Sex Rules, as does Cubensis. and other stuff including Grateful Dead downloads.

Ok, I suppose there isn't really much point in talking about how much sex rules because lets face it, we all know this.

Went and saw Cubensis last night. Hot Buttered Bread (their website is still under construction) opened for them and appeared to be a pretty smok'en band. I only saw part of one song because I was talking with Tom R. who's my wife's good friend's husband and the keyboard player for Cubensis. It is so cool to have a local Grateful Dead tribute/cover band here in LA. They really help make living here bearable.

The thing about that is that while I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, I realized I could be WAY happier without the HELLISH heat of the greater Los Angeles area summers living in Edmonds, WA!! (The City of Edmonds is located in south Snohomish County on the shores of Puget Sound approximately 14 miles north of Seattle.) We're living in the South Bay (San Pedro/RPV) now because sadly, its only here in LA that Mrs. Beavis can get the respect (and of course the Money) she deserves doing what she does.

Anyway, got up this morning and realized that I hadn't posted since Friday, so I'm like, doing it now. ;)

Also while blogging, I'm adding the info files from all the shows I've recently downloaded to my info files folder. I need to publish them (the new ones) on my web page too, but now that its hosted on verizon, its a bit more of a pain then before. If anyone out there wants to talk about some trades etc., PLEASE feel free to e-mail me!

Oh, just thought... if anyone wants to chat with me, you can typically find me in #SeattleChat on EfNet. (www.efnet.net)

Welp, think I'll wrap it up for now. Gotta eat some breakfast and watch some more Stargate SG-1 Episodes on DVD. (Showing em all to Mrs. Beavis to get her caught up.)

Oh yeah, btw, I NEED A JOB! (Windows programmer, C++ etc.)

Now that I have the whole world's attention, I should mention that I am in need of gainful employment! My typical cover letter goes something like this;

In short, I have 16+ years of paid programming/IT experience in a variety of environments, with a diverse range of applications written including (but not limited to) Image Display ActiveX Control, Database front and back-end applications, Voice, Telephony and Communication software, and various DOS and Windows utilities.

I have over six years of [Visual] C++ and five that include use of MFC. I also have about 2.5 years of ATL and the same or more years of STL. I have about 4.5 years of Visual Basic programming and 2-3 years of Borland Delphi experience. I also have some experience in UML Use Case, Sequence and Collaboration diagrams and documentation as well as recent experience with MS SQL Server and Crystal Reports 8 and 9.

I have a long history with PC programming. I taught myself BASIC when DOS was at version 1.1, and in 1987 I taught myself C. I later got a certificate in C/C++ programming. I have taught myself C# and am actually working on a VSS-like Source Code Control application thats been written in 100% C#.

There is not an environment or language that I have not become quickly proficient and productive in and there is not a job so small that it does not get my 110% dedication.

I would love a chance to talk with you about your company's needs, and where my skill set might fit into those needs.

*** end.

The URL to my resume is: http://mysite.verizon.net/mrbeavis/skfsopht.html Which of course contains a link to the Word version.. which I actually need to update.... ok, thats done.

SO, if that looks interesting to anyone, by all means, shoot me an e-mail and lets talk!

Thanks for watching. ;D

Mrs. Beavis is bummen OR Acid Reflux Sux!

So Mrs. Beavis went to the Dr. today... found out that what looks and sounds like pneumonia is actually to do with her nasty-ass case of acid-reflux!

She's got the wettest sounding cough you'd ever want to hear and he is saying its all cuz her tummy is all fooked up. I think she's allergic to LA. Heaven knows she was sick MUCH less often in Seattle. It could of course be the stress of her job, which she loves (for the most part). But of course "just cause you love your job doesn't always mean no stress" as a friend said.

This is cool.

This is definately cool. Blogger.com/Blogspot.com I mean. Definately easy to use and stuff. I think I'm going to get really into this.

Well, here I am world!

heh, ok, so I'm now officially a member of the uh, blogging generation or something.

I wonder if I'll have anything really profound to contribute to the world, or if this will all be just a bunch of my mental diarrhea. *hmm hmm heh* I said diarrhea.
