day. (Around 250.) Prob won’t hit it but I might still make my Twitter App e-mail only. #
  • Found out Zazzle lets you make custom ties. Thinking a Twitter Fail Whale tie would be hilarious! It tiles the image too. Looks really cool. #
  • Zazzle tie would cost $29.95. Bit pricey for a tie, I think, but the Fail Whale tie looks so cool. #
  • Ralph Yarro (from SCO, failed co that tried to sue Linux) wants to force all porn sites off Port 80. Someone please tell him it won’t work. #
  • In case you’re wondering why it wouldn’t, 2 questions: 1) Who defines what’s porn & what isn’t? 2) How do you enforce it outside the USA? #
  • 50 days until our Disney World vacation. Can’t wait! #
  • Has anyone else seen Google’s logo today? Eric Carle’s Hungry Little Caterpillar! #
  • Feeling shaky. I think that means it’s lunchtime. #
  • Commenter on my blog: “This is not important information for me.” Then why read and post a reply to my article? #
  • NHL’s adnoids are fine so he won’t need surgery. Still need to somehow help him to sleep better at night. #
  • Had to go to the ER w/ JSL just now. Wasn’t sure if he was choking at first & then he seized. 103.5 temp came out of nowhere. #
  • He’s medicated & home now sleeping. Temp down to 100.8 (last rectal @ hospital, 98 if our ear thermometer can be believed). #
  • This is JSL’s 2nd seizure. Unfortunately, NHL was right there during the whole thing. #
  • NHL initially panicked seeing mommy & daddy panic & JSL going limp. When 1st responders came, he got upset they blocked his view of the TV. #
  • Then he cried he couldn’t go to Hebrew School tomorrow. 5yr old coping at work. Worry about small things so you don’t think of the big thing #

  • Need to tell my parents that my in-laws are coming with us on our Disney World trip. How to break the news, though? #
  • They wouldn’t have been able to go, but I don’t want to make it seem like we were slighting them in favor of my wife’s parents. #
  • Got an idea for a Twitter app, but it’d quickly push me above my API limit. I should probably register another username for the app to use. #
  • Good morning everyone. At work today so I can use my vacation day for Fridge Delivery Day (also known as Thursday). #
  • Do you develop in ASP and PHP? If so, do you use separate hosting accounts? #
  • Typical. I feel highly productive and want to plow through my work and my laptop slows down to a crawl. #
  • Just e-mailed my web host asking why they changed their plans so drastically. #
  • From 140GB, ASP/MS SQL & PHP/mySQL for $130/yr to ASP/MS SQL OR PHP/mySQL & 4GB of space for $193/yr. Or ASP/MS SQL/PHP/mySQL & 8GB for $509 #
  • Was checking out Lunar Pages. They had ASP, PHP, MS SQL, mySQL, & just about enough space. Only allowed 2 websites per plan though. #
  • I asked how much to purchase additional websites (need at least 6) & was told I can’t. I’d need to sign up for multiple plans. WEBHOST FAIL! #
  • Just got a reply from Sectorlink about their hosting plan changes. #
  • They “introduced a new security model & new feature set … which unfortunately resulted in an overall increase of price.” #
  • They also added that any existing account “will continue to be hosted at it’s current cost and features until you request otherwise.” #
  • It does in the short term. It means we can stay on the plan we have now without any problems. #
  • Oops, that first part was meant to be @TheAngelForever. 😉 #
  • Just found a host to investigate. Heard good things about Surpass. They don’t do Windows, but mentioned a “sister company” HostDime. #
  • HostDime has a plan with 10GB of space, 5 hosted domains, PHP, ASP, mySQL, & MS SQL for $14.95/mo or $165/yr. #
  • If I can move my sites to using mySQL instead of MS SQL, and if ChiliSoft ASP works well, then HostGator might be a viable option. #
  • HostGator is $14.95/mo for unlimited space, unlimited domains, ChiliSoft ASP, PHP, & mySQL. #
  • RT and Enter to win a Boon Trio Animal Bag. Details here: http://twurl.nl/uj5t2a <= Only two days left. #
  • HostGator is also working on Windows plans. Looking forward to those. #
  • Going to try to switch SectorLink to paying monthly while keeping current plan. Otherwise I’ll soon be locked into Sectorlink for another yr #
  • Productive streak killed by McAfee Anti-Virus suddenly(and for no reason) demanding 90%+ of my CPU time. #
  • What’s sadder: A 13yr old might be the youngest father in Britain or 2 boys question his paternity saying they too slept w/ the 15yr old? #
  • Just thought of an interesting (and disturbing)wrinkle with the new #FacebookTOS blog post coming soon. #
  • Interesting. New reply from Sectorlink says that they’re still offering PHP/mySQL on their Windows plans. Website just hasn’t been updated. #
  • So their current “Windows Level 2” plan would fit my needs, but would cost about $253.20/yr (adding additional 2GB web space to get to 6GB). #
  • That’s still double my current hosting costs. #
