Today was a good day.

I spent the day working on our newest and biggest project, which is beginning to come together quite nicely. Hopefully by the end of the week I will have a screen shot of the client end of the software, so you can see what I have been madly working on for the last couple weeks.

Next week I start on the server end. I am planning on 4 weeks for that one, but I think it will actually take 3, once I have all the equipment to test with.

Tonight, I went to Gunnings for their awesome crabcakes. And yes, once again, it was very good.

More tomorrow…

The day started off quite nice. I pulled out of the driveway at 8 am on my way to Baltimore. It was nice out so I had the windows open for the first three hours. I was in North Carolina before I actually needed the air conditioning, so I am sure I saved a lot on gas mileage. This was the first trip with the new truck (which only gets 22 mpg, while the Caravan used to get 24). Because of the difference, I was not quite sure when or where I was going to have to stop for gas.

It turns out I went almost 50 miles farther before I needed gas, which was strange considering the facts. I was making great time until I got just north of Richmond, as usual. I hate Richmond. No offense to the great people of Virginia, but everytime I pass through that town it smells, the people drive like maniacs, and traffic backs up for absolutely no reason.

Once I got past the "Richmond gridlock" I made decent time again, and ended up getting to the hotel around 6:30 pm. Ten and a half hours is not bad at all.

I am settled in, and I am crashing. See ya tomorrow, live from Maryland.

A Taiwan man who used a different identity through the Internet to double-date his girlfriend, has committed suicide after the girl fell for his email-based alter ego, a Taiwan newspaper reported on Wednesday.

In his letter to Hsiao Lan, Huang wrote: "Do you remember your Internet friend? That is me. But I never thought our love would have such an ending." – Sapa-DPA

But who did she mourn?

The committee that puts official dates on U.S. economic expansions and contractions said Thursday that the economy pulled out of recession in November 2001 and since then has been in a recovery phase.

November 2001? I sure am glad we have top notch experts on top of this. Could you imagine if we went a whole two years not knowing we were better off than the Democrats are telling us we are?
