Mapping Network Drives

When I got my laptop, I set up a network between it and my desktop. My desktop has my mp3s and website files. I’ve then mapped network drives on my laptop for some of the folders on my desktop that I’m sharing across the network. I wanted to rename one of the network drives, but … Continue Reading

When the cat’s away … the mice

panic. :nailbite: Or at least this one does … LOL. The web department for my new employer consists of 2 people … me and Justin (my former boss and now supervisor). Justin out on vacation all week. That means that I’m in charge of the websites. If something blows up … I’ve gotta fix it. … Continue Reading

Too close to home

On Sunday mornings, I usually go out and get a Sunday paper … mainly for the store ads. When I went this morning, I had a little surprise. There’s a parking spot next to my garage. While walking to my garage, I noticed something on the ground in that spot that didn’t look right. It … Continue Reading

Shiny and new

For a while now, I’ve wanted to redesign the layout here. I was using a javascript script to make the 2 sidebars the same length as the main column so that I didn’t have to use tables (tables are EVIL for layout … fine for data). But it never seemed to work right. One column … Continue Reading

Come out, come out, wherever you are

How cold is it?

Making amends

I filed my taxes on Saturday nite. I got an email on Sunday telling me that my Federal return was accepted. And I got an email today telling me that my State return was accepted. So I was all happy. Just had to wait for my refund to get deposited into my checking account. Then … Continue Reading

The waiting begins

I just got done filing my taxes. I decided to go with Complete Tax. That was the best of my available options. I will be getting a $364 refund from Federal and a $36 refund from State. Not a fortune by any means, but it’s something. And at least I didn’t have to pay in. … Continue Reading

A little splash of color

Living in an apartment doesn’t give you many choices for color. I mean, you can’t paint the walls. Unless you live in an apartment where they let you paint. So, my apartment doesn’t have much color in it. White walls. Khaki-ish colored couch. Beige carpet. Pretty bland. See for yourself … I find myself watching … Continue Reading

Loosened the purse strings

I am not one who likes to spend a lot of money … mostly because I don’t like to waste what I have. When I need things, I tend to go for the cheapest version I can get away with. My coffee table and tv stand came from KMart. My kitchen table came from Target. … Continue Reading
