Horoscopes
9 December 2009
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The evidence is incontrovertible: You have definitely acquired more power in 2009. Whether that means you are now sitting in a corner office bossing around a gaggle of subordinates, I don’t know. What I do know is that you are in greater charge of your own destiny. You know yourself much better, and are smarter about providing yourself with what you need, when you need it. You have gained access to enormous new reserves of willpower, in part by harnessing the energy of your obsessive tendencies. Blind fate just doesn’t have the same control over your life as it used to. More than ever before, you’re making decisions based on what’s really good for you rather than on your unconscious compulsions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Scientists say that pretty much everywhere you go on this planet, you are always within three feet of a spider. That will be an especially useful and colorful truth for you to keep in mind during 2010. Hopefully it’ll inspire you to take maximum advantage of your own spider-like potentials. It’s going to be web-spinning time, Taurus: an excellent phase in your long-term life cycle to weave an extended network — with you at the hub — that will help you catch an abundance of the resources you need.

Holy wow, someone gets it.
Horoscope for 2 Dec 2009:
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Dear Rob: Last night my son and I were star- gazing. When we focused on the constellation Cassiopeia, an owl started hooting. Then a brilliant shooting star zipped by as a huge bat flew right over our heads. Was this a bad omen? Bats are creepy — associated with vampires. And in Greek mythology Cassiopeia got divine punishment because she bragged that she and her daughter were more beautiful than the sea god’s daughters. But I don’t know, maybe this blast of odd events was a good omen. Owls are symbols of wisdom and shooting stars are lucky, right? What do you think? Are we blessed or cursed? -Spooked Taurus.” Dear Spooked: The question of whether it’s good or bad luck is irrelevant. Here’s what’s important: You Tauruses are in a phase when the hidden workings of things will be shown to you — the mysterious magic that’s always bubbling below the surface but that is usually not visible.
First revision of the cover for the Todd stories is AWESOME. I shall nibble on my fingernails during its resizing.
Thoughts From the Day Job
This is what a Systems Administrator is. This is what a Web Designer is. Just sayin’.
Already excited about this year’s PenguiCon. It probably doesn’t hurt that Nikki’s presenting at Convocation this year. I’m getting a contact convention buzz!
Thoughts From the Day Job
Entry-by-entry data verification and updating on a 4,000+ entry MySQL table appeals to my anal retentive nature.
phpmyadmin’s search feature, coupled with its ability to edit multiple rows at once, has sped up my task incredibly.
Lunchtime at McD’s in Potterville shows a horrifying number of High School Students. Why aren’t they at the diner downtown?
Oregon, why do your town names make me fear you?
Thoughts from Work
I’m feeling ganged up upon by PHP and MySQL. I’m THIS close to de-friending them on LJ and Facebook. Take that!

Hard to write on your lunch break when you leave your laptop at home, take a pen and notebook, and then drop the pen between the wall and the booth. Yeah, that one’s gone. *headdesk*

Why do half of Facebook Notes lose formatting when viewed through the RSS feed? Not liking the wall ‘o text.
Horoscope
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your story is taking a hotter and wetter and more cosmically comical turn. The splendor and the rot are all mixed up. The line between your strengths and liabilities are hair thin. But have no fear. One of your dormant talents will activate in the nick of time. Your wild guesses will shed bright light whenever the darkness creeps in. And you’ll have even more emotional intelligence than usual. P.S. If your psyche tingles like a funny bone that has been tapped, it means that unanticipated help or useful information will arrive within 12 hours.
