It's Official: we vote on Nov. 27th

That's 36 days from now. That's great, I only have to listen to political bullshit for a month or so...

There's a difference between the US and Canada. In the US, practically 30% of a term is spent campaigning... and it goes on and on and on and on on CNN. Here, we hear what they have to say, vote... or not, and get on with the hockey season like nothing happened. :-)

I submitted a bug to Bugzilla today. Mozilla only works on the primary monitor in Windows 2000 -- browser windows on secondary monitors are totally non-functional except for the window frame. :-( (I have two monitors attached to my machine) Okay here's another bug... it's not sending CRLF for line endings in TEXTAREA boxes. Grrrr... probably just LF.

Roy arrested, released on bail

Okay that's too weird. He beats Sawchuk's wins-record and now this? Doesn't make sense. Sigh.

Teens: Before Their Time -- "With budding breasts and pubic hair, U.S. girls are developing earlier than ever. What's causing it? And what are the psychological effects?"

I'm sure there's something in the environment causing this. Maybe its the unnatural foods we eat (all the meat is pumped with hormones and other chemicals, just for starters), or in the air or water.

As a father of a young daughter, I find this very interesting. I hope this turns out to be as simple as starting puberty early, instead of signs of something actually very bad in the future.

IMDB: Being John Malkovich (1999)

Saw it tonight. What a strange, strange flick. I wouldn't see it again, not because it's bad, but it's too draining.

If you like strange, unique movies that twist your brain up, see Being John Malkovich.

BTW, I thought the many-Malovichs scene was total bull... there should have been a stack overflow. ;-)

It's DONE!

And thus ends at least 20 straight days of work, where I put in over 200 hours. Probably closer to 250 hours, +/- 20.

No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I'm completely burned out.

I have a friend who has a dream to leave his abusive job and do what he does self-employed.

He's really good at what he does and his clients have said they'd follow him whereever he went.

In my opinion, he has everything he needs to start (not just skills but other things like connections, etc), but he's apprehensive. Confidence, fear, timing, i don't know what it is. He really wants to do it but needs a kick in the pants.

If you've been down that road, and it worked for you, please, let him know how it went, if you'd do it again, what to do and not do it, what to look out for, etc. Or e-mail me, and I'll forward your message to him.

(By the way, he's agreed to this being posted here, he's not uncomfortable with it, he's looking forward to the response)

Thanks!
