Passing the Time

Yesterday was my last day at Southwest Solutions Group.  I don’t start my new job until next Monday, so I have 5 days to kill.  Today was fairly unproductive.  I watched a little TV, checked some emails, worked out, went to the grocery store, and cooked dinner.  It is a little weird not having anything to do even though it is for a short period of time.  I think I may go to the movies tomorrow by myself.

You have probably notice the site looks a little different.  I previously had this site hosted at my old job, so I had to move it.  The previous site utilized a SQL database.  SQL databases are rather pricey and since I am footing the bill now…it had to go.  This site saves everything in XML files, so no database needed!  It can be configured for SQL, but for the amount of traffic at this site it should fine the way it is.

So far I have not had to mow this year.  It needs it, but I just plain dislike mowing the grass.  I suppose I will get around to it this weekend.  There are several other household chores that I need to do like fixing the fence.  It is starting to lean a little in one spot.

There needs to be a website where you can post events to a public calendar.  I wonder if Facebook has an application like that.  Lets say I was in town this weekend and wanted to know if some of my friends where in town or if they were doing something.  Instead of emailing or calling everyone, it would be nice to be able to look on one calendar and see everyone’s schedule.  I guess it would only be handy if everyone actually used it.

Marin is watching Elmo and I think it is almost over…laters!
