Joe's New Blog

Nothing special, this is just my third effort at writing a blog about my life and what goes on in it: Hobbies, cooking, work, maybe the occasional book or DVD review, and so forth. Nothing really noteworthy, but this is sort of a little subset of my world...

I'm sitting here watching the Stars playing the Kings on the tube. The Stars had a nice 3-point lead with about four minutes left in the second period, but the Kings just scored two goals in the span of 33 seconds, turning it back into something of a nailbiter. Well, they have managed to get a goal back while I was writing that, so at least they'll have a 2-goal lead going into the third period. If they manage to hold on and win, they can jump two teams and lodge themselves into the final playoff spot, at least for the one night until they play Anaheim. And the Ducks are one of the two teams they'll hop over if they win, so beating them tomorrow would really help out the cause, giving them a little bit of a pad over at least the Ducks. We'll just have to see how it all shakes out, though...

I stayed at work a little later than usual, trying to work on an SQL view that I'm going to be using a whole lot, as long as I manage to keep my job after the next week. I didn't really get a huge amount of work done on the gas cards database, although I did at least get some done on documenting the contracts. Mostly I just screwed off, though, unfortunately. And then I forgot about going to get my car inspected until the girlfriend called me about 40 minutes after I got home. By that time, I was already cooking myself a snack and didn't really feel like getting out into the world. I guess I'll see if I can get the inspection done Saturday, and I'll just hope I don't get pulled over before that.

I've been pretty much just screwing off at the computer since I got home, too. I haven't even fired up any of the work projects, like I should, and I really hope I'll be able to get some kind of basic webpage up and running tomorrow so I can put it up on the server for the boss to look at over the weekend. I like the idea I have of making the primary interface a list view, with a change button to allow the user to do any available modifications to the card in question. That will make it a lot easier both on me and on the person using the system. And, with any luck, I'll be able to get it up and running incredibly quickly. We'll have to see, though...

For now, the third period is back on, and I don't really feel like doing much work this evening, so I'll vegetate through the rest of the game and then head off to bed...
