Matt asks, “About how many hours of productive work do you get done a day?” I put about 9-11 hours of work in a day, but I’ve got several clients and my largest keeps me busy with at least 40 hours a week. No complaints here, busy is good. Because I have fewer interuptions at my home office I have pretty fruitful time.

The Worst Part About Working at Home
The worst part about working at home is that the woman I love is just steps away, but I’m ‘trapped’ in here typing on the keyboard. The best part is that I get to see her on trips to ‘the water cooler’ and coffee pot. Oh, and I can kiss one of the gals while I’m’at work’ and I’m not having an afair 🙂 Actually, I can kiss both of them, cause Abby is a cuty, too.
StatTraq Screenshot
As promised in an earlier post, I’m working on a stats management system for WordPress, here’s a screenshot of the Summary View.
I’m working on implementing the plugin API right now.
Also, for the record I see that there are a few inconsistancies between the phrases/terms used. I’m going to fix those before the beta goes out.
Also, what things would you like in a WordPress statistics plugin?
Spider-Man 2
We’re going to see Spider-Man 2 today at 4:30! Woo-Hoo!
OK, so seriously, I have high hopes for this movie, the first one was so excellent that I must go see this one. And if it is 3/4 as good it will be a good movie, but if it’s half as good I’ll want the extra $2.00 we paid to Fandango to avoid lines back 🙂

Validation Rocks
The The W3C Markup Validation Service makes writing good markup easier because once you think you’re done you can validate and make sure you’ve crossed your eyes and dotted your teas. I’m in the process of converting WorldClient into standards compliant code (except in LookOut which is an absolute pipedream due to the hacks, IE 5.5+ only code and large amount of duct-tape and bailing wire used to make it ‘work’).
However, the conversion process started a wee slow but has sped up as I’ve discovered the usual reasons why things aren’t validated. Man did I write some bad code before I learned about web standards. I also didn’t have a good grasp on document types before this either, so this is a good education. I had no idea that & was a requirement in URL’s for HTML 4.0. All of the supposed 4.0 markup I had done previously was full of regular "&X=Y" types of URL‘s instead of the correct way to code.
In WorldClient a username and password is required to get into the pages so the best way I’ve found to get things validated is to login with Opera
and open up the ‘info’ bar and copy the path to the cache file into Firefox (because Opera barfs for no reason when I open up the validator in another page) on the other monitor and have the validator validate an uploaded file.
Thanks you W3C!
Tim LaHaye to Add to Bible
To continue the success of the Left Behind series Tim LaHaye, prophecy guru, has worked with the Pope, who has apostolic succession, to create a sixty-seventh book in scripture. This book will allow the Left Behind series to continue on for at least 20 more volumes, and because LaHaye and Pope John Paul VIIMILK are the authors of the new book for the Bible there will be a lot less concern about interpretation of the prophecy since they authored it.
Conservative Bible scholars are up in arms as is the Christian Bookseller’s Association (CBA) – for opposite reasons. The scholars are concerned that this is heresy stating that there has been no new revelation for almost 200 years (excluding whack-jobs like the Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses). CBA is upset because they’re almost certain that Wal-Mart will undersell them by $2.00 per book anyway.
Prophecy book author Hal Lindsey, author of ‘Late Great Planet Earth,’ says, “I wish I had thought of this, then I could afford to color more than my moustache“
Soldier Panels or Solar Panels?
Solar panels on soldiers will keep them safer, lighter and hopefully more environmentally friendly. Actually, this is brilliant, maybe I can get a solar panel suit and work outside to save energy. Or the flip side of this is that skin cancer prevention groups will freak out at the extra exposure required for the soldiers to recharge their stuff… we’ll see.