  • Very productive “working vacation day” today. Got 18 items checked off my To Do list out of 32 items I started with. #
  • I love working on vacation days. No one calls and bothers me. I get so much more work done. #
  • Heading home now. Much work accomplished on this In-The-Office-Vacation-Day. #
  • Skipping #WiiFit tonight, but I have a good reason. My little one projectile puked all over our bed. He’s still awake but acting normal. #
  • Just watched #Heroes. My son decided to puke during the opening minutes. Thank goodness for DVRs. Don’t think it was a critique on Heroes. #

  • Got a voice message while I was in a meeting. It’s a wrong number. Should I call back to let them know or just ignore it? #
  • RT and Enter to win a Boon Trio Animal Bag. Details here: http://twurl.nl/uj5t2a <== Would be cute to take pictures of NHL/JSL on this. #
  • Called the guy back. I’d hate to wait around for a callback if I left a voice mail at the wrong number. He thanked me for calling back. #
  • Sectorlink has updated their plans. Were showing 1.5GB & 4GB for the Windows plans. Now 15GB & 40GB. Not as good as the 140GB I have now tho #
  • Just confirmed. I can switch from annual to monthly billing on Sectorlink while retaining my old plan. #
  • This means I can leisurely look at other hosts instead of having an April deadline. #
  • Poster on DisBoards said they were given a soup recipe by DW staff. The foodie in me loves this. Enjoy food at Disney then make it at home! #
  • Politifact, which during the election fact checked candidates, is tracking how well Obama keeps his campaign promises. http://is.gd/g1hq #
  • Current track record: 9 Kept, 3 Compromise, 2 Broken, 21 In The Works, 475 No Action (not surprising, he’s been in office less than 1 month) #
  • How do I tell my parents that my wife’s parents are coming w/ us on our Disney Vacation w/o hurting their feelings? #
  • The longer I wait to do this, the worse it gets but I can’t think of a way to casually slip it in without it sounding like an insult. #
  • The complication w/ my parents is that they’re looking after my 94yr old grandmother so they can’t leave her for long. #
  • Thanks @classymommy & @Jentifa. I’ll offer another trip w/ them (even though I know they won’t accept). #
  • I guess I just need to get it over with. If I wait too long, I’ll need to explain why my in-laws are in the vacation photos. 😉 #
  • Trying to pack up and head home but the “1 last test” I did of a page turned into infinite recursion. Trying to shut it down before I leave. #
  • 80 days until we go to Disney World now. #
  • Computer moving slowly today. My brain’s moving slowly also. Is it naptime? #
  • RT @WorthyWire: North Dakota House Gives Fertilized Eggs Human Status http://tinyurl.com/awob2t <= Fertility treatment ramifications? #
  • When couples are done w/ IVF, fertilized eggs might be left over. Those are usually destroyed. Under the ND bill, that would be murder. #
  • Why can’t I just get a list of a user’s friends using the Twitter API without going through page after page? #
  • Got a great Twitter-based app in mind, but I fear I’ll hit the API if I need to go through page after page of friends. #
  • At the very least, it could give me a “Number Of Friends” figure so I can figure out the maximum page I’ll need to retrieve. #
  • Only going to pull the 1st 10 pages of a user’s Friends. There are 100 friends per page. That means a 1,000 friend limit which seems fair. #
  • Skipped my #WiiFit workouts this entire week so far thanks to our marathon cleaning sessions. #
  • Going to head to bed now. So tired from all of our cleaning. With luck, my wife & the boys will be able to visit me at work tomorrow. 🙂 #
  • The Crisis of Credit Visualized: http://www.vimeo.com/3261363 Very informative (and scary) look at the mess we’re in. #
  • Nine out of 10 parents swear in front of children: http://is.gd/kfmR #
  • Looks like my wife and kids won’t be visiting after all. Was looking forward to it too. 🙁 #
  • Hmm… The Twitter app I’m working on keeps crashing FireFox. That’s not good at all. That’ll need to be fixed before I roll it out. #
  • A bug in my code made a ton of TwitterAPI calls & bumped me into my rate limit. Guess I need to wait an hr before continuing my development. #
  • Parents called to tell me that my grandmother fell today. She’s in the ER now and might need to go to a nursing home for rehab. 🙁 #
  • Realized that my Twitter app will *ALWAYS* hit the 100 reqs/hr limit. Just the nature of what it does. Need to apply for the increased limit #
  • Running into too much trouble with a jQuery Queue plugin. Moving everything into a server side script instead. #
  • Oops. Last tweet should have specified that I’m having trouble with a jQuery *AJAX* Queue plugin. #
  • My wife is passed out on the couch next to me. I should really be getting to sleep also. But first I need to prep my camera for tomorrow. #
