Sometimes the hit flows up-shill.
Case in point:
Beth has a class project for her “gifted” class. She comes up with an idea and makes a blueprint. When she gets to a point that’s outside her expertise… namely: designing her presentation props in Microsoft Office – she enlists the help of Cheryl.
At this point, the assignment becomes Cheryl’s project. She takes…
There is one reader that may feel me on this one. Before I get ahead of myself, let me lay it out for you.
I’m in my office (no not now… I’m laying out the scene from earlier today), which isn’t normally such a bad thing… but I’d been away from it under the direst of circumstances: the dreaded sinus infection (with just a pinch of bronchitis for flavor). Due to…
For better or worse, right or wrong, there are two institutions I associated with Florida as a growing lad: Publix and Sonny’s Real Pit Bar-B-Q. When I moved with my family to Florida in 1979, there were was one developed corner of what is now a major intersection – and on that lonely corner of incadecent and neon lights sat our neighborhood Sonny’s. With my mother’s…
I’ve been toying with Firefox lately, but for all the wrong reasons. If you know enough about computers and the internet to be looking at this page, you probably know what Firefox is; but just in case you somehow slipped through the net… Firefox is another kind of web browser. That’s right kids, all you folks looking at the web through the Micro$oft window-shade (better known as…
I don’t much feel like writing, but I’m going to anyway… idle fingers and all that…
Let’s run down the list:
1. Skipped shaving… check!
2. Skipped church… check!
3. Skipped brushing teeth… (tentative) check (yuck)
4. Fever… negative (for now)
5. Sense of malaise… check!
6. Official flu diagnosis… negative (for now)
7. Leave the…
I thought I would check the site out from work during a break in the action, to see what it looks like through Windows. For those of you not in the know, web pages can look different with different browsers – even on the same computer, under the same operating system. So it wasn’t a big surprise when this page looked different on my Windows PC at work, via Internet Explorer. It was a…
I went with a loved one to a colonoscopy.
Yes, that’s just as fun as it sounds.
In the lobby there was a sign for “hot liquid” next to a table with a dispenser ubiquitous with America’s Favorite Stimulant. I was more than ready for some stimulating beverage, so I ambled over for a cup.
I have to give them this much: it was both hot AND a liquid. As for any implied…
As it happens, a rev B iMac and a six and a half year old laptop tend to bog down a bit when they’re bombarded with thousands of server requests from the internet. The problem has not been the traffic, but staying useful as a family room computer. Rest assured, you have not missed out on a quantum leap in popularity of this site. A large majority of the hits (say 998 of the 1000 or so a day)…
