I wasn't incredibly upset today when it started pouring, as it gave me a guilt free opportunity to stay inside and work on some different stuff.

To talk "Geek" for a brief second:
I got a good amount of work done on my Blog section. I am not sure how it will look tomorrow on Internet Explorer, but I am happy with the Firefox results. I have thus far incorporated "search by tag" functionality but still need to work on a few additional blog search queries. I haven't done much with formatting the layout of the blog entries, nor is there currently any opportunity for users to add comments. I expect to work on those features in the very near future. Worthy to note, one hassle was the fact that my old DB was using mySQL 4.0 and some of my searching requires sub queries (available in version 4.1+, I eventually learned). Luckily, godaddy.com offers the option to set up new databases using version 4.1 or 5, so all I needed to do was create a DB and import the existing data. This thankfully went off smoothly.

Ok, done with that. I don't have a ton else for ya. I do have one comment for everyone out there: It's usually not a good idea to blind speakerphone a person. I got blind speakerphoned today, and it may or may not have lead to some embarrassment for people in the car. In this case, no harm was caused to myself, and likely none to those involved; but the potential definitely does exist for a scenario to arise where either the caller and/or listeners get a little dose of embarrassment when something is said that wouldn't be appropriate for the audience within listening distance.

Take that tip to the bank and save it with the rest, because I am full of good ideas today :-)

If I don't have a chance to tell you later on, enjoy Sopranos tonight!
