I know...I know

Yes, I know ... as my adoring public, you yern for an update and yet I stiff you (no pun intended - at all). Yes I realize that it has been a over a week (almost 2...) since my last update but things have been interesting to say the least. I got my first paid computer repair job :) which yielded the highest wealth meter value to date (see below, note: the value below does not reflect the full amount since I spent $20 on diner for the fam last nite). It was a relatively simple job, a fdisk-format-reinstall (including documents saved before the wipe). Took all of about 4 hours to do, primarily because I didn't have a network port to use (had to go fairly old school - 3.5" floppy). The good news is that once I coppied over all the files to my computer I just compressed them to self extract and they fit on half the disks (there by halving my copy back time). The best news is that the client loves the improved performance. I also spent a very minute (pronounce my-nute) amount of time learning the ins and outs of Tkinter programming (python GUI). Therefore my program now has some very basic framework of what will eventually become a full fledged GUI.

Weirdest Thing I Have Heard Today

Yes, I have a new feature for ya'll the weirdest thing I have heard today.
Today's Thing: Assifier (pronounced ass-a-fi-er, kinda like pacifier)
Definition: Similar to a pacifier, this is an object that plugs a hole, specifically your ass. This is used in a number of situations. For example, you can use this thing to describe how someone looks, feels, or acts (as well as other descriptors that I haven't thought of...feel free to give examples of your own in the comments).
By the way, anybody who is looking to cash in on this great idea (for sexual pleasure, candy or other ideas) can't without my EXCLUSIVE permission (read as - give me money first, ask questions later) since I am coining the phrase. By the way, any comments that you leave will become my property, you forfeit all rights to your comments and they may be used in my advertising campaigns (possibly in exchange for an actual assifier at my sole discression).

Long weekend update

Although I didn't keep you up to the minute this last weekend, it was rather drab. I had a wonderful time being extremely lazy and I even got to get a little sick on Sunday night (which carried over through Monday). Kinda a long weekend killer if you ask me. The good news is that I got to work on my program quite a bit (to joy of my fiance). I also found time to see Shrek 2 and Troy, both of which I highly recommend. This weekend I plan on enjoying myself with another movie, Calendar Girls (which has serious potential to turn into a chick flick) and possibly catch The Lady Killers (which I know nothing about). For those of you that are wondering if I have taken the time to setup a SourceForge.net account and register my program with them...I have not. Primarily because I have not yet looked into the different types of open source licencing (and I have to pick one before I am allowed to start a new program). Maybe this is the weekend that I will finally invest some time in a GUI for my program...or maybe not. We will see. By the way for all of you that are interested in where I go to relax (with the exception of bed) I really like to surf the new images at deviantart.com, you might too.
