Musing's from teh M^onk^K . : . who knows what a programmer thinks? . : .

Well, everything was going very well with my Drupal installation. I've got TinyMCE working as my WYSIWYG editor, and added a bunch of other modules to do this, that, and the other. And all was well, I had encoutered a module or two that didn't work correctly and it was simple enough to remove them so I was pretty pleased. And apparently lulled into a false sense of security.

Well, here is an interesting little story that was passed on to me from a friend with a jail-broken iPhone. Complete with screen-shots (nice touch)

So it seems, in the Settings application, the item for “Mail, Contacts, and Calendars” was missing. And upon closer examination, so was the Push settings, and likely anything new with the 3.0 OS update. Here is a screenshot of the Settings app in it’s “confused” state (it does look a little off doesn’t it ;-) ) :

Ok ya got me, awful is nowhere near strong enough a word but it'll have to do. Why? Ok here we go:

1) If you have a TV it MUST have a set top box otherwise you'd better have an air antennae or the tv is useless. $5.00 a month per set top box.

Come back in 2 years and regulate the senate 4tw ;-)

Came across this in an email and it sums it up pretty well :-)  (Click on the image to get a larger, more read-able image)

Summary

So, apparently my company will be downsizing, with IT taking the brunt of the cuts...  By rough estimation, it'll end up being around 20%. Doing the math that ends up being 3.5 developers. I am the 4th newest, but the most recent fills a singular specific job that's not going away, and my gut says he's safe. Which puts me at #3   :-( My company is pretty choosy about the hiring process and it's personnel, and truly, there is no chaff at all to cut.

When you lived in Macedonia (could have been Medina, started with an M :-(  )Ohio, you were dating a friend of mine named Barry D. This would have been early 90's. After you guys broke up you vanished. I can't find any sort of trace of you anywhere, should you happen to ever come across this, you should get in touch with me. It's John M. and I can be reached here or via email: coder at monkk dot com

Well my friends, I have rejoined the ranks of the employed once again! A little spot called Insurance.com. I have to say I'm incredibly excited to start!
