  3. Footnotes

    When I write blog entries, I find myself adding lots of information inline in parentheses and I think it makes reading the content more difficult. However, I still want to be able to add the ancillary information to help explain things that might need some background. I’ve noticed that people like Charles Miller use footnotes…

  5. The Service Bell Debacle

    On a tip from another Aussie owner, we put a service bell by each door and were teaching Noonan to ring the bell when she needed to go outside. This went pretty well the first couple weeks, then she decided that the bells were great toys. Instead of leaving them by the door, she carried…

  6. Thanksgiving Chuckles, part 2

    A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird’s mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird’s attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and…

  7. Thanksgiving Chuckles, part 1

    An elderly man in Phoenix calls his son in New York and says, “I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.” “Pop, what are you talking about,” the son screams. “We can’t stand the sight of each other…

  8. Puppy Update

    Noonan got her last shots today, we can now take her to the dog park, etc. Very cool. 🙂 The vet says that most dogs will grow to be twice the weight they are at 16 weeks. A mini-Aussie is normally between 15-25 pounds fully grown, but our pup was 14.4 pounds today (at 16…

  9. Announcing Tasks Jr.

    In an effort to make the different versions of Tasks a little easier to understand, I’m renaming tasks 1.x to Tasks Jr. I decided not to use ‘Tasks Lite’ because this isn’t a case where I’ve removed functionality; it’s really the younger version of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks. I’ve got a pre-release of Tasks Jr.…

    I’ve released Tasks Pro™ 1.5 beta 5. This fixes a few bugs and cleans up some code. I also added the Favorite checkbox to the mobile editing interface and disabled the copy user button on the user edit form if the maximum number of users has already been reached. This post is part of the…

  12. Women’s Asses

    There is a recent report about women and how they feel about their asses. I thought the results were pretty interesting: 85% of women think their ass is too big. 10% of women think their ass is too little. The other 5% say that they don’t care, they love him, he’s a good man, and…
