Geek On The Mountain

Looking just now, I see that I haven’t really written anything since the very beginning of the month. How sad.

But then, looking back on the month, I see that not only have I not written anything, I haven’t gotten much in the way of anything done either. That’s even more sad.

I feel like perhaps I’m past that though. I certainly need to be past that. Everything goes one day at a time I suppose…

One time at work, we were doing some brainstorming and we also had a power point presentation open that we were working on. For some reason, I decided to type in Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. To my amazement, it didn’t get a red squiggly underline. I changed one of the letters and the underline showed up. Right clicking on it did indeed provide the correct spelling, proving what I had suspected just after I typed it in:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, the crazily long word that comes from the movie Mary Poppins, actually appears in the spell check on newer versions of MS Office (We have 2003 at work, though it may have been 2002 at the time. It isn’t in my copy of 97).

And who says programmers don’t have a sense of humor? (No one, actually, I think..)

It was kind of crazy that I spelled it right on my first try as well. If you sound it out though, you’ll find that it’s spelled exactly how it sounds. Thus, despite being 34 letters long, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is really easy to spell.

Welcome to June. I still have nothing to show for my dream of a WordPress Plugin. It has become vaporware. I’ve been far too busy and far too lazy to do much as of late. I could come up all kinds of excuses though.

My plan, and I really want to follow through with this, is to be back at it by the end of the month. I really DO have a lot of stuff going on, but if I can manage to manage my time well, then I’ll sure end up with enough time to put in some effort here. It would be great to have several hours per day free, but at the very least I should be able to do an hour or so if I’m still heavily involved in other things.

I did at least fix the feed so it works again.

This is my plan…hold me to it, please
