I managed to score one measly frosty for free today. I am hoping to greatly increase that number over the next two days. I probably could have asked and received more, but I wasn't aware that the free size is appoximately the smallest amount of frosty you could serve that could conceivably be called a "serving", or a "bite" or a "large mouthful". Ok, it's not that tiny, but it was a 3-4-spoonfuls-and-you're-done type of thing. So ordering 5 or 6 at once would be close to getting a real si

Wendy's is giving away free Jr. Frosties this weekend. Starting 5/13 and going until the 15th, I guess you can just go into a Wendy's and ask for a free frosty. Yay for free stuff!

So I've started do the challenge at pythonchallenge.com.

And I am stuck I've managed to get to level 6 without much trouble, and without much Python actually. I used PHP instead and it worked great. Level 5 had a little that I did with Python, but then I took that and went into PHP.

Check out ourcolony.net. It appears to be some new alternative reality game tied to the next version of the xbox. To get in, type "play" and then click "Join a Colony" and type "37021033". I don't think there's much to it other than maybe a chance to see some pics of the new console before it is released or something. Or it might be the coolest thing ever. Anyway, try it out. Thanks.

After recently having the fire department (and I do mean the department, there were 3 huge fire trucks and an ambulance in front of our house) out to find out why our washing machine had large amounts of smoke pouring out of it, this week our fridge has decided that it wants to be a breadbox. A really big breadbox. The kind that doesn't really keep food cold. At all.

Well, today is the last day of uncertainty. At least for awhile. By the end of today or sometime tomorrow I will know if I still have a job.

I'm not sure at this point, which letter I hope I get. I will either be getting an offer letter from the second largest software company in the world, or I will be getting a letter that says my position has been eliminated.

I've got some new pictures of my baby girl up now. You can see them here.

So I've got the ReplayTV and it's typically set to record anywhere from about 12 to 17 hours of Olympics/day. These olympics are on NBC, USA and BRAVO.

Apparently Comcast thinks that even though they are listing that they'll be showing Olympics on BRAVO that no one will mind if they just take over the channel to let me know for THREE FREAKING HOURS that I can watch 50 First Dates, Scary Movie 3 and a bunch of other crap on Pay-per-view. Sometimes it's not even that.

So I picked up Rainbow Six 3 the other day for Xbox. All the Tom Clancy branded games have been getting great reviews and I love Splinter Cell 1 & 2 and Ghost Recon so it seemed logical. After this I still need to get Ghost Recon: Island Thunder and Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow, but I'll wait on those until they're cheaper. That's the main reason I got RB63 the other day... On sale for $20.

So the story has a happy ending now anyway. I sent the movie back last week and put delivery confirmation on it so the seller couldn't claim he never got it. Fortunately he let me know he got it even before I knew he had from the tracking number. He said he'd credit my account with the refund.

I finally heard back from the guy I got the fake DVD from. He gave me an address to send it to. I sent it with delivery confirmation, so hopefully that will help in getting my money back. I haven't left feedback on him at all yet. I guess it will depend on how he responds when he gets the movie back.

Wow, two in a day.

Anyway, I have an ebay question. I've recently (finally) opened an ebay account and have tried the buying and the selling thing. I've attempted to sell 3 things so far and was able to sell one of them. I've also successfully won three auctions.

I got a pair of sunglasses that are excellent considering I only paid $.99 + shipping, an adapter for the xbox controllers to plug into the computer and a pokemon DVD (for my wife).

I've finally got my gmail account, thanks to neverkevin. So far, I've received three emails. Well, two considering the first one was from gmail about gmail and was there when I signed up.

Labels sound interesting as do conversation threads. So far I have not received enough email to really use either yet, but I'm suspecting they will rock.

Let me start by saying I like a lot of different kinds of food, but most kinds of food don't like me. I like Mexican food. It tries to kick my butt from the inside out. The Indian food I've had previously was pretty good, but it doesn't like being inside me for very long. There's a lot of foods like that so I usually find something that my body doesn't have any problem with and stick to that for the most part. So about the only time I eat Indian food is with my team at work.

Dear Joey,

I understand being a baby is rough. Everything is new, stuff is changing all the time, especially you, and it is hard to get used to all the rules.
