Oh yes. I do love computers

Really. It's the sick kind of stalking love, though. I just can't keep my hands or my mind off them. And it doesn't matter how shabbily they treat me. Nope, I love them. I sure wish I could get Visual Basic to talk to dBase III dbf files. Then I would live them even more.

Today, I was watching one of our young stars in admin doing data entry in a clipper window. FAST. She would get one screen completed and move to the next before I could tell what she had typed. That means the system rewrite will not use a web interface. It would slow her down by half. Nope. As much as I would liked to use a web interface, I think I'll be writing clients to talk to my database.

It's not a bad model. I can still use tcp/ip connections to the server rather than using Microsofts' networking. With luck, I'll be able to port the damn software to run on linux, windows and mac. I'm not looking forward to constructing the guis. I might farm that stuff out.

Friday the 13th

ITS COMING and I'm going to RHPS (not that that is unusual) to celebrate the rare event. We have had two weeks of low audience numbers, but I think it was because folks are saving up for this weekend and for Halloween.

Rocky. Rocky, Rah, Rah, Rah.

National Coming Out Day

Yep. October 11 is National Coming Out Day. It was created by the Human Rights Campaign as a fund-raising gimmick they tied into the March on Washington.

Now that HRC recognizes the existence of bisexuals, I'll help promote them by spreading the word. :)

Damn, I'm tired

I'm really tired lately. I mean foot-dragging, tongue-lagging, brain-mush tired. I still haven't fully recovered from my oral surgery either. And I have to get my eyes checked again. There is no "right distance" from my computer monitor.

Tired. Tired. Going to bed. MUST get a lot done tomorrow. Must.
