Miscellaneous and unfinished

Baseball season has started, and in true Red Sox style, we lost our opening game to Tampa Bay and proceeded to struggle through our second game, barely squeaking out with a win in the sixteenth inning. Again, true to our history, we got a new General Manager (the youngest in MLB history), a great statistician, a whole new outlook on things, got our hopes up, and bam: take a loss to what is supposed to be one of the worst teams in the league. Then, Jeter separates his shoulder! I mean, we're Red Sox fans! What are we supposed to do? Send him a get well card? And so we seal our fate, sending not only ourselves, but our team straight to hell by secretly cheering the Yankees' loss. Someone out there, maybe even The Babe himself hates us, and he's setting us up to not only be bad, but to have bad karma. Sheesh... Well, the Patriots did it once, maybe we should start looking forward to football season again... Not like the Bruins or the Celtics are going to help us out any...

In other news, more and more cool people have been visiting my site. I've quietly been adding them to my bookmarks (yeah, I'm old fashioned... no blogroll, just bookmarks). Look for me to share some links soon.

I've been working on some other projects. Hopefully I'll be able to share some more info soon, but that's based on whether or not I get any more work done on them. In any case, here's a tip: DO NOT ever forget the style rule clear:both/left/right. It is your friend. Love it, use it, and keep it with you always. Twice now it has solved sticky problems I couldn't figure out.

Yesterday was April 1st, otherwise known as April Fool's Day. Needless to say, I got had. My buddy Dave and my host Ron convinced me that something I had done to the server was causing it to crash and that my account was going to have to be suspended until we figured it out. They had me going for about ten or fifteen minutes. Dave finally told me. To make it worse, on my way home the local radio station announced that the Famed Buddy Cianci, Providence's former and currently incarcerated mayor had been parolled. I believed them too... They had this "interview" with him that was made with bits from old tapes. They announced the story a few days earlier to set it up. Man. What bastards...
