Uneventful Day Off

I guess it's my own fault too, but we're really not doing anything today for my day off. I guess the plans 3 weeks ago for today were dependent on Jaime and Karen going. They said they were going, no problem finding a babysitter, then the time came and they couldn't. Karen's Mother decided not to, and Jaime's younger sister was going to, but never did. Part of me wanted to do this big elaborate day trip to the beach or VT, the other part is saying "ah.. just stay home and enjoy your single day off.." and that's what I'm doing. I got my schedule for next week and I'm the only person in the store schedued all seven days. Everyone gets a day off but me. It's spread out so it's only 44 hours, but they could've given me a few longer days and one off. Ah well.. One of my biggest gripes with my Linux setup was a lack of shortcuts to start apps I install. Thanks to a site called Linuxnewbie.org, I was able to fix that. Now for the network address search at the start of Gnome. Another thought, another paragraph, I remember my teacher saying. I never was too good at doing that in journal entries. I more or less like to keep even paragraphs, and thoughts scattered. Now for the original thought. Last night we went to CoEd Billiards and played a few games of "cut-throat" with the three of us (Deb, Chris Bushey, myself). We played 3 1/2 games, I won 2 and I was playing decent in the 4th when the place was closing for the night. They're long games, but still fun. Boy, Linux/Netscape formats things on web pages different than Windows. This blog entry page flips out when I hit enter to make a new paragraph, and my site looks like poop in Linux. The stationary background isn't. Rather than one frame of the entire image being the "stay-still" background and text moving over it, it's a repeat of the image. I guess the tag "no repeat" means nothing to Linux and/or Netscape? I'll work on that. Hopefully making it look decent in Linux won't make it messed up in Windows, because frankly, only about 4 people with Linux have visited my site. That's compared to maybe a couple hundred Windows visits. Ok.. I'm really out of things to write. My music of choice today is Staind's first album "Dysfunction". They're from my hometown of Springfield, MA. I live next to my hometown now, but I still claim it. :) Until next time... --------
