Been a long time, been a long time

Well not really that long. But I was trying to get in the habit of writing something everyday. Soon I am going to be starting a programming project for a friend of mine. He is working on automating his home so that he can control lighting, hvac, and whatever else he can throw in. He is getting closer and I am really impressed. So I am going to write a some server code that will allow him to post his home status and also retrieve any state changes that need to happen. I am planning on putting a little bit time in tonight. My guess is 4 hours and I will be complete.

Why I have not worked on it to this point is that I have been doing more practicing on my bass guitar. My buddy JimKat is coming over this weekend to have band practice and I am trying to memorize the songs before he gets here so I don't need the sheet music. Worth a try. I also need to get all the music moved to my computer so that I can mix it down. I don't think that I am going to be able to get it all over. Not to mention that I have forgotten what we have changed. Not fun.

On a fishie note, one of the strip lights died on a tank, so I have to go out and purchase lights. Since the previous light was an abomination, I purchased some much better hood options as well. I went with 2 twin lamp 24 inch strips. Should provide more light to the fish. Rock.

Man, I wish I were in a band. Most of my friends either don't know how to play anything, or they play the piano like me. So fishies get more expensive the longer you have them?...hmm...so could you theoretically make money off of them if you were able to keep them alive?

Learning to play the guitar or the bass is extremely easy as compared to the piano. You could always pick it up. Then find a drummer. Piano, guitar, drummer, singer. BOOM. As for fish, I am not sure if it is cost effective to do it. It may be, if you breed as well, so that you can not pay for the initial fish. But then, it could make money... bulk food and all.
