Honk if you're annoying

The guy in front of me keeps honking...and he's not in a car, he's sitting in the train seat in front of me. I don't know if he has a sinus problem or he thinks he's the Road Runner, but he's honking. Maybe he's a goose disguised as an annoying person.

I'm just sitting here, synchroni*HONK*ng my laptop with my *HONK* USB key and bloody hell that's completely unnecessary.

Not really all that much to say today. I've been running test scripts on a data warehouse I've been building at work, and each test takes about half an hour to run, which has given me some time to rework some of the *HONK* site. I'll most likely be cutting out a lot of the site that is no longer relevant...like the network section. I've sold, or given away lot of the stuff listed as part of my network, not to mention the parts that I've anonymously donated to the scrappers in various neighbourhoods. I think the last time i updated the network section was in 2003...maybe sometime in 2004...so it's just a wee out of date. The RPG section never really had anything in it at all, so that's no big loss. *HONK* The workshop section will still exist in one form or another, although it may disappear for a while until it get resurrected. Maybe it'll just be merged into the main site...i dunno yet.

Sure are a lot of ugly people in the neighbourhood. OH! There goes one!

Any suggestions for improvements to the site will be greatly welcomed. Please be aware that i know my spelling is horrid, so that doesn't *HONK* count.

End trans*HONK*mission...

Welcome to Homestead Bubbledom

After a brief hiatus (which basically means being too lazy to do shit) I'm back. And holy crap is this train track bumpy! Posting from the train now, pretty much the only time i have to post anything, and with my new bite size laptop i can. So let's get to it! Now if only the guy beside me would stop picking his nose.

We've moved the Bubbledom over a bit, south west of where we were, from the confines of the apartment over to Homestead Bubbledom. Yes, that's what I'm naming it. Although we're still renting we now have a yard for the youngins and a garden, a driveway, a basement, and even heat (yes, heat, which was lacking in our apartment...possibly more on that later). We've been at the new place for a couple weeks now, we're still unpacking and getting things setup and organized of course. The cats love the extra space, and the stairs. Maybe Raven will finally lose that gut.

So far we've got the bedrooms almost completely set up, just need a bed for Peanut to finish their room i think. Our room i think is setup, just needs some more organization....or me to put my clothes away. Wickets room is still a crazy place, and needs a door knob as the last one was shot.

So, the basement toilet blew the seal, we replaced the upstairs toilet with a new dual flush (and a proper wax seal), cleaned out the shed, replaced the crazy 3 headed homebrew showerhead in the upstairs shower, cleaned up the backyard a bit, removed the frozen uncooked hamburgers from the BBQ....not sure how long they've been sitting there, and threw out tons of garbage that had accumulated from the previous tenants who basically were slobs who did nothing.

I now have what my wife calls a 'man cave' in the basement. It has the computers, some shelving, and the fish tanks. Right now there's mostly just bits of shelving and boxes everywhere. The fish tanks are on their shelf, they still need more attention though. I'll be building a small aquaponics system there too, so keep an eye out for that.

That's about it for now....this site needs an overhaul....it's on the list.
