I don’t usually write poems, but I recently had an experience that scared me to death and thus elicited this bit of prose…

Running naked from the shower
Because I forgot to get a towel.
Across the vinyl to the carpet,
Snatched a clean one from the pile.
Returning to the steaming quarter,
Reflection spinning
Sees left foot slipping.
Right foot smacks upon the ground.
I try to balance all my pounds.
Right hand shoots out to the right.
All my might to stay upright.
Now I’m safe,
The spill’s averted.
A silly end, but nothing’s hurted.

I’m sorry anyone had to see that. Truly ridiculous.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. If you are in the position of needing to reference the National Do Not Call List and really hate having to download flat text files for each area code Strikeiron has a web service that allows you to run phone numbers against the database.

Now run and go make unsolicited phone calls to the poor folks who haven’t put their names on the list.

Seems things have gotten back to normal round the ‘ol simondvorak.com way. Enough visitors (according to my stats) but no comments. Maybe I’m lucky. Maybe I’m as boring as a MMORPG. Comments?

I’m sure that tomorrows debate will be even more frustrating than the last one. If the performance curve Kerry has been exibiting so far is any indicator, we will probably see G.W. condesend his way to the top. Damn them both for being such shits.

Please Kerry, stomp him so I never have to see his puffed up, “I am God” face again.

Because I’m cheap I am using my hosting companies free PHP/MySql support instead of Coldfusion for server-side scripting. However, my side loads soooo slow. Is it my hosting companies fault or are MySql and PHP just really dogs in comparison? Other sites that are on their servers and use Coldfusion (and MSSQL) do not have this problem.
