Saying Goodbye

Filed under: General— arlen@ 10:56 am

It was one of those moments that defines, even redefines, a life, although it didn’t look like it. A new coach had taken over the sorriest team in the league, a team that had barely managed to escape being winless the year before.

Someone over on metafilter asks if there’s a non-prescription aid for ADHD. I’ve always found Vinpocetine to help.

Managed to clear most of the table cruft out of 1.5, only the content component to go. That one will be non-trivial but possible, nonetheless. I’ve been wrestling with a view other ideas along the way. The first is a question born out of frustration: Why do I have to do this? The Joomla developers […]
