Toilet Paper

Now how much does toilet paper really cost?  I am asking this relatively strange question because I just had a bad TP experience.  Basically I was forced to use single ply sandpaper on my delicate behind.

Yes forced, you really don’t always get to choose your locale, so I went to a public toilet in a relatively fancy coffee shop.  I will not name names since all in all I like the place so I would hate for people not to go their because of the toilet paper that they use.

So again I say, how much does it cost, not a hell of a lot is the answer.  I would rather pay a couple of pennies more for my coffee so that in the off chance that I have to go to the washroom I will have the pleasure to use 2ply SOFT TP.

For the cost difference it would really make one of their more regular customers MUCH MUCH more happy.

Counter Project Update

Well I didn’t get as far with this “simple” project as I though.  I figured out how to output the image, however I am still having what I think are simple problems with the SQL.  Since I want anyone to use this without any real sign up process, just put code on site and go, I need a script that will grab the entire URL, check to see if it is in the DB if it is add one and output the pic, if not then add it and out put the pic.

Simple Right

Well that is what I thought too and for some STUPID reason I can’t get it to work.  Not sure why, the SQL and PHP are simple but it just doesn’t want to work.  I think that it is something that I just have to put down and pick it up later.  Maybe next weekend.

I will be sure to keep you posted.

Hit Counter project

I have had a few requests from some of my members at www.superfreeforums.com and they are looking for a way to keep track of there hits.  So I was just going to install one of those free hit counters on the site, but then I thought, why don’t I simply develop one myself, so that is what I am going to do. 

 Instead of just going and grabbing someone elses I am going to develop one of my own and set it up for my forums.  I will let everyone know when it is complete and where you can find it.

It will be a free counter, however I will have a small link that will be placed under the counter.

New Premier

We have a new provincial leader in Rodney MacDonald.  Sure he has been running the show for a while now, but now he can truly say that he got in on his own and wasn’t simply given the job by his pre-decessor, which was the case.

I am still not 100% sure if I think that this is a good thing.  I can be sure that I am glad that Mr MacKenzie didn’t get in, and I am not sure if I like Dexter.  The only reason that I am leary of MacDonald is his age, which is weird considering he is a number of years older than I.  Actually I had him a gym teacher in high school.  That’s right our premeir was a GYM TEACHER, not a lawyer or doctor but a teacher, and not any teacher a GYM TEACHER.  This is one thing that when I tell people for the first time they simply don’t believe me.  But it is very true.

Tried the Blog via Email

I tried the Blog via email function native to Wordpress today to see if I could simply send emails from work to the Blog.  However it didn’t go nearly as smooth as planned.  For one my company adds the nice, “This email is confidential” to the end of the messages, and two the fonts were messed.

So in the end I guess I will be posting the old fashioned way for the near future.  Now that things are getting more interesting around here I think that I will be posting more often about my exploits.
