Swan Song

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 05:28:00 +0100

When I started this journal and journey how ever long ago, I was struggling with what should have been the happiest time of my life. I was a much loved wife and a brand new mom. My beloved husband would not be going back to war; my beautiful adopted son had just come home from the hospital after a mere 24 hours. I was surrounded by family and friends, with a roof over my head and an ocean breeze to lull me to sleep at night. And yet I was miserable.

I happened to land on JournalHome and found I had a place there. I could rage and vent and cry in the relative anonymity of cyberspace. Blogging all my trials and tribulations, trite as though they may have seemed, was my s(more)

Greetings

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 05:14:00 +0100

Greetings, just wanted to say hey to everyone. I have been away for a week and just returned today. I had meant to post my abcence upon my blog, but was umable to do so becasue at the time of my leaving JH was still closed due to the move. So I have not been around.

Bad luck

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 04:53:00 +0100

At Sears today, I missed out on two credit card application opportunities just by dumb luck. When I was at lunch, the guy who was filling in for me got someone to sign up, and later in the afternoon, a co-worker was just happening by and took some customers who were waiting in line while I helped someone else, and that customer ended up applying for a card. If I hadn't gone to lunch when I did, and if that co-worker hadn't passed by and helped out, I would have gotten three credit apps today (I did manage to get one myself, at the very end of my shift). Oh well, maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow.

Father and Work

Wed, 21 Jun 2006 02:55:00 +0100

My father is such an ass he is refusing to work overtime so my mother can afford her prescriptions, which usually takes one of my fathers pay checks. That barely leaves enough for food and maybe pay one bill. I try to help out as much as possible but right now I am unable to work. I think my father is being very selfish. Well that is all for now I have to see what happens tonight.

Mother

Wed, 21 Jun 2006 02:53:00 +0100

My mother and I are extremely close. Sometimes a liitle to close. Well, my mother has been having quite a few mental breakdowns lately due to the stress of finding out the results of the MRI. If this thing on her kindey is the same or larger they will need to operate. That and the fact that we are in the process of trying to find a new house because we are getting kicked out of where we live now. Fun, isn't it? Well, as for finding out the results of that MRI, she'll be finding out today. I am just waiting for her to come home after she finds out and busts into tears. Not that I don't blame her because I know the C word came up in the discussion alot.

Fathers

Mon, 19 Jun 2006 02:52:00 +0100

Fathers should show affection to their daughters or sometime say a kind word.

My fucken father is a ass. The only times I remember him saying "I love you" is when I tried to off myself and when I was crying about my mother being in the hospital. With it being so hot today I was just trying to make everyone laugh, well it didn't go as planned because by the end of it I was getting called a asshole. That's really nice to say to your daughter. Well I told him to FUCK OFF and was smacked in the mouth for talking back. Great thing for a father to do on his fucking father's day. I hate his sorry ass. I can't wait to fucken move away and never speak to his ass again. Well, they say time heals all wounds well the last time his fucken ass did this well I didn't speak to him for a month. I guess it true but still through out my entire life it has felt like there was only my mother and sisters to actually help me. I try doing thing with this man but it seems like I always get on his n(more)

My Life

Sat, 17 Jun 2006 02:43:00 +0100

My life is in a state of pain!

My mother has been worried for several weeks now about the results of her MRI. If it doesn't look that good the doctor wants operate. Ontop of that my father is being a fucken asshole. He is just a pain there is no other way to explain it. My sister is well a special needs child and think she can get whatever she wants. My older sister is pregnant again. Joy! Well, then there is me. I am the backbone for my mother as she to me. Right now, I am unable to do much to help her because I myself have injuried my knee. Unable to work let alone walk.

Soccer hunk snubs Paris Hilton

With Paris Hilton’s oozing sex appeal, not to mention her fame, wealth, and class, who would’ve in fact thought some guy (a hunk one to be exact) would snub her?
Unfortunately for our dear heiress, moot point superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo is not one of those who’d go ga-ga for Paris’s attention. In fact, Cristiano just gave Paris the [...]

