I’ve been able to learn and write quite a bit in Django and Python. Chris and I placed fourth in the DjangoDash a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say, that’s a nice boost to the old confidence (especially with another rejection coming this morning). ... http://www.eyeheartzombies.com/2008/06/16/wait-a-minute-dad-did-you-actually-say-freedom/ So almost two months ago my position was “eliminated.” Obviously I think this was a stupid move on their part, but I’m powerless to change it. A good friend even went to bat for me on it, but that would mean they’d have to admit to making a mistake and ... http://www.eyeheartzombies.com/2008/05/27/changes/ Last night, getting ready for bed, Monkey was looking through a book. He’s starting counting thing lately, so Elaine asked him how many airplanes were on the last page (there are three). “Ten.” “No, there’s not. Count them.” “One…two…TEN!” http://www.eyeheartzombies.com/2008/05/05/counting/ I ordered a few pairs of pajamas for my son about two weeks ago from Disney’s online store. He loves Cars, so three pairs of PJs make a great Christmas present with his favorite characters on them. They got here about a week ago. One small problem, though. They sent two ... http://www.eyeheartzombies.com/2007/12/08/charity-pjs/ I’m special. That’s what the TSA agent at our local airport told me when he pulled me aside to pat me down. Yeah, little ol’ me in my dress shirt and pants, I posed a horrible threat to the wellbeing of the tiny commuter jet I was scheduled to get on. ... http://www.eyeheartzombies.com/2007/03/06/i-miss-your-heartand-the-body-its-in/ Jonas was beside him, cracking a soldier’s skull with the butt of his rifle. The lightly-armored man crumbled to the ground and twitched twice. Blum stepped over the body and followed behind his leader. He still hadn’t gotten a kill, mostly staying behind the more experienced soldiers. He heard ... http://www.eyeheartzombies.com/2007/03/02/chapter-7/ Check it out! OK, let’s try this again. It’s a video I made some 4 or 5 years ago for a contest in Tulsa. I won. My grand prize was a gold glitter-coated cordless telephone handset. Video after the break. http://www.eyeheartzombies.com/2007/02/19/award-winning-video/ Since I’m a stay-at-home dad now (not that I’m not looking for work!), I’ve had to adapt how I use my computer. You can’t just plop down on the couch (or, more likely, our new recliner) with the iBook in your lap and go crazy. The external USB keyboard that Elaine ... http://www.eyeheartzombies.com/2007/02/09/turning-tricks/ The update of Webpen went really well. I was quite surprised when it worked the first time I tried it. Just goes to show how the universe likes to screw with you. I’m not finished with it, though, by any means. I need to do a bit of an overhaul ... http://www.eyeheartzombies.com/2007/02/07/when-she-doubles-over-it-sounds-like-hallelujah/ Some of you know I’ve been looking for a job for the past while. The rest of you do now. So last night I decided I needed to try and get Webpen updated to the new look I’ve been working on for it. Yeah, did I mention I haven’t really even ... http://www.eyeheartzombies.com/2007/01/30/shes-laughing-like-a-choir-girl/
