Ready set go

Well seeing as today is full of shit, and that i am spending my time getting ready for a good two weeks of fun in Kentucky, i do still have some time to sit back and realize just how much i love the sister site I brought up yesterday officially. It literally was born out of a three week "sit and think" where I even started posting funny convos from work at Buzz. I literally thought, man this would be awesome to put them all onto a site that anyone could read them and anyone could enjoy IT hell with me. Out of that thought was born Office Daze. And two hours later the logo for my site was drawn up, and an hour after that my blog post was picked up, however briefly (literally about ten minutes) on twitter. This has got to be the best turn out of any of my solo projects ever.

So please, enjoy it with me, submit some fun, and check back often at   office daze  thank you all

Google Shows me the sign

Well today before I got ready to sign off of everything and get ready to go home to my fiancee, and my dog I thought I'd head on over to my Google Adsense to take a look at what has happened today.

Now I'll admit that my site is probably not the best or most popular site on the internet, but I get people to stop by and read my ramblings and my rumblings from time to time and low and behold people at the very least return. Any way back to the topic at hand, reviewing the information on my estimated earnings and I came across something very interesting indeed: my estimated earnings was reading:  6    6    6!

Is this a sign from the dark one? Is this a sign from Google? Well if I were to be a superstitious man I might just believe in that kind of hocus-pocus, but for now it's the most amusing thing that I've seen this whole month . . . and it's only the 8th!

Well back to the 'ol grind . . . for another 15 minutes and then it's off to the 'ol homestead.

More Google TV fun news

As if watching TV wasn't bad enough (wait, I watch TV!!) Google and their genius level engineers have developed (and consequently released a little bit ago on Wednesday) Youtube "leanback" for those of us who dread having to use that pesky scroll-wheel to look for another video.

This little gem was developed and released for those of us (me included) who watch enough You tube to fry our brains, and like to sit on the couch. What's better is that Google, who is releasing their Google TV very soon , is going to combine it all into that little box (and select Sony TVs). So not only will you not have to wait long, you may not even have to buy anything extra to use it.

This new feature includes a minimal keyboard controlled interface which includes a "like" feature that will eventually figure out what you want to come on next and queue it up for you; soon enough the TV remote will be a relic that we see in museums instead of crammed between couch cushions.

So how long does the world have to wait for this feature to go forward full steam? Well if my calculations are correct, Google TV will be here in enough time for me to get one for my birthday (November 29th). Anyone feeling generous?

Hit me up with your questions (should you feel compelled to ask them) by clicking on the link at the top for me email.

Many thanks

In the grand scheme of things i think thw whole situation is finally resolved. Everything seemed to slowly resolve itself: little by little; once what i did was reversed. Next time i have to make changes that are universal to my site I guess I should follow some common sense and not do it all at once. Seems like common sense, but when you really want to go home and let the rest of the site run on auto pilot you tend to throw responsible site practices out the window . . . At the very least i do that sometimes.

Good times

Remember: please, please, please keep an eye out for anything weird I may have missed and let me know via the email link at the top of the page.

Talk to you guys tomorrow.

Dear Readers

Dear Readers,

Please forgive the weird happenings on the site that have been happening in the past 30-90 (or more, I’m still looking into it) minutes. This plea is, of course, assuming something happened during your last visit today. I went onto one of my networks’ ad sites to fix something that they told me was broken, and lo and behold when I loaded the page to take a look at the site it had a lot of the content reading “unable to display” and the ads were being all weirded out too. So much so that for a while my site looked like crap and for the past few hours (on and off because I have to call customers) have been trying to rectify the situation so that people don’t end up on my site saying, “What the hell happened here?” because let’s face it, sometimes people say that when they go onto a site that is having issues for whatever reason.

So far the site seems to be providing all of the correct content and ads and such, but a couple of the times it has been loaded from separate computers and browsers just to make sure it has gone BONKERS. I’m still working on the situation, and still trying to figure out what happened with the networked ad site that I updated that caused this mess.

On the bright side, Chrome still loads my site really fast . . . even if I still use Mozilla.

If anyone catches something that could be fixed or has gone wrong in the past few hours, or over the next few days please use the link at the top (of my email) and let me know so that I can fix it. Thanks a bunch guys for not freaking out (even if you did for a second LOL)

Sincerely,

Successful bird rescue parts 1 and 2

Yes before I go to work I'm posting this blog today about my rescue of a bird this morning from my dogs. I took them outside before I got ready for work and realized they were looking intently at something in the corner of my lawn. When I went over there I realized that they had trapped a baby bird (baby being a relative word). I managed to get them away while I ran inside for some vinyl gloves and proceeded to chase it up and down the fence and pick him up and send him off into freedom . . . away from my dogs that is. Check both of the videos here.

SUCCESS!!!!

My actual experience with the iPad

Just the other day my office bought some iPads for display of our applications with printing and copying. I'll have to admit i try to stay away from anything Apple, but obviously I had no choice. Since that happened, and I have to set them up for work, I thought I might actually get to know these devices for real.

To be honest, I wasn't impressed, but that's because I hate Apple, but i thought I should give it a chance. Upon turning it on and getting it to let me use the system (after plugging it into iTunes of course) I was up on the internet surfing for videos, my own blog (hehe) and google maps to name a few things. Aside from the fact that it had nothing (which turned me off of it before it was even out) the internet was fast and my youtube videos played nicely.

I thought I might become an Apple convert for a second there, but just to do anything extra special on it (download my own programs, or to even take pictures) I was left shothanded.

So this fun little device, which i reluctantly used the first time, on looks alone almost converted me to Apple; but once the "WOW" factor was over with and it once again came back to me about the limitations . . . I ran away.

In short, I think it's pretty on looks alone . . . But until it comes out with more, I think I'll still steer clear of it.
