9:19:35 PM   Anne Heche on Ally, she was a character who was "this crazy chick who runs over her boyfriend with a truck."

9:15:57 PM   Do you remember Anne Heche's character on Ally ? Sure wish I could remember the character's name.  If we could just plant her in the court room when Mr. Gates was spinning today.  She'd be spewing in her very unique Tourette's fashion, POOOOOP, POOOP !!!  she was just awesome as each time someone uttered an untruth her Tourette's side just took over. Here on kRadio, we call it krap.

11:45:43 AM   Patriots Send Bledsoe To Bills for No. 1 Pick  [washingtonpost.com]   //  Bills get Bledsoe, we get Chris Chandler, Jim Miller and the worst of it, Jerry Angelo :-(

11:43:56 AM   Templates tinkering slowed drastically by a need for version control for these templates.  Started out doing the management version control thing (just rename the version and dump it in an archive) then decided life is too short to do this.  Needed full source control of some sort. Picked CVS and stumbled around downloading the source before landing here and getting what I really needed.  Got help along the way from here and here with the latter getting me started and the former when I actually got it running.  All the stuff says use it on a Windows machine while serving it from a Linux machine.  My Linux machine and my Windowze machine are one and the same :-(  Most everything says don't try and do it all on the Windowze machine but I will soldier on as the extra cash flow for an extra Linux machine is kind of non-exisitent. So, it is up and running but my first elements are getting stored in a strange fashion buried a few more layers down than I expected.  Need to tinker some more today at some point.  Oh and what I wouldn't give for Clearcase right about now.  The terminology used here is strange too.  These all do the same stuff but man figuring out the commands is fun.
