Borland is Back!

Back in the eighties if you had anything to do with computer programming, Borland's Turbo Pascal and Turbo C were all the rage. Borland created Intergrated Development Environments (IDEs) that allowed programmers to write, edit, compile and debug code all in one program. Since then, IDEs have become something of an industry standard like JavaBeans and Eclipse.   Well, Borland is back!   You can download for free Turbo Explorer compilers for C++, C# and Delphi. Free is always the right pric

I got a job! Woo-hoo!

I just got a call from the translation company I interviewed at about a month ago, the first interview I went on. They called me last week to tell me that they were about ready to bring me on board, but just needed to check out my references. Today, they called me with the official offer to be their new project manager, and will be paying me $40K a year, plus benefits, free parking, etc., etc. I'll be starting next Monday, and I'm VERY relieved to finally have something. It's not what I want to

A thousand posts later

The following is a list of people who, one way or another, helped me get to a thousand posts here at Gay Authors. If I wasn't fighting with you in the soapbox about Hurricane Katrina, I was saying something irritating on an author forum somewhere to make your blood boil or make you say, "I agree" Or maybe you said, WTF??? A lot of the people listed here are dont post here anymore, but maybe they still come by to read the forums and the blogs, and if they do, thanks. I couldn't have done it wit

A perfect day!

***Warning this blog entry is long, rambling, and insanely enthusiastic and cheerful (and a real delight to write). I'll definitely looks like a stupid, ditzy, flammer.

More kitten pics

Took more pics of Little Girl and her new babies. She is a very good mama and tends to lie on top of them when anyone wants to look at them Of course, they don't really like that very much. But I have managed to get a decent pic of the babies all happily dining:     I stole one of the babies while Little Girl was eating and took this pic. Strange color. Four of them have similar coloring. The fifth one is darker and may be black or dark tiger.     Edit: Well, we have MORE bab

Babies

Went to the Fonda Fair tonight. They had one normal demolition derby and one farm combine demolition derby. This is the first year they had one of those and it didn't quite go as planned. They ended up with only 2 combines--an International and a John Deere. They had planned on 2 more, but they couldn't get them running. But it was different. It was dark and my camera battery was low, so I didn't get a great pic--and only of the International. That's the one that won, though. The John De

I don't understand it* Updated on Sunday

:Authors Note::::::: I realize that this isn't the original post....however, I decided that the point I was trying to make was taken by everyone loud and clear, and there's no sense in leaving my past rant in place. I'm not sorry that I posted it here, but I don't see the need to keep it up. I made my opinions known, and everyone's had the chance to read what I said and to form their own opinion. I love this site and I always will. I would never do anything to take away from the purpose of it,

Yes, I'd love some cheese with this whine

Well, I started a job Monday. No way I could possibly live on unemployment and I haven't even gotten a call in response to any resumes I have sent. So when you can't seem to get a job in your field, you have to take what you can get. So I am doing something that doesn't use any part of my brain at all. I get a list, find the products on huge warehouse shelves and move it onto a truck. Lovely. Fun. The money isn't bad--nearly what I was making in my real job. But the hours suck.   Which

Animal testing and the Joy of Gay Sex

{Paraphrased scene from Friends}   Ross to Susan as he surveys their book collection: "You guys sure have a lot of books about being a lesbian" Susan: "Yeah, well you have to pass a test or the won't let you do it"   So I was at Barnes & Noble and I realized that my own personal library was completely devoid of books about being gay. So I sauntered (I was going for a gay book after all) over to the Gay Studies section. A long with three other titles (I'm also now the proud owner of Th

3 Day Weekend!

I'm so excited about this three day weekend! I don't believe I've ever looked forward to an extra day off this much. Work is just too darn stressful lately. I'm grouchy and tired, I guess this is what real work is! I shoulda known I wouldn't get to just sit around and just makes ads, that would be too much fun! My problem? People keep getting fired and I keep getting their jobs! I am now doing what three people did two months ago. Another person is leaving in 3 weeks, on their own accord a

The Classified Ad (story)

