I’d have thought it was a month ago, but who am I to argue? On the other hand, it was actually on Tuesday for those of us in Saskatchewan.

At least it’s before my birthday…

Those of you who know Bob will get a kick out of the title of this article: Magician juggles hashish for customs inspectors. Not that I think Bob would be that stupid, but he was always playing with his balls.

I still haven’t seen Episode 2, and I don’t know that I really care. Thought I should fill you all in on that. Plus, we lost 13-0 last night to a team of five guys (We played 7-on-4) Nobody on our team could run with any of their team, and we certainly couldn’t jump with them. Made for a quick game, which was merciful. Most of the team stayed and played a bit of a scrimmage, but I was too mad at a couple of my teammates for the way they handled the loss, so I went home and sulked by myself. I don’t mind losing, just don’t start pointing fingers at everyone else, and I’ll leave it at that.

Another picture? Sure, why not.

It is very very hot out there. Apparently we’re going to set some temperature records today. Should be good for Ultimate tonight. It wasn’t nearly as hot on Tuesday, and it was too hot to be comfortable. Plus, we were at a field with shade. Tonight we’re at the field right by my place, but there’s really not much shade around. I don’t deal well with heat to begin with, so I guess I’d better bring plenty of water.

I’m going to post another picture today too. I haven’t looked at the logs to see what kind of response the pictures are getting, but I do plan on only posting one or two a week after this.

I see that OpenBSD announced it’s first remote hole (in the default install) in around six years. I’ve heard comments ranging from “That’s all it takes” to “Hah. Told you so” but I’d personally rather have that kind of record than what other OS’s have. There’s a reason that Microsoft and Red Hat don’t have “X remote holes in Y years” taglines on their front page, and that’s mostly because it would be scary to see. I guess I have to get around to upgrading my SSH now. Not a huge thing since it’s behind the firewall anyway, but I figure I should plug the hole anyway (since I’m sure my firewall isn’t the most secure box around either.)

The CFFL draft was last night, so since I was going to be over at Jason’s place anyway, I thought I might as well return a CD that I’d borrowed from him. I’d left that particular CD at my parent’s place, so I figured that while I was over there, I’d get Bryan to help me move the radial arm saw that I got from the auction sale home. Well, I got the saw, but forgot the CD *Doh!*

The draft went well, though I managed to draft a few too many Toronto Argonauts. I don’t know how I managed that, but it worked out that the best player available for each of my picks was an Argo. Overall, my team isn’t too bad, though not as strong as last year. I didn’t expect it to be though, with the expansion and all.

I’m going to post a new picture today too, just so you know.

Simpson’s quote of the day: “Stupid Flanders. Go ahead, Marge. Have a ball. What if I came back and I was dead from not eating? They’d cry their eyes out. ‘We should have never gone to the Flanders’. Oh why did we go to the Flanders’ and leave Homer with no food?’ And I’ll be laughing, laughing from my grave, ha, ha, ha.” - Homer

I got a promotion today, so I’m now a Programmer Analyst. Nice to have a new title, nicer to have a hefty raise to go with it :) Not a half bad way to start a Monday morning.

The weekend was pretty good, though extremely tiring. I can’t imagine how tired the people who were there all week are now. The auction sale went off about as well as can be hoped, with no rain. It was a little hot, and I managed to turn the back of my neck a little bit red, but it’s not as bad a sunburn as it could have been. There were lots of interesting stories on Saturday, from people driving their trucks right through barb-wire fences (just to avoid having to walk 200 feet) to comical people refusing rides from the parking in to the sale, then complaining about having to walk so far.

I was also lucky enough to be offered a ride in a Cessna 150 by a friend of my Dad’s (and both uncles) who was kind enough to offer to take someone up to snap photos. I was glad that I had the digital camera, because I don’t think I could have gotten as good of shots if I’d been forced to look through the viewfinder. The plane has a bubble window, so I could get pictures pointing almost straight at the ground. Some of them turned out pretty nice, though I wish I’d taken a few more than I did. With that, I’ve decided to officially open my new website at pictures.nodecam.com. I haven’t posted any there as of right now, but I will post one within a couple of minutes, and try to post one a day this week (scaling back after that to once or twice a week)

Tonight is also the CFFL draft night. I’ve got a bit of a strategy for the draft, but I doubt I’ll be able to get the players that I want in the first round or two. Curse my team for being too good last year .

The Skyscraper Page has a neat feature where you can compare the worlds tallest buildings - including those that haven’t been built yet.

Still in training. I think I’m taking tomorrow off, to drive out for the auction sale. Should be a good time, and the forecast is looking better down to 30% chance of rain now)

This week is more webMethods Training. Last time around, it was Enterprise Server training, this time it’s Integration Server training. It’s not too difficult really.

Looking at the forecast for the weekend, it’s supposed to be rainy in Roblin. This is disappointing, since that means that the auction sale will not be as much fun. I’m still looking forward to it, but I’m hoping it won’t rain.
