Time Out for a Small Update

Posted by Chief Oddball on Friday, March 31st, 2006 in Life, Randomness

Well, the “merge two websites” task at work turned into quite an affair; I think all involved (read: my bosses) are beginning to see that it is not a simple “Ah, throw it up there and it’ll be done in a week or so.” Especially since they all seem so hell-bent on nitpicking absolutely [...]

Life Is One Big Emergency

Posted by Chief Oddball on Tuesday, March 28th, 2006 in Life

I’m going to be a little scarce over the next week. Maybe two. Since the two entities I worked for (at my single “day job”) have combined, we need to combine their websites, both of which I built. This is a bigger task even than last October’s redesign just one of those [...]

I Hate Flash

Posted by Chief Oddball on Sunday, March 26th, 2006 in Rants

God, do I hate Flash. I’m talking about the web-based animation tool. You can create some pretty amazing stuff with it, that is provided you are equipped with superhuman levels of patience. My complaints about Flash have long been that it takes an inordinate amount of time and effort to accomplish absurdly [...]

Into Oblivion

Posted by Chief Oddball on Friday, March 24th, 2006 in Console, Games, Life

Another week passes with not a peep out of me. The big news this week is that my crew and I have finally wrapped up our foremost client website project. In the end I decided to take the content we’d already developed and wrap it around the WordPress engine. I wasn’t sure [...]

Slipping

Posted by Chief Oddball on Wednesday, March 15th, 2006 in Life

And another five days go by without an update on this site — what a slacker! Well, it’s been busy as usual. You were expecting some other excuse maybe? Anyway, here’s an update.
On Monday I attended the “community meeting” with the vice president of the homebuilder that assembled our humble abodes. [...]

Friday Evening Update

Posted by Chief Oddball on Friday, March 10th, 2006 in Life

Just finished working for the day. I revised the new homepage design I’ve been putting together all week for the company I work for. It’s going to be very attractive, I can tell you that much — a definite improvement over what we’ve got. This is the kind of stuff I enjoy [...]

Things Seen From the Road

Posted by Chief Oddball on Wednesday, March 8th, 2006 in Rants, Road Rage

I went to the bank just now to cash a check. Much to my surprise, traffic on Vanderbilt was actually very light. Then again, I did go at 11:00 in the morning — a very light time for traffic historically. The trip was not entirely without idiocy, though.
On the way home, myself [...]

A Busy Day, Indeed

Posted by Chief Oddball on Tuesday, March 7th, 2006 in Life, Randomness

I was kept busy all day with work items, not that that’s anything different from the usual operating procedure as of late. I was on PR duty today, distributing press releases, updating the website and soforth to coincide with a new product version announcement by our company today. This was a major milestone [...]

GTO Photo Shoot at Cleveland Clinic

Posted by Chief Oddball on Saturday, March 4th, 2006 in Cars, GTO, GarageBlog, Quick Takes

I went over to the Cleveland Clinic today to take some pictures of the GTO in their scenic parking lot. Check out the new gallery I’ve added right here.

Way to Neglect the Site, Bubba.

Posted by Chief Oddball on Friday, March 3rd, 2006 in Life, Randomness

So what has it been now…a month since I’ve posted? Almost, anyway…February 12th. Well, full month or not, I’d say that more than qualifies as a completely inexcusable neglection. Do I have a good excuse? Not really. I mean, I’ve been pretty busy, but I’ve also had some pockets of [...]
