What a day!

So I was really depressed this morning because for the first time in like years I programmed for like 20 hours and wasn't at a solution for my problem. I tried a lot of different approaches but none of them scaled how I wanted or ended up not having particular feature my system required that I didn't realized until too late. Anyways, today was the total oppposite. Everything went right and I got enough stuff done for a whole week. I attribute it to switching from eclipse to netbeans.

Then today I discovered that netbeans has this awesome collaboration software built right in that lets you edit code together, chat, and share code snippets, etc with your coworkers over an XMPP openfire server.

So I got openfire setup and it even integrated with AD. Tomorrow should be the beginning of a whole new dev era, lol. Either that or it just means I will get more questions and not get any exercise, lol. It will definately make code review easier.

Here is a to a video explaining it and here is a simple pic

Inlaw's butt and St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day. The parade was totally crazy this year. It was so nice out and packed with a million drunk people. For buffaloI find St. Patrick's Day to be an annomoly, because for some reason there were only like 10 black people at it. This is odd compared to any other festival in a city where half the population is black. I guess the black and the irish people just don't get along?

Hiking at 18 mile creek

We went hiking today at 18 mile creek with (e:jim) and (e:james). It was so nice out.

We climbed on some cliffs and saw a waterfall with a rainbow in it.

image

At least my winter didn't suck this bad.
image

Afterwards, we went to Thirsty Buffalo. This was my seconds time there and I was really not impressed with the food. Its okay. The entrees are defiantely not worth the price. The last time I got the ribs and they were cold. $17 for ribs that were cold. (e:jim) ordered us the poutine fries apettizer. They were pretty yum.

Is this a gay guide to Europe

I saw this on the PBS member drive this morning. Who chose that name?
image

This is actually a gay magazine but it got so much gayer when (e:libertad) accidentally dipped it in the grease and blue cheese drippings from (e:terry)'s chicken hoagie at Jim's Steakout last night.

Ponderosa lemons

I think my favorite smell on dart is ponderosa lemon blossoms. These ones at the botanical gardens smell do good. A ponderosa lemon is a cross between a lemon and a citron. They are as big as grapefruits.
I searched for candies made out of them but came up empty handed ;
( Someday when I have a greenhouse I would really like this plant.

Event the cacti were flowering
image

The orchids are always so pretty

(e:matthew) made me talk a picture of these walking irises so that he could remember there name.

This plant looks like someone alien's nuts

Shrimpstravaganza

So, at Wegman's, the wild caught 5lb bag of jumbo shrimp comes to $9.00 per lb which is a great deal. They are beyond tasty.

And now the other one

Her "check" was "stolen" so she has like half the money. We didn't have a lease for her until she paid the first month's rent. Now she is saying its not really convenient for her to have a lease. I think its time for her to go which brings us back to no tenants. Serioulsy, that house is making me bankrupt.

The Tenant Calls

So after more than a month of missing in action and being evicted, the tenant calls while I was leaving the botanical gardens today to say she is "so sorry about the inconvenience but her baby was sick and someone stole her phone." Serioulsy, think about it, you disappear and stop payng rent and never contact you landlord for over a month. The last time we heard from her was the beginning of February.

She says she will need a couple week to get the stuff out, something about her SSI stopping and having to switch to welfare. What does it take to get one responsible tenant.
