Critter’s Krib

not a damn thing, unfortunately. I am too knackered. I’ll catch you up on stuff tomorrow. I promise (maybe)

I have only just flipped the channel to CNN, which is airing the Anna Nicole hearing about where her body is to be buried. The judge on the bench keeps making jokes, and makes really unnecessary comments. He is not professional at all. I read somewhere that the judge is looking to get a TV gig, which honestly wouldn’t surprise me based on his actions.

And as a non-biased person, I really do not believe the mother’s testimony. She seems phony to me.

You may all go on about your business now.

Mexican Court — “Dog” Must Stand Trial

TMZ.com: Duane “Dog” Chapman, star of A&E’s “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” may have to return to Mexico to stand trial for deprivation of liberty, reports the AP, after a Mexican court ruled today that he should be extradited. The charge stems from Chapman’s… Read more 

What a joke. The man helps bring to justice a rapist and he’s penalized for it. shame on them.

Valentine’s Day is such crap.

 

Seriously. If you stay up all hours of the night and flip the channels, you will be exposed to all sorts of cool things that you don’t need simply must have! I only mention this because I seem to be up very early (2-3am) each day feeding Phoenix. Occasionally, I will go back to sleep, but most times I fire up the laptop and flip the channels on the television. I would probably buy more senseless items off the television if the boxes didn’t arrive with “LOSER
JUST BOUGHT THIS OFF THE TV” in big bold lettering on all the packages. OK, maybe it doesn’t say exactly that, but it’s usually plastered with “AB Blaster” (guilty) or “6-Second Abs”, etc.. Some discretion would be nice, people!

Just a note, in case you were interested. You can get the Rocket Fishing Rod (which by the way looks cool as hell) at the dirty Walmart off of Kildaire Farm Rd in Crescent Commons.

So what’s new? Not too much, I don’t think. One day pretty much feels the same as the rest
and they all blend together. I’ve been nose down coding and getting more familiar with Adobe’s Flex 2. I am re-writing the application I have for Talon’s Colors in it. It’s not that difficult to learn, but there have been a few stumbling blocks that give my brain a bit of a go.

Speaking of Talon’s Colors. He’s been having a bit of a rough time at school. His biggest problem is his mouth (Apple meet tree, don’t fall far!). I’m not that bothered by the occasional yellow or blue card, but it has pretty much become a daily thing. He speaks out of turn constantly and makes comments on conversations that he is not a part of. We are working on breaking him of the habit, but it hasn’t quite caught on yet.

Right this minute I can hear Phoenix pushing like mad over the baby monitor. I still don’t get it. You would think he hasn’t pooped in days the way he is in there grunting. He seriously sounds like he is going to invert is colon.

Later that morning…

Well, it is time I should get started on my day. I have an hour or so before I run Talon to school, and still a cup of coffee to make and suck down (yeah, Tassimo!).

There are a few new pics of the family up at my Flickr account. n-joy.

I was just accepted into the beta for Med.ium. It runs as a plugin for Firefox and so far seems pretty interesting.

Here are a few things from the FAQ:

What is Me.dium?

Me.dium is a window that reveals the hidden world of people and activity behind your browser. Through Me.dium, you can see your online world for the first time.

Why are all those websites floating around me?

All the websites that you see in the map are other sites that Me.dium is recommending for you based on what you are currently doing. Me.dium bases those recommendations on how your activity relates to the activity of other people using Me.dium.

Where did all these people come from?

All the people you see through Me.dium on the other websites are other Me.dium users. Although you may not know all of them, you can see them because their activity is in some way related to yours.

Can I talk to all those other people?

Yes, Me.dium provides two ways to talk to the other people. If they are people that you don’t know, you can post a message on the “Live” tab and anyone currently represented on your online world can see the message and reply. If they are in your Friend list, then clicking their name opens up a private chat window.

If I go to a different website, will I lose all the people I was chatting with?

Every time you change sites to a non-related site, you will see a new group of people based on your new activity. If you have started a chat with someone already, or have joined a chat in the Live Tab, those chats will be maintained and can be continued wherever you are on the web.

Can people I don’t know chat with me?

Yes, but not directly. Me.dium allows for strangers to communicate with each other via the Live tab. All users can start or join a conversation in Live. Users who choose to remain anonymous have their name displayed as a number instead of using their username.

You can turn it off at the click of a button so that ‘the others’ cannot see what sites you are on or visiting. It also shuts itself off on known personal sites, such as Gmail or Hotmail, etc..

*shrug* We’ll see how it goes. I’m not all that big into ‘chatting’ online with people, but it is still a very interesting concept.

If you are interested and cannot get in, leave a comment and I’ll send you an invite.

Was a freaking blast!

OK, parents, this product is for your children, not you. You may purchase this, but like I said. It is for your children. I had better not hear of you playing in the goo!

You may now proceed to this website and make a purchase. Careful the site plays video automatically. Or you can proceed to this site and purchase a ton of the stuff in a more generic form.

Have fun.
