As a follow up to Crisis Level Epsilon...

I went to court today with my wife to attempt to get some of the charges dismissed as a result of my own mistakes.  The judge listened intently as I explained how the last couple of months had gone between the gallstones and the kidney stones and everything else.  I made sure to emphasize that this was my responsibility, period.

I like to think that I work in a progressive industry.  I like to think that we try to reach out to our clients in ways that will reach them.

It turns out that I'm right.  I have a normal set of websites that I scan on a regular basis which belong to our counterparts throughout the industry.  Each of them have a link to Twitter.  Each of them use Twitter on a regular basis.  Some of them use it frequently enough that I might consider it a little overboard for my taste but I'm not in their target audience.

Just a quick follow-up to my previous post.  It would appear that my plea went unheard.  This could be for any number of reasons but it appears that one of my primary social communication tools had a melt-down (aka, The Great Twitter NoReply) at around the same time.

I managed to secure funding, albeit in a less than desirable way.  I had to pay my fines in the form of a bond so that I could get a new court date.  My wife didn't have to pay and got a personal recognizance bond and a new court day as well.

Justice is neither blind nor equal.

As I began cleaning up the stack of papers and other assorted junk that has accumulated over the last few months as a result of my mounting health problems I came across a ticket that I had received two days prior to my emergency gallbladder removal.  FML.

In my attempt to be a nice citizen and try to make arrangements to get it taken care of I was told "$1538.00 or go to jail."  FML.

As I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown I was told "$1538.00 by Thursday or go to jail."

So here's why I'm posting this...

Random thought : What does your Social Profile say about you and just how accurate is it?

This popped into my head Saturday and as I waited for Star Trek to start it kept rolling around the inside of my brain.  And the more I thought about it the more I felt the need to flush out what this random thought really means.

I'm sitting at home this evening when my phone begins to ring.  I recognize the number as belonging to the school nurse.  Not quite sure why they'd be calling I was prepared for just about anything but the following.

All of my children have done it...

All of my kids, my sister, myself .. we all talk in our sleep.  It can be interesting at times, and downright frightening at others.  The youngest is now talking about paw paw, puppy dogs, and the cat.

It's quite amusing to hear her little voice knowing full well she is very much asleep.

The second Drupal Users Group for San Antonio was held Tuesday night where we discussed wysiwyg editors and how to configure the Wysiwyg API with TinyMCE for Drupal.

A little background...

In the not too distant past it was painful to implement client-side wysiwyg editors and usually required alot of file editing.  With the advent of the Wysiwyg API it is now possible to implement a number of client-side editors quickly and in a fairly painless method.

I've asked myself this very question many times in the last couple of years. Social Media is really just a buzz word being used to categorize a multitude of new tools and technologies that allow people to communicate in a nearly infinite number of ways.
