I know I haven't posted in a long time but that's because I was involved in another pastime. (Yes, I got involved with World of Warcraft again! hehe)

Anyway, I think I'll be around a lot more often now, at least until after the first of the year when Vanguard: Saga of Heroes launches. Can't wait!

I found a really neat blog community tool at http://www.mybloglog.com/. It looks like more fun than Myspace!

Edit 02/19/07: I got the chance to beta test Vanguard Saga of Heroes and didn't like it at all. I'm glad I didn't spend the money to buy the game!

We took our car to the dealership a few months ago because the air conditioner wasn't working. They said they couldn't find the location of the leak so they charged it up with special freon with dye in it. They said if it leaks out again they will be able to see from the dye where the leak is.

It stopped blowing cold again so we took it back in yesterday. Now they say the compressor is bad and it will cost $1300.00 to fix it. Bull dookie! If the compressor was bad now it was bad before and the re-charge wouldn't have helped it.

And by the way, it will cost $85.00 just for them to tell us that!

Jerks!

So I finally found a "theme" I liked for this dumb blog, but it looked okay with Firefox and crappy with IE... so that is my rant for the day... if I can get a page to look good with one browser it looks bad in the other and vice versa... so I'll have to find a theme that looks good in both browsers... what a pain because Drupal doesn't have very many themes to choose from and I'm not up for learning how to make my own... :(

My old blog was at http://varonika.nexae.com/blog

The reason I moved is that I like Drupal better than Wordpress for blog software (even though WP has tons of themes) and I wanted to just pick one name and stick with it... and Varonika wasn't that name... So here I am and here is where I am going to stay... no more moves and I mean it this time!

This is what I cooked tonight... it is a very easy dish to prepare...

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup uncooked regular rice
2/3 cup chopped green pepper
1 can (16 ounces) stewed tomatoes
5 slices bacon, crisply fried and crumbled
2 cups water
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano leaves
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

I didn't do all the things I planned to do while hubby was on vacation but we did manage to get a good portion of it done... I feel nice and clean now after cleaning the carpets... I bet I would feel even better if I got rid of some of this clutter!

I don't know why I'm such a pack rat... there must be some deep seated psychological reason for it... I swear I must have about a half dozen boxes and drawers just filled to the brim with electronics stuff, e.g., cables, wires, modems, phones, adapters, you name it, it is in there... and most of it is so jumbled and tangled up it would take hours just to separate it... I told my husband the other day we should just toss every bit of it in the trash and if we need something we'll just go out and buy it new... but have we done that...? heck no, we still have all the crap in boxes in the closet and we never even look in them... *sigh*

I bet I could sell it on eBay but shipping would probably cost more than whatever was bid on it, hehe...

I've learned a lot of new things since setting up this blog and what I learned today was how to set up a cron job!

Something else new that I learned today is the definition of CVS... I've seen it a lot at the http://drupal.org site and didn't know what it meant... it means "The Concurrent Versions System"... so now I know what it is... :)

The third thing new that I learned today is the difference between a rabbit and a hare! I never knew what the difference was until today...
