My high school yearbook picture from Grade Nine, Georgetown District High School, Georgetown, Ontario, 1971-72. Holy shit.
And yes, that’s the same Sharon Barclay who, a few years earlier, won the Grade 6 spelling bee because I forgot the period in Sault Ste. Marie and she didn’t.
LOL!
Time’s a wastin’ people.
Remember, participation is not optional.
Well, it is. But I won’t like it.
Not that I have any complaints in that department.
I marvel at how versatile php makes a simple static webpage. Along with MySQL it’s just - well - cyberotic.
In preparation for my Jeopardy project (and a still amorphous poll project) I am testing out various php doodads with forms and databases, using a faked up contact management setup with only one table.
I keep discovering neat functions in both PHP and MySQL that I will probably never use, but want to try anyway, cuz who knows when I’ll ever get a chance.
Oo, baby. What’s this do? Will that work? This was good last time; will it do now? Swirl or a tweak? Don’t be afraid! Something new? Something new. What if I do it this way? Yeah, baby.
I still got it!
Please check out my latest spider name poll. ‘Some Crazy Stripper Name’ won the first one.
‘Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip‘ debuted on CTV on Sunday night. It’s great. Can’t say enough. Please watch.
MI5 was on A&E on Saturday; I don’t know which season or episode. I was very disappointed. It seems that as the Americans have been learning from the Brits about TV crime drama and improving, the Brits have been picking up the Yanks’ bad production habits.
I’m thinking of entering NaNoWriMo again.
Write 50,000 words of an original novel during the month of November, local time. Easy.
Encourage me! That is not a request.
I entered in 2002, but didn’t finish within the month. I did finish it by about May 2003, I think, at about 70,000 words or so.
It’s a fantasy called “The Word in the Box” and it’s still a first draft, but if you want to read it, just ask.
Near Peter and Leslie’s is a great big graveyard. It is called ‘Prospect Cemetery’.
For the love of God, why!?
I was vanity-googling ‘Barkerburgh’ when I came across this.
It comes from Blogshares, the fantasy blog stock market!
Quote/Unquote: “BlogShares is a fantasy stock market for weblogs. Players get to invest a fictional $500, and blogs are valued by incoming links.”
It’s really a funny and interesting craziosity. You can register and get those $500 fake dollars to invest.
Love it.
1> ‘The Unit’ looks like a good show.
2> So does ‘Boston Legal’.
3> That poor kid in Detroit who the 911 operator told to stop fooling around with the 911 system…
4> I really should have been watching ‘Babylon 5′ years ago.
5> Dean Koontz’es’s book ‘From the Corner of His Eye’ is a good read, nicely constructed, even though hardly anything really plotty happens until about page 600.
6> ‘My Name is Earl’ gets funnier and funnier.
7> Venus Express!
8> I love this weather.
9> The last few episodes of ‘Battlestar Galactica’ have been kickass, except I missed it both times on Space this past weekend through bad TV viewing planning. I guess I need to take a course.
10> ‘Coronation Street’ is getting kinda wacky, but that’s good. It’s a little boring when things are normal.
11> Nancy Grace is a foul human being.
12> If I was taller, I could see farther in a crowd during an emergency.
“For Will in the Windows”
Does anybody have a copy of my short story from a few years ago?
I can’t find it at home or in my email (as an attachment to a Sent item) and I’m hoping one of you many folks can help.
You may have it and not know it if you didn’t read it when I sent it.
It will be a MS Word file with a ‘.doc’ extension, possibly with the substring ‘will’ in the filename.
It would likely be in your inbox, from one of these accounts: ‘dwjoyes@yahoo.com’, ‘dwjoyes@tnir.org’ or ‘dwjoyes@barker.tnir.org’.
Karmologically speaking, you’d be ‘rolling in clover’ if you can help me out.
And karmologically speaking, if you can help me out and don’t, well, in your next life don’t come sliming to me, gurgling ‘like sorry, dude, it was late when I like checked my email and I like forgot…’
Cuz I’ll just DEET, Raid® or salt ya.
