I’ll Tell You What…

I think the database is finally correct. phpMyAdmin is such a pain when it comes to very large databases. I suppose it’s not really the applications fault but the server settings for mysql. The default timeout for “importing” an SQL dump is 5 minutes and when one has a few hundred thousand […]

I will be switching web host providers this week so if you experience any broken links or strange error messages while trying to load my site it’s just me. Just try back later if you get an error.
Thanks.

I’m approaching the 2-day post op mark and I must say that this hasn’t been fun. Of course, nobody said it was going to be fun but I didn’t think it would be as bad as it was.
My anesthesiologist knocked me out while I wasn’t paying attention. Usually they will say […]

Tomorrow’s the day I say goodbye to a close friend: my gall bladder. While the surgeon’s in there a liver biopsy will be taken to see what’s up with my liver function test numbers.
Prayers at 1:00 PM EST would be greatly appreciated.

Luke 9
There’s a lot happening in this chapter. Jesus sends out the twelve, Herod gets confused, the five thousand are fed, Peter correctly responses to the question “Who do you say that I am?”, Jesus predicts His death, the Transfiguration, the healing of the demon-possessed boy, Jesus predicts his death again, the disciple’s learn […]

The more I read about China the more I’m convinced that companies are only concerned with making a buck and could care less what China does to its own people.

Just testing out a new Mac OS X Tiger widget called RapidMetaBlog. I really like the interface to this one. It seems really polished and well laid out.

All blood tests were normal (except for the liver test), CT scan was normal, HIDA scan was normal (except for some pain during the constriction phase), upper GI endoscopy (with biopsies) was normal…
Next stop, appointment with a surgeon to get an opinion regarding gall bladder removal. Yeah! What makes this even better is […]

Schwarzenegger to veto gay marriage bill.

It’s been a while since I last told you about Dirt Poor Robins so I thought it was high-time I said something again.
I listen to a lot of music. My iPod has almost 2,100 songs on it (for some people that’s not much, I know) and I continually come back […]

Well, tomorrow’s one of the big days for this liver/gall bladder problem I’ve been suffering from all year long. My doctor is going to perform an upper GI endoscopy to check for possible ulcers and such in my esophagus, stomach and duodenum. If all is well, he will then refer me to a […]