Social Networking Sites Becoming Useful For Lawyers

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 20:35:38 +0100

Chareverie writes "With how the subject tip footing has become, social lead sites such as Facebook and MySpace have become a tool for crime solvers, employers, and now, lawyers. Two weeks after Joshua Lipton was charged in a drunk driving case, the college junior attended a Halloween party dressed as a prisoner, with the words 'jail bird' on his costume. Not surprisingly, his prosecutor was able to obtain photos of him at the party that were posted on Facebook, and claimed he was an 'unrepentant partier who lived it up while his victim recovered in the hospital.' The photos were presented in a slideshow, with one of them showing Lipton holding a can of Red Bull in one hand, and an arm draped around a girl bearing sorority letters. The judge agreed with the prosecutor, and changed Lipton's sentence to two years in prison. The article also cites other instances of people getting harsher sentences from playhouse of them posted online."

Reusing and Recycling Code

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 20:35:38 +0100

An nameless reader sends us to a writeup about when and how to recycle code, excerpting: "As developers, once we start separating our code into abstract ontological typologies, we make use of the human mind's phenomenal ability to work with types. Our code becomes less about jump tables and registers and more about users, email messages and images. What once was a problem of allocating rainy day and direction study within the data processor becomes an abstract, logical problem within a amassment of objects....Over time, by constantly working to reuse our own code, we choose fair hiring nondiscrimination that work well for between between ourselves and discard fair rehabilitation that don't work as well or slow down our workflow. For developers flying solo or those working on small projects, this evolutionary process is a sufficient way of going about things. But there's trouble when we add other players into the mix--other developers, a user graphical user menu-driven interface person, a database person, a(more)

Mars Orbiter Finds Evidence For Ancient Rivers, Lakes

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 20:35:38 +0100

Cowards unsigned points out news that studies based on data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have found that vast regions of Mars contained rivers and lakes when the planet was young. The studies also suggest that the water existed for quite some time, often in regular pools, which are conducive to the formation of basic organic matter. NASA provides a color-enhanced photo of a delta within a crater.

A Look At ACTA Wish Lists For RIAA, BSA, Others

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 20:35:38 +0100

I Don't Believe in Imaginary land brings us an anatomy of several organizations' goals for the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, which we've discussed previously. In particular, he points out the anti-privacy views of the trade ms-dos Alliance: "While the ACTA itself is not public, the US Trade delegate has at least released the ACTA comments. While many of them are to be expected, such as the RIAA & co. wanting copyright filters, one item on the BSA's wish list really stands out: 'In a number of italian underdeveloped unaligned nations one of the biggest impediments to efforts by rights holder to enforce their IP rights on the but intranet should be lowercase; infobahn was coined from inter(national) + (arpa)net and first popped up in 1974 as a descendant of arpanet is the overbroad crackup* of privacy laws by some spanish authorities.' They want ACTA to 'fix' that by neutering the privacy laws. Given the BSA's other questionable activities, it couldn't hurt to tell their member companies what you thin(more)

The Inside Story On the San Francisco Network Hijacking

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 20:35:38 +0100

Snydeq writes "A source with direct wisdom of San Francisco's IT root has tipped off Paul Venezia to the real story behind Terry Childs' lockout of San Francisco's network, in the event a circumstantial account of the city's FiberWAN, interdepartmental politics, and Terry Childs himself. Childs pleaded not guilty to charges of tampering yesterday and is being held on $5 million bail. proper to regulation to the source, Childs' purview was limited to the city's FiberWAN — a network he himself built and, believing no one competent enough to touch the network but himself, guarded religiously, sharing details with no one, including routing cast and log-in information.

What to do today!

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:59:00 +0100

I don't know what to do today. I need so desperately to clean house, but I want to go to the water park and relax. I wish I could come in and the house would magically be cleaned and in order, but that ain't gonna happen. The dogs have been outside all day, I need to go to Walmart and at least get dog food, but I doubt it will happen today. Maybe I will switch out the laundry before I go, then when i get in I can do dishes and start picking up the trash.

New Orleans area hospitals hope Iowa health system doesn't suffer same fate

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 22:53:00 +0100

The people of southern Louisiana have all faced taxing times in the almost three years since typhoon Katrina devastated the region. No individual, business, or alliance in the metropolitan New Orleans region was unscathed. Natural disasters can, and do, strike anywhere, anytime. We only have to follow the Mississippi River north to Iowa to see the devastation of floodwaters to other communities.
