I’ve been a web developer since 1999, and I’ve been on the indieweb since 2015. This site is a commonplace book for all my online activity and will eventually be a home for archives of all of my online content.

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I managed to make it into Tampa on Sunday night, around 20:00 or so. The cabbie ended up charging me extra for the luggage, as I suspected, and I could have dealt with that in itself. But things really started getting interesting once I got…

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I’m watching a show on the Science Channel about a group of card counters from MIT. The slant is that you’re supposed to feel sorry for the cassino owners, but I’m not buying it. If you live by the sword, (which all cassinos do), then…

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I put in my official two weeks’ notice today. Well, actually, I met with Mr. Frodo and the HR director to see what steps were going to be taken now that we all agree that we’ve exhausted all options. They told me to just resign.…

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. It’s a rainy, windy day here. I’m still recovering from a major sinus infection on top of bronchitis. It’s not even 08:30 yet, and I’m sitting back here at work, sitting at my desk. I’m the only one back here. Everyone else is up front.…

The Spammers Made Me Do It!
Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. Yesterday, jury selection began in the trial of the now infamous Mary Winkler, the young minister’s wife accused of shooting her husband to death in their parsonage. According to her lawyers, the couple were arguing over money after having gotten caught up in the Nigerian…

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I’ve been playing around with the Get_custom plugin to see if I could get it to work a litle better than I did the first time I glanced at it, and I’m pretty pleased with what I’ve been able to do with it. Now, I…

When Automation Attacks
Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I’d like to apologize for all the posts with no info in them that got posted yesterday. I’m working on implementing an automation system that will post while I’m away or unable to post, and there are some bugs still left. Note to self: Set…

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I started reading the Diary of Anne Frank this morning. It’s so sad to realize that the girl who wrote this never made it past sixteen, and died in such a horrible manner, just because she was Jewish. Every once and a while, some phrase…

I just spent the longest time talking to my friend Gina, who I haven’t talked to on the phone for at least a year, and that was the first time I had talked to her in ages. The first time I’m referring to was last year. We got our contact information straightened out, and it…

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I managed to sleep in majorly today, and thus I am not at work. I was supposed to be at work at 07:00, and didn’t manage to wake up for the first, groggy time at 06:24. Naturally, I called my ride and told him I…

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I heard the alarm go off this morning, and had resolved to get up at about 06:00. The next thing I knew, my phone was ringing, and it was 06:20. My mom was on the other line from Ohio. I got up, and managed to…

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I was reading through my LJ Friends page, and came across a post by a new ex-Christian. She says she used to work for the 700 Club’s prayer hotline, which got me thinking about all kinds of humorous things. Like, what would happen if I…

This afternoon’s meeting with Phil was quite interesting. Rumple Stiltskin came back to my desk, and told me that someone from Division of Services for the Blind was here to see me, and that we were going to work on the software issues. He also told me that this was “Phase Two” of our little…

Hey all, I’ve been browsing my LJ friends after a long while of not stopping by, and it occured to me that it might be nice if I posted every once in a while. I’ve spent some time trying to catch up with some of the blinks I haven’t talked to in a long while,…

In attempt to make life easier for myself, I’ve copied the audio lectures I have onto my PacMate, for listening away from the computer. (Actually, I did this Tuesday before I left work, so I’m not sure if it counts as part of today’s progress report, but anyway). I plan to edit the files down…

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. When I got to work this morning, and tried to connect to the drive that holds the calls I’m translating, I couldn’t get in. The system didn’t return any kind of “access denied” error, just a message that the drive could not be found. I…

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I posted earlier in the week that I had implemented a moods feature for the site. I now have a much easier way to handle this feature. Earlier, I had to enter in a custom field for each post, wait for it to update, and…

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I’ve spent the last several hours implementing some new features for the site, namely the ability to display current mood, reading, music, location, ETC. It’s been rather frustrating. I’ve spent most of my time tinkering with the code that effects the display, not the code…

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I normally try to stay away from making new year’s resolutions, because I usually end up not fulfilling them. Nonetheless, I thought this would be a good time to look back on how far Customerservant.com has come over the last year, and where I would…

Originally published at Customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I actually get to come into work tomorrow at 07:30 instead of 06:00. That’s so great. I’m writing this post using Firefox, and things seem to be loading/working a whole lot faster. We’ll see how the app handles all the windows I need to keep…
