Happy Easter
We had a very nice easter weekend. Everyone came over on Friday night, to play some poker and have dinner. That was a lot of fun. We got to go for a long walk yesterday while Mark skated with Happie and wore him out. Then we watched a festive movie, The Passion of the Christ. It was pretty good, very gruesome, but good. Hope you all had a good weekend too.
No commentsTy the Budgie
Staysea and I picked up a new addition to our flock. A budgie named Ty. He/She (we’re not sure yet) has every color I’ve ever seen on a budgie. He’s very young, so I’m starting his training. He hangs out with me on my shoulder when I’m working on the computer, and playing XBox. Ty particularily likes Mercenaries, he asks me to play it all the time. Staysea doesn’t believe that but it is true.
No commentsA budgie friend for Jason
In my opinion everyone needs a budgie! And now my very own Jason has one too!
Meet Ty! He/She (too young to tell yet) is a 6 week old beauty of a bird I bought for Jason on Friday.
We’re training ‘him’ to be a friendly little budgie friend like Wynnie. Today he spent the entire day hanging out with Jason playing X-Box and doing computer stuff. You’d think the poor bird would be bored to death and not want to be friends but he entertained himself by nibbling on Jasons hair.
I’ve clipped his wings to make it easier to train him. I dont normally believe in clipping wings but this guy is so young they’ll grow back quickly and since Jason isn’t very experienced with bird training it’ll be easier and safer for both of them.
We’ll see how it goes. Next time you come over you might be assaulted by not only Timmy and Wynnie but Ty too. It’ll be great times!

I’ve been using Google Desktop searching for a while now, and find it invaluable for finding information on my computer. But I was always curious as to why you couldn’t search your MSN Messenger history, until today.
Today, I discovered that when you download the Google Desktop SDK, the examples section, has the code for an Messenger indexing plugin. I only downloaded the kit to try and write my own, but this is a much easier. Once I compiled it and registered, indexed Messenger history. Very nice.
Here is the compiled component for install, if you don’t have Developer tools.

Bill Gates, now truly the Black Knight
I must admit, that despite my distain for Microsoft’s business practices, Bill Gates has done a considerable amount of charity work and donated a lot of money to good causes. So kudos to you Bill, I wouldn’t mind being given the title, Knight of The British Empire. I’ll just settle for Jedi Knight for now I suppose.
No commentsCNN.com - Bill Gates ‘humbled’ at knighthood - Mar 2, 2005:
Proclaiming himself “humbled and delighted,” Microsoft founder Bill Gates has received an honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II.
The accolade allows the recipient to use “KBE” after his name, but not “Sir” in front of it.
Online Shoe Shopping!!!
I’ve desided to post possible bridesmaid shoes to the website instead of emailing them all to Mel. Both are from Nine West if you want a pair! lol
