Bye Bye Yahoo!!

Tonight, I bid those greedy bastards over at Yahoo farewell. As you may have heard, today marks the first day that they will charge users if they want to use their email service via a POP email client. In my opinion, this is just another step in the downward spiral of Yahoo. Sure, their seach engine used to be a major centerpiece of the Internet. However, with bigger, faster, and better search engines such as Google and Teoma, Yahoo's search engine has become pretty useless. So, I will continue to give my Yahoo email address to online services I don't trust and will only check it when I am expecting mail from it. Screw them.

We bought lots of groceries tonight at Ukrops. We also picked up one of those Brita filter containers. The packaging claims that it's the "Original Pitcher", however, I always thought Molly was the original pitcher. (har dee har har)

Work continues to teach me new things about programming dynamic database-driven web pages. We've resurrected an old project that tracks job candidates for Human Resources. The first time we (Jack and I) worked on this system, I didn't know very much about asp and therefore didn't get to play with much of the asp code. Now that I've programmed a few other asp systems, I'm seeing how much work Jack put into it before. It's pretty cool. I'm really enjoying learning all of this. I just hope that I can somehow translate all of this knowledge over to SQL/mySQL at some point. I mean, who really wants to run a Windows-based web server? Not me.
