Today’s been a wet, bleak day. I’m mostly inside at the moment anyway, courtesy the pollenpocalypse, but it feels wrong not to do anything outside on a weekend. Weather that’s a big bundle of nope doesn’t help. I thought slipper and sweater weather was gone for the season, but apparently not so much. So, in Read More…

Quasi Midlife Crisis aka The Demon Cabelas
Normal people having a midlife crisis buy expensive cars. We buy weapons. The Husband and I have been considering getting bows for a while now and using part of our 3/4 acre yard as a target range. Today, we got a step closer: we went to Cabelas (which is a demonic entity designed to separate Read More…
The Day After The Day
You guessed it – more chaos today. I did manage to work out that one of the problems is that while our customers, the customer support people, and my team are all using the same words, we’re not using them to mean the same thing. This means we’re often needing several go-arounds to work out Read More…
Well. That was fun.
For meanings of fun that include spending the day in hyper-mode, trying to reproduce problems customers report, trying to find tactful ways to report back that a problem is user error, figuring out which problems are real bugs and which ones are user error, then trying to work out just how much hand-holding we want Read More…
Out Of Spoons
My current status is “all out of spoons: do not make me brain”. The big release tomorrow at oh god am is throwing last minute spanners into the works, all of which need to be worked out one way or another before we push the thing live. And of course, we’re discovering all manner of Read More…
Of Feral Jobs
The day job is going kind of crazy right now. We’ve got a major deployment Thursday, so all the pieces are being checked, double-checked, triple-checked, and so forth. This, of course, is also when those last minute bugs make themselves known just so we can all have some fun deciding if they’re critical enough to Read More…
Renovations Day 3
I’m still searching for a plugin that will automagically post to Facebook and other social media thingamajigs for me because I’m lazy and want to set it up once then let it do its thing forevermore. In the meantime the plugin that used to do that once upon an eternity ago is disabled because it Read More…
Renovations in Progress
And by that I mean renovations to the site. I can’t believe I neglected things for this long… Actually? Yes, I can. Because I am lazy and blogging isn’t something that comes naturally to me. Go figure. Anyway, the to-do list is currently rather long: Find a suitable replacement for the default header image. The Read More…
Things I did on my Vacation – Day 2
And it came to pass that, though wearied by the epic battle with the Dustbunnies of Unusual Size, the fair Lady Kate was determined to defeat the evils that lurked in the Bathrooms Where Angels Fear To Tread (one of them demons fear to tread, too). Thus, she armed herself with the Cleaners of Righteousness Read More…
Things I did on my Vacation – Day 1
The day dawned bright (actually it didn’t, it dawned bleak, wet, gray, and cold, but let’s go with this for the purposes of narrative, shall we?) and the Fair Lady Kate did spring forth (yeah, like heck she did) and gird her loins for the dread battle to come. No ordinary battle, this: the Fair Read More…
