Shadowtech-asp.net not searchable?

I just learned that most of my web site is not searchable. All this time. So noone ever saw my sample code? I wonder if it some setting.

Where did they go?

As mentioned before, I used to turn to articles in the MSDN magazine by authors I recognized. Most of the time that was about all I took away from the often heavy material. Only a few writers reappear any more. I collected the data of the website. About 70% of writers have only written one article over the last 10 years or so.

Where did all my "hero's" go? What are the up to know?

I admit I would like to etch my name on that wall, but not sure that will ever happen. I only read or listen to podcasts about the "bleeding" edge of technology.

Day of love

Well, kind of. I got some happy hearts from my niece. Spent some time with some friends. Cleaned the kitchen a bit. Started an evening walk but ran home because it started to rain a bit.

I was hoping it was not going to rain although I could smell that it already had or currently was somewhere nearby.

Started reading someone's blog. She is so much more entertaining than myself, but she writes extremely long paragraphs.

Historic day

Is not everyday somewhat historic?

I did not go into the District but I "ran" around most of the day. It was cold enough for me.

Well, I learned about the Ford carrier class among other things.

Cheers.

Mostly good day

Tried to make plans for a last minute road trip, but I am content to relax for the long weekend. Ran a few errands, watched some more old Knight Rider TV shows, went to Generous George's and watched a movie with people.

We had a pipe bust. Water was everywhere in the kitchen. I just shook my head: Another problem with the house. Another reason to move.

I will one day. Just too lazy I guess.

Why do I even try?

I slid down the stair case and spilled some food. Socks don't provide much traction.

Of course people were nice about it, but why do I even try to make a good impression. Nobody gives and rarely do misperceptions change.

I guess I do the same at times.

Today was good for the most part. Spent lunch and Happy Hour at Capitol Grill with coworkers. It was fun.

Space Buster!

Awesome! I love my iPod Touch.

While waiting for network access at my new job, I played these free games to help pass the time. I started playing again the other day. I only had a few levels left.

Not sure if it knew I almost won or if they pushed out new free levels, but they did and it has been fun.

I need a life. Lately I've spent a lot of time learning SharePoint - which is arguably work related.

More on today

Spent lunch with a guy friend. It was fun to swap stories.

Learned that Tim Burton is directing a future Pixar film. Well, it's not for the next one called Up.

Went on a long walk while ever listening to information.

Day in review

I think I found a competitor to my favorite Italian restaurant. I usually order lasagna, my favorite. At Otavio's in Provo Utah and some place north of there now - did you know there is a Provo golf course on some island north of Hatti? Found it on this web cam iPhone app...

Anyway, you get a big plate of that yummy stuff. Other places you get a small cube or it is just not as good tasting for some reason.

Aside from the food and good conversation, tonight's date was pretty week. I guess it maters little. My best date ever went now where too. Too? So positive!

I know.

Crazy morning

Yesterday, I left my room earlier than usual. I was finishing up on the Pixar Touch book. Tried to pause the book when a roommate trued to talk to me but the iPod Touch wasn’t responding!

Like my phone, once I plugged it in to charge, it came back to life. It’s like one of those defibrillators I guess.

On the metro, I had to literally squeeze the crowd in so I could get in to the over crowded car. I guess I did not have to, but I did it for fun. At my stop, apparently something was happening… people were all looking at something and I watched one guy run to get a metro employee. I paid little attention and walked away.

I like the Pixar book. I’m going to listen to Disney War again.

Since I failed to put the Christmas books on my toy, I started the Street Lawyer. I'm halfway done. I like the story for the most part.

Good start and finish

Was up early and ready for Church at 8am. Talked with old and new friends. It was all good.

More or less waited around the rest of the day. Ate, played with new aps on Touchy, got home taught, talked to my mom, watched a dumb movie, and searched for a ride to a party.

Finally, the ride came! The party was fun.

Christmas flight canceled

OK, not really, but it was an option. It would have required I throw money away for nothing. Why do they charge to cancel flights anyway? Anything to take your money i guess.

Should have called the post "Why I hate flying cross country, especially for Christmas.". I hate looking for deals. I hate "throwing away" countless hundreds. This time I also used a bunch of SkyMiles to bring the cost down a bit. I hate "throwing away" more when I mess up the itinerary with everyone else's schedule.

