Jim and I exchanged our gifts last night. He surprised me with a gigantic plush frog, a plush Firefox, a few other Firefox goodies, and a TON of my favorite candy.
I gave Jim a very nice golf shirt and some swanky unmentionables. RAWR!
Jessie’s getting a nifty Hello Kitty lunch kit from me, and a gigantic plush doggie and ton of candy from Jim. She’s spent the week with her mother, so we get her back tonight and most of tomorrow. We’re hoping to have her some this weekend too, but that’s a bit sketchy as we’ll also be helping Jim’s mom move to Montgomery, and I’ve got a side project that I’ve got to finish this weekend. I’m hoping to get out at some point and pick up some books … I’ve been working on a SharePoint template for work and am a little stuck (messing around in MS’ proprietary format/code). So we’ll see …
I hope y’all are having a good day/week!

I think the domain shuffle is pretty much through. I moved over the bulk of my domains last night and dropped 4 today. There may be the odd missing image or directory here or there, but I think I’ve covered about 98% of the site. You may also notice a change on the front page. I have removed my Firefox Extension Development page link from the navigation menu and added my Fanlistings. I doubt I will be continuing the development on the extensions I’ve done in the past, as I’m no longer involved in those projects. I may decide to start new ones in the 3.0 format later, but simply don’t have the time (or interest) to do it now.
Also, I have rearranged the sidebar a bit. Hopefully the recently blogged items are more visible now. (sorry ’bout that Jo! :)) I’ve also added a couple new collapsing sections, the newest being Local Link Love which features metro-area sites and organizations of which I’m involved, or have discussed here previously. Feel free to take a peek and stretch out a bit.
There are several new interests I’ve been wanting to add in for a while, so hopefully I’ll have time to make those modifications soon. Also, I will be working on my portfolio more, taking off older works and adding some newer ones. It needs re-structuring horribly, and hopefully Zooomr will be done with their move next week (so most of my images will start working again, LOL!). In the meantime I’m making short notes of what needs updating — while surfing the web looking for an appreciation gift for Jessie’s teacher. (funny there’s a whole slew of teacher gifts sites, or with teacher gift ideas in general)
Right now I’m wishing I hadn’t cleaned out the spams caught by Akismet because I ran across this nifty suggestion for handling splogs (spam blogs). Considering I get a ton of trackbacks from the same 8 or 10 or so, it won’t be long until I add a bit o’ code to the ole HTACCESS file to take care of ‘em!
Actually this site has BEEN mobile, but I think I’ve finally worked out all the kinks. With the help of Lester Chan’s WP-WAP, I’ve been able to create a browsable view for mobile devices:
Ok boys and girls, it’s meme-lub time! (Don’t ask … I’m hopped up on sweet tea and Halloween candy, LOLOLOL! )
I snagged this from my lovely sis-in-law, Christy:

Every time I’ve sat down to blog something’s come up or someone needed something from me. I actually sat down to blog last night but was distracted by a very delicious bowl of red beans and rice. (Hey, what can I say? When it comes to food, I’m easy. *shrug*)
I wanted to give a quick plug to my favorite biker geek who’s currently going through broken bike woes. Ben, I think I’m gonna join up one of those Blogathon thingies and name YOU as my cause!
I’ve run across a few goodies lately that I wanted to share with you guys … first and foremost is something I’ve been wanting myself: a way to paste to your cellphone from your pc. How cool is that!!?? Sort of related is this: Useful items you never knew you could print out. The big name thingy I had seen before but had lost the URL, so this is great because I had been wanting to find it again.
And last but not least a great WordPress article that I ran across — actually, this guy often has great WP-related tidbits, so you may want to bookmark his URI. It gives a great example of using WordPress as an online magazine.
I have a TON more open in my firefox session at home, but alas, I didn’t think to send it to myself here at work. Oh well, cest la vie and all that … I spent a little while last night helping a friend looking for some truck accessories that I had run across a while back. It was basically some tricked out Darth Vader looking stuff for a Ford Ranger — VERY wicked looking! Just wish I could remember where I saw it now. ;p
Speaking of Star Wars … my current ring tone is the Imperial March. Last weekend when I was at Jim’s mother’s house, my Helio rang and when it went off it (naturally) started playing. I didn’t hear it at first because I was in another room in the house. I heard Jim’s mother say, “What in the world is that?!”
LOL!
I explained to her what it was and the significance of the song. She tells me, “You’re so geeky, it’s cute even!”
RAWR!
