| 2008-10-03 16:04:03: | Fixed my comment scraper. It pulled a substring of the db record, breaking on large HTML code. Now, I pull everything, parse out the HTML, and then grab a substring of that. Much better. |

| 2008-02-11 14:50:16: | Ugh. Having trouble dual-booting now. |
| 2008-02-04 14:55:05: | I'm in the mood to make something. Something new. |

| 2007-06-19 07:11:42: | Three figurines to clear out my queue, and then I'll get back to the CNC machine. Or my car. Hrm. |
| 2007-06-18 09:53:14: | I want to weld something fantastic and complex. Something with tank treads. |
| 2007-06-16 20:42:32: | Bicycles! I just picked up two from a garage sale. It's about time... |
| 2007-06-16 14:43:59: | I had no idea that dirt was so cheap. I mean, it's dirt cheap. |
| 2007-06-15 13:05:44: | My wife says I think about my ants too much. The truth is that I think about everything too much. |
| 2007-06-14 15:57:56: | Maybe... just maybe I have too many projects going on. |
| 2007-06-12 12:57:28: | I'm still in pain. Stupid vasectomy. |
| 2007-06-11 14:48:42: | Hrm. CNC machine or ant farm... which gets my attention first? |

| 2007-06-09 13:33:04: | Having a garage sale in the rain is not fun. |
| 2007-06-08 20:13:50: | Ugh. So much pain. It feels like there's bowling balls tied to them. |
| 2007-06-07 20:00:16: | My webhost had 3,500 passwords compromised. Time to change passwords. |
| 2007-06-07 08:44:51: | Today is V-day. As in, snip-snip. |
| 2007-06-06 14:24:09: | w00t! Getting a PLASMA CUTTER today! |
| 2007-06-06 12:39:21: | 23 days, 18 welded figurines, and over $500. Not bad at all. |
| 2007-06-06 08:39:27: | People sure do like Cthulhu. |
| 2007-06-05 08:18:21: | Somebody just donated 4 dot-matrix printers to me. More stepper motors! |
| 2007-06-04 08:39:41: | Happy birthday, wife. :) |
| 2007-06-03 16:07:32: | Just finished weed-eating the jungle near my garden. Ugh.. allergies. |
| 2007-06-03 12:40:50: | Giving Stabilizer a listen. Indy is often hit or miss; it's either great or really, really bad. |
| 2007-06-02 11:29:24: | Yikes. Spent more than I expected on those stepper motors. Ugh. |
| 2007-06-02 07:16:54: | Pensively waiting to see if I won the stepper motors on eBay. 2 hours remaining... |
| 2007-06-01 23:35:36: | Finished two Katamari balls. I have to make two princes and ship them out tomorrow. |
| 2007-06-01 23:04:58: | Ha! I fixed the timestamp issue. Shabam. |
| 2007-06-01 21:07:52: | Now trying to parse the mySQL date with Perl. |
| 2007-06-01 18:19:05: | Trying to figure out mySQL code for this little thoughts project. |
| 2007-06-01 18:08:59: | Setting up my "thoughts" section. |
