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...

So I demoed the contracts database this morning, and wound up with something like seven or eight errors that happened. That's not good, but at least I wasn't showing it to upper management or anything like that. Most of the errors were pretty easily fixed, or at least pretty easily worked around. I think most of them are already dealt with, and I have an idea for at least one other thing to add which will make life a lot easier for Deana. And, since she's the one who's really going to be using the beastie, making life easier on her is a good thing. Happy customers give good reviews, and that's what we want.

I stopped at the bank and deposited my cash today, and it doesn't look like the rent check has been deposited yet. Of course, at this point, the deposit still shows as pending, so it's very likely that the check will show up a the same time as far as the bank's concerned, and they'll ding me with some kind of fee. I guess I'll check it again tomorrow and find out.

In addition to doing a bunch of work on the database today, I also wrote a little essay about Roman gladiatorial combat. I noticed on my little visitor log that a lot of people were looking for information about what the thumbs up or thumbs down gestures meant in gladiatorial combat, so I figured I'd write up some of the information that I've heard over the past few years on the History Channel and similar places. We'll see if that starts getting any hits at all.

I've been mostly taking it easy this evening. I tweaked out my neck when I lay down on the bed after getting home this evening. Hopefully it won't be one of those things that keeps on dragging on for days, but I have the feeling it might. So, I've just mostly been sitting around here staring at the computer screen and watching some hockey. Right now, I'm watching the Stars and the Sharks, which has been a pretty decent game. And, whenever it's over, I guess I'll toddle my little self off to bed. Start the whole damned mess all over again tomorrow...
