State of My Life Address

1. Work is fun and busy. Two days ago I got the questions to be asked in a new survey (Part II of the Ritz survey), and yesterday I recognized that I needed to account for a new possibility in displaying the survey. Previously we had questions whose answers would determine which questions to skip on a different page. Now we have a question that needs to skip the entire page. It took me about 6 hours realtime (not Rob CPU time) to determine a solution.

   Today I need to create logic to display a new question type. Hopefully that will take a lot less than 6 hours.

2. My "injury" thing on my chin is back. I made an appointment with a dermatologist, but the appointment is not until 4 December, by which time the injury will be gone. Basically I *barely* nicked my chin with a razor and it slowly gets big and infected and then heals itself. We've put neosporin on it with no effect. This time we are puttin Tea Tree Oil on it. I haven't noticed any effect.

3. Wende and I have been fighting about what to do with the money she has invested in a money market account. I want to move the money to Jason's brokerage so we can make trades with it very easily and so I have super close contact with what happens to the account.

   As I write this I realize that I just want super close access to the account right now, and I might lose interest later (no pun intended). So maybe we should just go with one of the "Plans" Merrill Lynch has and stay with them.

   I just want to buy into the market now because all everything is down due to various factors. I believe it will all rally again once the presidency is decided and the new year begins.

   Wow. I finished the Ritz II survey today. So awesome. I had to create a new question type which allows essentially a set of questions to have a two dimensional set of answers. Very awesome. It allows for each question to have up to 10 x 10 array of answers. It's weird and cool. nevermind.

   So anyway it's done and I'm super impressed with it. This is a survey created in 3 days instead of the usual 2 weeks.

   Yay!!

   Wende and I are going to see Stacy and Rodderick tonight. See ya!

   Oh!!

   I'm a lot closer on the days old counter. It now stores cookies to remember what date someone wants to use. It doesn't properly delete the cookies though.
