power usage.

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

I was curious today so I compiled some statistics about my power usage. I live in South Florida, and my only option for a power company is FPL.

Since I moved in to my apartment in Febrauary 2004, I’ve been billed for 710 service days, totalling $3,674.04. That averages to 50.37 kwh and $5.17 per day and

Green Pigs

Friday, January 13th, 2006

This is an email that I got today from a golfing buddy. Mr. Pig is my father…it’s a long story.

Mr. Pig,

What is this shit that I saw on FOX News this morning about the Green Pig? So we now have Green Ham with our Green Eggs?

Apparently, the public story is that some unnamed scientist has taken some genes from a jellyfish and mixed them with a pig’s DNA and he has come up with a Green Pig, that actually glows in the dark. As soon as I heard this story about the Green Pig, I immediately thought of you and/or Myles and I was wondering if either one of you snuck off to Taiwan, got drunk, ate some jelly fish, and then screwed a pig all in the name of alleged stem cell research. I have called my contacts at the State Department in Washington, D.C. and I have requested yours as well as Myles’s travel itinerary for last two years under the auspices of the Freedom of Information Act. You as well aware that they can freeze pig sperm for up to two years.

Any way, I have also asked Screw Ball The Clown to check all the outbound flight logs of all the South Florida airports to see if you or Myles flew out any time last year. I have also axed him to canvas all the cheap gay hotels in Wilton Manor and Dade County to see if either you or Myles took a pig, or for that matter a jellyfish and a pig, in to a cheap hotel room and had your way with a pig.

We will soon get to the bottom of this tawdry sexual episode and I believe that your cloven hoof prints will be all over it.

Come to think of it we haven’t heard from Twin Dust in a while and I was wondering if we should broaden our investigation to include him as well?

Aqua Data Studio

Friday, January 13th, 2006

Aqua Data Studio is fast and danger.
Aqua Data Studio is a ninja.
Aqua Data Studio is a great fucking program, ok?

Aqua Data Studio is a database query tool and administration tool that allows developers to easily create, edit, and execute SQL scripts, as well as browse and visually modify database structures. Aqua Data Studio provides an integrated database environment with a single consistent interface to all major relational databases. This allows the database administrator or developer to tackle multiple tasks simultaneously from one application.

The best part about ADS is the program’s ability to connect to multiple servers in the same window, even if those servers are different RDBMS’s. Last night, I was connected to SQL Server 2000 and mySQL 5.0 at the same time. I used the ADS wizard to export table creation scripts from SQL Server and used a little find/replace magic to make them work in mySQL. Within 5 minutes, I’d moved all the tables over. I’m still working on moving the data. What throws me off is that I need to maintain all of the primary keys, and I’m not sure what voodoo i need to throw at mySQL to make it let me insert values into a field set to auto_increment.
