American Censorship Day November 16 – Join the fight to stop SOPA.
Today, Congress holds hearings on the first American Internet censorship system.

Join all of us to stop this bill.

A basic PHP example of how to post a new ticket via the Kayako v4 Rest API

It’s snowing here in Houston today! We don’t see snow that often here and it sure doesn’t compare to the snow when I am up in Michigan. However it is a welcome change and distraction from the normal Texas weather. It is expected to continue though the rest of the day and we may actually see more than 2 inches. I don’t mind at all, just gives me a reason to kick the dodge into 4 wheel drive.

I seemed to have a new found addiction to Bookworm. This is not a new game to me but I recently installed in on my notebook and can’t seem to stop playing it.

To make matters worse, Sharlet of SharletsWorld.com has been taunting me about my scores. I think I have her beat with my new score(3,452,580), but I really don’t see this ending well for me.

I received an edible arrangement today from a friend for helping with her web design class. I have seen these before but never tried them nor received one until now. I enjoy fresh fruit but don’t eat it as often as I should, so this was a welcome treat.

Thanks Cathy!

My job requires a lot of hours at the keyboard, so I decide to swap my desk for something a bit more comfortable. After a little searching I opted for a recliner and a LCD stand.

To round out the setup, I tossed in a wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, and a nice lap board. My only complaints so far are that the stand is held in place by the weight of the recliner and I hate the keyboard. However, I have yet to knock it over and have pre ordered the new Logitech K340 compact keyboard.

I haven’t maintained a site in a while so I figured why not see how much of my life I can waste tweaking this damn thing. I have no idea what I will put up here but I can promise you it’s not going to be entertaining. So move on my friend or you will lose precious minutes of your life that you will never get back.
