Tuesday Too Tuesday Too

1.) Is the justice system in the US really fair? Why, or why not?

I’m reminded of an article I read recently in the The New York Times Sunday magazine section on the 4th District Circuit Court. The article was about 3 weeks ago, so it’s no longer available free online. The court was “painted” as ultra conservative. But that doesn’t necessarily make it unfair? If nine times out of ten this court rules (overruling lower court decisions including monetary awards by jury) on the side of business, or the state, then the process is at the very least skewed. While the country focuses on war, Bush will push through his nominations for even more conservative judges to replace those retiring from the 4th Circuit Court bench. But, you’re not talking about the Supreme Court. That’s true; however, most cases from the 4th circuit appealed to the Supreme Court are not accepted, and the 4th Circuit Court ruling stands.

2.) In a crisis are you a leader, or a follower? Why do you take that role?

I think it depends on the particular crisis. If I have knowledge that will facilitate/render a quick solution I will take charge. If I’m with someone I trust I might follow their lead rather then assuming the leadership role. Why? Hell, I don’t know, after all my degree is in psychology.

3.) Is there some reason for your madness? What is it?

Today “in my neck of the woods” it’s the glorious spring weather. Tomorrow it will probably be due to my sunburn.

Tomorrow

Here’s what I’m thinking: If anybody has a question that they’d really like people to respond to for the Tuesday Too tomorrow, leave it in today’s comment, and I’ll include it in the Too. FYI: if you don’t know, or have forgotten, I usually post the Too around 5 AM eastern standard time on Tuesday morning.

What else are you thinking?

On Thursday I’m going to be upgrading my laptop to a 20 gig hard drive; I’m excited. 20 gigs on a laptop! However, there always seems to be some glitch in getting data from here to there, so a little bit of breath holding may be required. Saw The Mask yesterday; god I love computer graphics, such amazing stuff. Speaking of movies, they’re filming Ladder 49 in my neighborhood this spring. Maybe I’ll get a glance at John Travolta in his buffed up state. I fell in love with him in Saturday Night Fever.

Saturday Night Fever, how old are you anyway?

None of your business; however if you’re really interested I’ve probably said it somewhere already. Maybe I better put that search engine back on my site. I saw Saturday Night Fever when it first came out. It was part of perhaps the best Christmas I ever had. My lover and I went “up the road” with friends to the Zoo in Salisbury MD, then to the movie, and topped it off with dinner at a Chinese restuarant. I love the fact that Chinese holidays are different then the holidays I celebrate. My absolute favorite food is an Ethiopian dish called Kitfo; I think I told you that somewhere else too. I really must put that search engine back.

Getting archives back

I swear; the next time I post it will not be this boring crap on getting things right, or not.

Hallalooyahhhhhh!

Back in the swing, “just” had to choose new template, publish, go back and paste into template my old/updated template, and publish again. *sheech* One positive thing came out this [crapola]; I’ve got blogrolling going here now.

Trying out blogrolling

Out of frustration, I’ve implemeanted blogrolling. Prior to this I spent 2 hours on the net trying to figure out blogger/pyra’s api stuff, soap, etc on set template. AAAAAaccccck! I sure hope this works, because if it doesn’t I’ll be looking for alternative publishing. FYI: I can’t use Moveable Type, because barrysworld doesn’t have Perl. So that said and done, here goes.

*Censored screaming and shouting*

The ******* thing still does not work.

Blogger Frustration

Testing to see if I can publish at all.

So I can publish, but nothing changes on the right side of my template no matter what I do over there. GRRRR! *pounding head on table*. How can it continue to publish without going through my template? Damnit!

And another thing, something I’ve done has now allowed Netscape 4x to list the archive files, which I’ve never been able to make happen *holding head in hands*.

Boy now you’ve gone and done it!

Hmmm… as a last resort I’ve changed my template on my host server, and will now try to publish here with blogger. If all goes well that will mean for some reason Blogger is ignoring the right content tags on my template.

Well?

Nope that doesn’t work, which means blogger is reading and overwriting the right content tags, but it won’t accept the changes to the template I’ve made. The changes exist in the template itself, but don’t publish. Clueless in Baltimore? Anybody got any suggestions?