I was thumbing through the Want Ads in the Maricopa County Tribune when this classified advertisement caught my eye. It said, "Take immediate delivery on this 1957 Chevrolet half-ton pickup truck. Will sell or swap for a hide-a-bed and thirty-five bucks. Call 602-265-5550 ring two, and ask for Bob."   Well, I called Bob up on the telephone, he says, "Hello, this is Bob speaking." I says "This here the Bob that got the pickup truck for sale?" He says, "Yeah." I says, "Where are ya?" He says,

The Boy (story)

Well I found him sitting on a Sioux City park bench one cold November afternoon. Me.. I was just drifting thru. He said he was 14 and he was running away from home, and no he wouldn't mind some company. So I sat down and smoked my last cigarette he pulled out a candy bar. And we started talking about the how's and the why's and we watched the first snow start to fall. I said "Hey little dude", now I know the whole world looks a lot better to you now, but you know, you gotta hold onto your home c

The Little Brown Sparrow (poem)

One green April morning when I was a young boy I lay by the window watching the rain And I wondered if ever the sun would come shining So I could go somewhere to play   Then down from the sky flew a little brown sparrow And he landed on a branch of an old willow tree And he sit there watching as I lay wondering Just the little brown sparrow and me   Then he looked in my window and spied his reflection There was the willow, there was the sky And he wondered if ever the sun w

Alferd Packer (poem)

Alfred Packer the guy who had a few friends for dinner back in 1874 was the only person in the U.S.A. who was ever convicted of cannibalism. Late in January of 1874 the 6 men found shelter and food at Chief Ouray's camp near Montrose, Colorado. On February 9th, Packer and five companions left the camp, contrary to the advice of Ouray. Packer arrived alone at the Los Pinos Indian Agency, near Saguache, Colorado on April 16th, 1874. He was fat and had plenty of money. He admitted that he had live

Yeah, I

So, a little bit stressed right now. Deep breaths and all that. Every year at the beginning of the summer, I get like this because I get seriously busy. Things even out somewhere in the middle, and I get a chance to breathe again. And then every year, just before Labor Day, everything goes dead in the water because all anyone can think about is getting their kids back into school. But, as soon as they

Breaking the chains

I've experienced a moment of pure and total bliss......I won't get into the details, but I can finally say that I decided to take the opportunity to do something for myself and stop the cycle of stress that came with a really bad decision. (sigh of relief) I would just like to say right now that if there's any author out there who needs some help whether it's with editing or just someone to look at their work and get an honest review or some advice, I'm always willing to help. It's true that I'm

NFC Preview

NFC 2006 Preview/Predictions     NFC North   Bears- the Bears have improved steadily over the last 3 years. With a draft that improved their depth on both sides of the ball and 22 starters back from their division winning team of last season, I expect them to continue this trend. If they can add some punch to their passing game, they could make some noise in the playoffs. They are the team to beat in the North.   Vikings- the Vikes have made some major moves bringing in Brad Johnson, a lo

I am the penguin queen!

(I am, Joe made it so. )   Right, so just a little update for anyone who cares. I'm still totally swamped but I think I'm calming down a bit. And sorry Michael, but I haven't met a gay guy (that I know of) yet. I'm still sort of getting used to this whole being able to look straight out over the horizon thing. I can't tell you how weird it is to not have mountains. But all the water is awesome, and it's been like 10 degrees cooler here than in WV, and we all know how happy that makes me.

Justin and my 5th "Anniversary", lol

Okay, so Sunday the 27th was exactly 5 years ago that school started in 6th grade and my life was made better by the love and friendship of Justin. We've had some bad times, none of which I'd like to mention were n the B.L. (Before Lorena) days, but yeah. Soooooooo, to honor our little "anniversary", I wanted to do something special. So, I bought this friendship frame at Walmart and then I went back into my photo archive and made a photo collage of photos of him and me together. There were 4 p

I really don't know...

I'm not to sure of what just happened. I mean, I assumed that my mother started questioning a lot of things lately and she probably figured out, but I didn't really know.   She came into my room and just had a rather short talk about god and miracles and then some little stories she had about miracles that happened to her. When she was done with those she handed me a Relic of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos and said that if I said a certain prayer while I held it, then it had a healing power. Sh
