* I get to spend the weekend in Chicago. Not to visit with relatives or for a well earned (at least in my mind) vacation. I get to spend the next two days performing a mock disaster recovery. There is a group of about eight of us headed up there to restore all of our systems on backup hardware and then bring up the corporate network on the new hardware, test everything and then swing it all back. Sure looks to be a fun weekend….
* Have you ever been digging around through your old music collection, and grabbed a handful of songs that you haven’t listened to in years? Maybe you recorded a bunch of them to tape or nowadays to cd so that you could listen to them while travelling? Then once you’re actually listening to the songs, you get so wrapped up in a particular set of lyrics that you find yourself smiling, gazing out the window and perhaps even singing out loud? FYI… This is frowned upon on public transportation. (Not that this happened to me, It almost happened, but I caught myself right before I began singing)

Hey! Where did you go? It is almost November? Did you get stuck in Chicago or something? I have tried four different websites in the time you have been gone! Posted Sat Oct 25 04:16:00 CDT 2003

* We have a veritable plethora of updates this morning! Let’s start with some of the comments from the previous entry. First, I have enlarged the comment box a little bit to accommodate Christopher and Paul. (although if you need more space to vent, may I suggest placing a link in the comments to your own webspace where you are free to post as much or as little as you wish) I have momentarily fixed the rss feed so that it once again validates. I really need to re-work the process that creates the feed, since I keep having to go back and fix the feed manually from time to time.
This past weekend, Logan and I went on our annual canoe trip. Although this is an annual trip, we missed last year. This year we went to Gasconade Hills to camp and canoe the Gasconade river. I think that this was our best trip so far. The river was quite low at points and we had to carry the canoe at various spots. We were pleased to be able to see several blue herons along the way. The wingspan on these birds was enormous, easily spanning nine+ feet. The night before, we marveled at the fantastic star viewing that was possible with the sparce light pollution. The Milky Way itself was evident as were a few shooting stars and ::ahem:: billions and billions of stars. Rather overwhelming, actually. We are now totally psyched for Astronomy lessons this year in school.
How about a Body for Life update? It has been a while and there are only a couple of weeks left until the challenge itself is over. I have not given up, and I continue to train, although two weeks ago I had a major setback in the form of a sprained lower back. That put me out of commission (at least for training) for the better part of ten to twelve days. I am resolved to finishing the challenge, and most likely continuing on with the program (albeit modified to suit my needs a bit more) for a long time to come.

Hmmm. Is that photo in the upper right hand corner a snap shot of you after you opened up your site and saw all the �comments� about your new layout? You know, if there would have been no comments at all then that could of meant two things: either 1) everyone was happy with the new layout or 2) no one was looking at your site. As for the suggestion of posting links to ones own site if there is not enough room to post on your site � is that directed towards me? You know you have posted one too many comments on someone site when your own total amount of text is equal to or greater then the actual text in the site itself. Posted Wed Aug 20 23:40:02 CDT 2003

* Yes, once again I have re-worked the layout of the site. After all it has been what? at least four or five months since the last re-design. Did you think I was just going to let you get all comfortable-like looking at the same old layout??? Hah! not me, buddy. Gotta shake things up every once in a while, you know! That being said, whatcha’ think? (be nice, boys and girls!) Constructive criticism is always welcome!

Your RSS feed has gone a little goofy, though. http://feeds.archive.org/validator/check?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xionic.net%2F%7Ejkp%2Findex.xmlPosted Sat Aug 16 11:08:04 CDT 2003

Oh, sorry. That was suposed to be ‘ramblings’Posted Fri Aug 15 20:02:21 CDT 2003

I have to second the complaint about your comment input box not being wide enough. Then again, I have yet to find a comment input box that is wide enough for all of my remblings..Posted Thu Aug 14 00:26:56 CDT 2003

The thing that bothers me most about your new design is the white #, It drives me crazy because my background default is set to a gray color. So it stands out. and you comment input box isn’t wide enough. Otherwise great design.Posted Wed Aug 13 08:15:24 CDT 2003

Sorry, not yet. I haven’t implemented any sorting routines, although it is a possibility for the future.Posted Tue Aug 12 20:30:54 CDT 2003
