My blog. Personal thoughts, anecdotes, and musings.

What a week Published April 30, 2004

There’s so much going on right now. I started working on a new program that will let administrators know when servers are unavailable. I plan to get it working and start selling it. The problem is that I don’t have a lot of time to spend on it because I have some web stuff going on as well. The new designs I’m working on are almost done, and I’ve set a goal for myself this weekend.

Not Done Yet Published April 24, 2004

Mom’s out of surgery. They found quite a bit of lymphoma in both ovaries, and some on her colon. They removed all the lymphoma they could find, but they also found an unknown mass in the uterous. It could be a fibroid tumor, or it could be much much worse. I don’t want to think about that, so I won’t. The surgeon said they would know more within two weeks, so we are all back to the waiting game.

Tomorrow Published April 23, 2004

Mom will have her surgury tomorrow (Friday) and they plan to do a biopsy during the operation. I visited Mom in the hospital this afternoon and she was doing well, but she said that she was in a bit of pain. I want to be there tomorrow but I don’t know if I should skip work just to sit in a waiting room for three hours. I am nervous that if somethign doesn’t go right, I won’t be there, but then what could I do anyway?

Hospital Published April 22, 2004

Mom’s back in the hospital again, and just like always I haven’t quite figured out how to deal with it. I kept myself busy tonight with work projects, and I have a splitting headache, but I don’t think I want to sleep. I’ll probably sit in bed for a few hours before I get some sleep. Since she’s going to have her surgury sooner than she’d hoped, she’ll probably miss the walk on the 6th, which means a lot to her.

The Storm 2 Published April 19, 2004

Wow. All I can say is that I don’t remember a day where the wind kept going like that. According to some reports, we had some wind gusts over 50 miles per hour around here yesterday. A couple of trees near me were taken down, and I don’t mean little trees. I mean big trees. Ana’s sandbox is flooded because I had to bring the lid in the house. It blew away a few times yesterday, along with the neighbor’s trash can.

What a storm Published April 18, 2004

We were without power for several hours last night, but it was odd because our area really didn’t get much. I looked outside last night and I could see the sky filled with lightening flashes, but none of them were anywhere near where we lived. We did get some rain though. That should help with the dust and ashes that has become my back yard.

Dan Brunson Saved Me $400! Published April 15, 2004

Thanks, Dan…. for showing me Inno Setup, a free software installer creation tool. It’s so easy to use and it has all the features of the install package I was planning to purchase this week. Combine that with ISTool, a nicer front-end for the compiler, and it’s easy to create any Windows install package you want.

Light The Night Published April 13, 2004

I’m not getting as many people interested in the Light The Night walk. My mom really wants a lot of people to come out this year. It’s only a small walk and the proceeds from the pledges you bring in go to fight lymphoma. Let me know if you’re interested and you have May 6th available. I know Chris is going to do it, but I haven’t heard back from many others.