And for what? I can imagine many of the senses that will take place before they happen. So, for a warm meal, a place to stay and to be around people I love and presume the same.

Well, the money is gone. Now I need to work up the desire to get on the plane. I hate being packed in like a sardine. I hate those dang screaming kids... etc. I'm packing my good headphones and a book on my toy.

Random updates

Had a great Thanksgiving dinner. Went to Maryland to visit an old friend, his attractive wife and great cook, and their two boys. We actually went from their place to a member of their ward's house to join others for a giant dinner. After eating we played some games like catch phrase.

My boss told me to take today off because I have not gotten a computer assigned to me and I have been reading up on some work related stuff. He agreed this could be done from home.

Slept in until 9:20! I guess I had to make up for "lost time" earlier this week.

Going to watch a movie later. Watched Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving DVD because it is tradition.

Bought my ticket to Utah for Christmas. Looking forward to see my nieces. Two more on the way!

Permission to speak freely

I recall one network admin that was very good at his job. So good that after he was let go for some reason, they hired some security expect to test the network. I don't think they found anything.

I recall being pretty offended by the search, but when i talked to the former co-worker he said he was glad. He knew they would find the network in tip-top shape.

At another job, there was a network admin who had all these back doors to the system and used them after he got let go. I thought it was kind of funny at the time. I worked for con artists and they didn't do anything about the security holes. It was not long after that the dot-com bubble burst...

Kite runner book

I was told it was a kids book. I'm not sure it is appropriate for kids. It's easy to judge when you can emotionally detach oneself from the story. Trying a new book. So far, this Orson Scott Card book seems kind of lame.

I need a good laugh. I'm going to listen to the Windows Weekly podcast. It's cold out so I did not tre4k out to the annual Turkey Bowl. I'd have to trek out of there to get to a play at 2:30.

I then would like to see BYU loose to U of U. There are a couple of places I can go, just haven't decided where yet.

Getting set up

I kind of feel like it right now. Why? Past experiences? One goal from working on a contract was to fortify myself somewhat when the world decides to screw me like in troubled financial times like these.

At another job, I had few reasons I wanted to stay at the place. One was the comardary until one day I was told that I would stap work to join the guys at lunch. I got into the habbit of taking an early lunch! I guess I don't need to do that anymore.

Weeks later, I was told by the same that we should go to lunch. Of course I agrreed but I wasn't dumb enough to step in that nor did I feel it was my obligation to publish the interface to get me to go to lunch again.

Who's complaining?

Granted, the truth hurts. I only explained what to expect. Throwing resources at a problem doesn't fix it unless you know what the problem is.

Trying to sell some stuff on Craig's list. This time I had pictures and am getting several responses.

Another cold one. Might go to the Library with Touchy seeing how I could get on a couple wireless networks yesterday. Probably not the most secure thing to do.

Had a very little b-day party at the house. Tonight i shall venture out to see this DVD a friend produced for the Church.

Where did the glasses go?

A nice 32 degrees outside this morning. Wish I could start my new job early. It is cold in this house. Fortunately, i have a personal heater and I have places to go, people to see, etc.

So, I bought a set of 12 glass glasses when I moved in. Now, there is only 1? About a month ago, I counted 6.

Well, I need to clean my room. I feel I'm always cleaning... Got to get rid of some stuff. But what?

Oh nuts, Redskins lost

I was hoping they would beet the Cowboys. Just because. Glad I didn't bet on that.

Went to a Horse race the other day. I never went to one before. It was kind of intense on how much data there is to analyze to make an educated bet. So, needless to say, I just bet on what a friend bet on. Oh well, I figure I have spent $10 total on gambling stuff(Slots, horse race, scratch and win.)

I want to try roulette one day. I don't think I have patients for power ball. I'd buy a ticket, but I don't see myself checking if my numbers won.

How high or what for?

I stopped by to talk to an old co-worker.It was fun to catch up. We talked about Lucky and times past. I told him that one of many things I liked when I worked with him was the database. It was very well planned out.

Probably going to see the new Bond movie this afternoon. I don't think it will be worth full price. Well, no show really is. :)

I tried to meet up with another friend, but she didn't answer her phone. Nor could I recall what building she was in. Oh well, she texted me close to mid-night last night!
