node.js

So I'm starting to look at nodejs.org and it's very very interesting stuff. I've become more and more fan of event based programming and that's right up Node's alley, so to speak. The thing I'm trying to sort out now is a lot of what java had to deal with just prior to the emergence of J2EE and the war/application container standards: How does one package and deploy a node based app in a consistent and regular fashion? What are the best practices, etc.

Casper's 1st pics

Here are the first pics we have of Casper.

New addition being picked up...

Today we pick up Casper, our new kitten. Pictures to follow soon.

Never buy from Sears!

They have completely failed to meet their obligations to service my dishwasher in a reasonable timeframe. I called them to set up and appointment and was given a next available date ten days later. Since I am under their extended warranty I decided to wait it out..tomorrow would have been the scheduled day and as they said their computer called me earlier today to day that they would be out tomorrow between 8 and noon. 

Then, at 8 pm, they call me and tell me they can't have anyone out until the 18th despite their previous call..so a total of TWENTY FIVE days to wait for a dishwasher repair that's under warranty.

Then, of course, the guy on the phone can't help me, nor can their 'call center manager'. I have to call their customer care...and have been on hold there now for over an hour.

The long and the short of it, go buy your appliances anywhere but Sears...I know that I will be buying my new refrigerator from anywhere else.

Good news and bad news day.

Good news, the in-laws get power back tonight hopefully. Bad news..looks like ours won't be back till Friday -- So glad we have the generator.

Power still out..

And the generator's still going, thankfully. I wonder if this will mean at some point Pepco will get a clue and finally realize that burying the power lines will save them money.

Stupid money grubbing power company.
