I’m hanging out with Tara today at her office. We have some appointments today so I figured I’d just take the day instead of trying to rus around and get things done. It appears I have my own little office here. Well, it’s the interns office, and she’s not here, so it’s mine now! Yoink! […]
And it goes higher
So the upside is that the stripped bolt is covered under warrenty. That’s good! But I opted to do the 24k service, so that’ll cost $200. That’s bad. But that also includes the Oil Change! That’s good! But they called back and said I should have an alignment. That’s $80. So somewhere, somehow, I evened […]
Stripped bolt
Tried to change my summer/winter tires, and the front side passenger tire was rusted onto the hub. Kinda annoying, so I tried a few things to loosen the rust. Including hitting it with a hammer. Well, I must have hit one of the bolts, because when I gave up and tried to get the nut […]
Comments Sorted
Found the offending peice of code. Actually, had to put in a bit of code that caused the problem. See, when generating the XML, I did it all at once(per entry) and did it from variables. The problem was that the comment arrays wouldn’t get reset on each run, so if post 123 had comments […]
Titles
Think I’ve sorted out the old titles problem. They were repeating because the reg expression string that I had wasn’t verbose enough. There must be an easier way… [a-zA-Z0-9?!,$’”\. ]* seems that it will capture everything, but I’m not totally convinced 😉 Now to sort out the comment issue…that’s gonna take a looooong time I […]
Upon further review
It seems that my 2002/2003 entries are a little screwy. What I had done is create this little php script that would take my older html entries and translate them into the LJ XML that WordPress could import. For the most part it worked. The content is all there, it’s things like titles and comments […]
New Site
So the new site is up and running finally! Come have a gander at www.thesidekick.ca. I was also able to import some of my old posts from 2002 and 2003, so those were fun to read through. Now I just have to find the 2004 posts which are….somewhere 😉 Not a whole ton here yet, […]
Where the Wild Things Are
Is being made into a live action movie being released in the fall of this year. There are some new promo-shots that give a decent look at the movie. Now of course the big question; Why? Dunno. I loved this book as a kid, and a couple of years ago my Mom gave me another […]
Dogs and Cats
The dogs been sneezing a lot lately. So I finally took her to the vet. While she was there they did the usual checkup. She’s gained a little weight(1kg) which is fine because she’s a skinny dog 🙂 Also, they were more concerned about the gunk in her eyes, so they gave me some goop […]
Dinner
had the family over for dinner last night. All went well, Tara was worried about things turning out, but it was all perfect 🙂 We had manicotti stuffed with cheese in a pizza sauce. Totally awesome thanks to Tara’s leet cooking skills 🙂 Dessert was hazelnut and espresso mouse. Also turned out amazing and she […]
