We are back tickling the 100 degrees mark for the day and its a nice warm night with a slight breeze, the kind I enjoy.
I’m going to go back outside on the patio watch the pool lights change colors and enjoy the night with some chilled gin and/or gin martini.

Why do people who are incompetent and weak minded think that others are afflicted with the same issues and feel others will respond as they will? They try pop psychology and are so far off based its laughable! They never just can do their job better and elevate their work but try to bring you to their level or distract. DAMNED I hate incompetents!!
They also think that just because you are not bitching moaning or complaining that you have it easy. S#$T anyone can make something look difficult true talent and preparation makes things look easy.
Just like people who think that just because you can use Excel or Word you can program or work in IT! They never consider what makes things tick even making the mouse move takes a book of instructions if printed out but people in this category don’t realize this.
Peace! Just a need to preach again!!! 🙂
Oh this is concerning a side venture, in case you are wondering 😉

Well I did some more testing of streaming audio from my music server and updating my website. I now have broadband 128k and low band 32kb audio streams and will update my website with the links this week some time. Yes you with modems will soon be able to listen to my streamed audio/radio station.
I am also looking to update the website with a list of songs that have played the past 24 hours or some portion of that. I would like a file that does some circular logging. I actually have a few ideas since my website resides on a Linux system. One issue is that my music server is a totally different system and on a Windows platform. Right now I have a method to update my web server about what my music server is currently playing. My web server displays my music servers currently playing songs and provides a link to the music I’m streaming to the internet.
I am also looking into a way to stream to multiple audio/media players so that multiple platforms can listen in on the tunes. I have found a method to listen via Winamp and other media players but will try and automate the process so it will be a click away. I actually found a way to listen in Linux and UNIX but need to automate that for users.
I have so much else going on I rarely have time to work on the music server or web server! I haven’t even talked about updating the blog software and adding more functionality there, plus adding another blog for music! Remember I am not on a hosted Blog site I run my own blog server software!
All this is run from my little old computer/audio room, which reminds me that I am also investigating and have found some different ways to have live microphone and other type inputs over the internet in my audio string as well!
I do this for fun and the learning experience of what you must know to do these things technically. This is why I host as much as possible all my servers within the walls of my house and maintain it all
Well we will see how this all goes so much going on and so much to do!!

After staying up till 4am watching the Olympics got up at 9am and started doing things around the house.
Went over my parents and showed my pressure washed concrete for my dad or tried everyone had to take a turn and left with my dad to play with later.
He made some tasty black eyed peas, greens (collard, mustard & turnip with okra), crackled cornbread, and potato salad and neck bones. Damned that was good!!! I know where I’m going for lunch and dinner this week!
Then had to come back and battle the worms going around the internet in the computer world. I updated viruses and patches for my windows systems. I also closed up some ports I had opened in my routers.
I had a new system I brought online that I had not uncharacteristically had not updated any patches on or placed virus software on, usually the first application I install on a windows system! Oh well getting it taken care of!

I had to clear tree branches from above my garden coming in from a yard behind me because the branches were throwing my produce in shadows too much of the day. Hopefully I did it in time to restore some of the luster to my vegetables.
My strawberries never had a problem since they were on the edge unaffected by the branches. The okra looks good, tomatoes started strong but didn’t reach full size I like and without the sun never reached that full red ripe stage now they will along with my peppers, squash, pumpkins, cucumbers etc.
Now I will plant some late season vegetables as well plus start a treatment of plant food. I also reset the water timer to water longer twice a day because of the hot Sacramento summers. And soaked the ground to saturate the garden to fully hold the water and now the automatic timer will keep the ground moist and not dry and cracked.
That was my Saturday plus some minor work on the audio/computer room until I realized I was tired.

Today was my first Fantasy Football draft of the year. I like to draft a little closer to the actual season in case of injury player movement and all those elements are a bit clearer the weekend before the season starts.
I think I have a good solid team with the potential for lowing opponents out the box depending on lineups.
Let’s PLAY BALL!!!

The Olympics are interesting they are on more channels at this year. I watch as many events as possible. They all put in time and work to represent the country and plus I like seeing competition where people give their best.
Football is around the corner and my first Fantasy Football draft in one of my many leagues is tomorrow. This particular league I did not participate in last year because of the inadequacies of the website they had hosting it and the inflexibility of the rules. This year its hosted on Yahoo who seems to do the best with Fantasy sports. You can customize the league to whatever standards you want and if changes are made the whole league is informed. No behind the scenes shanigans even by the commissioner, once rules are setup the website takes care of it all!!
All my Fantasy football leagues this year are on Yahoo including the one I’m the commissioner of. Each league is unique with its own set of rules, very cool. Well the public leagues have the default setups.
