In a previous post on the subject, I touched on some thoughts I had based my application needs to keep data in a database over a period of time, without using updates and deletes.
After doing some pencil and paper design, and a lot of thought, I think I figured out the easiest way to implement this.
It gripes my ass when people misuse ‘your’ taking things like how “your a nice guy”.
But it’s excusable. I mean, it’s someone just not thinking clearly and taking the extra effort to notice that they should have used the words “you are”.
However, I find it completely inexcusable when someone does it backwards. That is: “you’re shoulder shouldn’t hurt any more”.
How can you make that mistake in reverse? I don’t get it.
Granted, I’m sure I’ve done it sometimes in life. That doesn’t make it any more excusable, though.
My Norton Antivirus 2002 subscription ran out back in March, and I was loathe to renew it, at 34.95 or something close to that for another year.
Thank god for pre-Black Friday sales. Officemax had NAV 2006 for 39.99 + 9.99 instant rebate + 20.00 mail in rebate = 10.00.
Circuit city, however, price matches + 10%, and had the same rebate, so we ended up paying $9.00 for NAV 2006, which comes with 1 year of subscription to the live update service. That’s a much better deal, in my opinion. To boot, I (and when I say *i*, I mean Annie who had the day off and did the shopping for me) had a gift card for CC, so we ended up really paying nothing.
Bonus.
A quick scan of my computer showed 11 vulnerabilities that weren’t picked up by the existing virus scan or Adaware. Ugh.
I just noticed that XM online now has a new channel, via AOL Music, called “One Hit Wonders”. I’m sure Vansell would be spooeying himself if he listened to this baby.
In related news, I heard a quick blurb on there about how XM now has like 5 Christmas music channels. They’re not available online yet, so I couldn’t see them from the computer, but that’s a lot of Christmas music.
In response to Noah’s blog about knowing someone who knows someone famous, I thought I’d say that I know someone famous.
I went to high school with a guy named Danny (I can’t think of his last name now). Anyway, it was a well known fact that he was in the movie Kindergarten Cop (with Arnie). He played a random kid who ran out of the building during the fire alarm scene. Or so he said.
That is all.
