We found the hidden "Parking Lot Lake" in the South Meadows area. It's this strange little lake that's only accessible from business parking lots. There are no other places to park around the lake but local business parking lots. Weird. Swarm of gnats above head on walk. Becky's 2nd birthday party. FIPS55 census tract finally codes figured out ('FIPS' stands for the 'Federal Information Processing Standards' developed by NIST).

Can't "view all mail as text only" in Outlook 2000 SP3 - sucks. Can in Outlook 2002, though - thankfully, with the free third-party plug-in "Attachment Options" by Outlook MVP Ken Slovak.

Pickett park - McDonald's slides - Misti's first-time home buyer's class. IMing Scott Myler - Natellie Yurtinus - Jaylene Staehouwer in Vermont.

Working on new XHTML/CSS websites for redhalosreno.com, csareno.org, richardbarnet.com, reno-map.com - a change for the better, although frustrating at times, due to differences between browsers - need to hack IE a lot.

Bohlender Graebener in Carson - ribbon speaker manufacturing plant.

Planning on moving from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 at work - excited about using a blacklist for spammers, open relays, etc. The Exchange 2000 software won't let you "downgrade" from 5.5 Enterprise to 2000 Standard. If you're going to upgrade, it assumes you're upgrading from like to like. Of course, you can't tell if you're running 5.5 Standard or 5.5 Enterprise without looking in the event log for the 16 GB information store limit or not. If it says "unlimited", you're running Enterprise, if it doesn't, you're running Standard. How stupid is that?

We found out it's a boy - we already "knew" this though - 6/9/2003

I found a bug in Blogger - can't use raw < > codes - some like "code" and "noscript" in my previous post hosed my entire Blogger interface until I could figure out how to use it again - all the controls, toolbars, edit link, etc. were gone because of this interaction. Not good. Hope this gets fixed in Dano.
