Jared’s Friends and Bart Coming to Visit

Last night Jared had a few of his friends over. One was Kristen, who is the one that flashed her nipple piercing at me a few weeks ago. She and I get along pretty well. Though she may have gotten a little cranky with me last night. She had gotten a call on her cell [...]

Call Me, Dammit!

I’m getting a tad frustrated. I have called my friends, Chad and Rose (mostly Chad), many times now, leaving messages asking if they want to come over and play. Neither one ever answers the phone so I leave a message and then never hear back.
Their cell phone’s reception is crappy where they live so they [...]

Gingerbread House

My friends, Miya and Chaz, came over tonight. I invited them over after hearing that they had a bit of a bad day, which I won’t go in to. Before they came over, when I was talking to Miya on the phone, she asked me if they should bring anything. I jokingly listed off a [...]

Mitigation Hearing: Part 2

I went to the courthouse for the Mitigation Hearing for my citation. The judge, who was a rather nice lady, lowered the fine from $101 to $50. They could have done a deferment but that would have cost $85 and, since my ticket wasn’t traffic-related, it wouldn’t do a whole lot of good to get [...]

Mitigation Hearing

In October, I believe it was, I got a ticket for driving with expired tabs. The citation was for over $100! I couldn’t, and can’t, really afford that so I opted to have a Mitigation Hearing. Having the hearing is basically an admittance of guilt but an opportunity to explain the circumstances which led to [...]

Vonage

My home phone has finally been completely switched over to Vonage. Now I can get rid of Verizon… or, at least, not worry about them disconnecting me permanently. I wonder how many job offers I lost because interviewers, calling my home number, got to hear that the number they were trying to reach has been [...]

I almost forgot…

A few days ago my friend, Sara, and I were getting a latte at the stand in the parking lot of Skippers and some auto repair shop, near my place (for those of you reading this who know the area). While I was waiting for my caffeine fix, we saw a guy and his friends [...]

blog.davedodge.net fixed

Ah, server logs can come in handy. I didn’t realize that I had access to the server’s error logs for my website. Once I saw those I was able to find that the reason that people were getting “500 Server Error” on http://blog.davedodge.net was that the .htaccess files had gotten goofed up. A few simple [...]
