And, a few paragraphs in, my laptop BSODed and rebooted. Or, more accurately, failed to reboot until the third try. I did backups yesterday; should I write or back up? I’m current. Write. Back up after writing....

I wrote some yesterday, but thus far today I’ve mowed the lawn, trimmed the hedge, grocery shopped… but no writing. No laundry or dishes, either, for that matter, but I’m more vexed about the (lack of) writing. Also, yesterday there was Harmony....

Because I was having trouble convincing myself to work out, I decided to set my alarm clock half an hour earlier and work out in the mornings. This prompted much mirth from the SO, since my usual morning routine has been to hit the snooze button for an hour. Jokes...

Should I be deeply saddened that the people most interested in my writing blog are @#@()* spammers? Listen, spammers. Give it up. Stop wasting my time. Stop wasting your time. I have comment notification turned on. I’m here to promote my writing career, not...

I’m turning off comments on older entries because spammers have found my site. May the fleas of a thousand buffalo infest their crotches! I’ll leave comments on for newer entries, but if you feel the need to follow up my ancient post about my television...

I rewrote the datediff function in the submission tracker and thought PHP geeks might enjoy it. I find it very sad that PHP does not have a built-in datediff function like ASP or Cold Fusion. /*The variable $date1 comes from the database, and is converted to unix...
