While installing the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 this evening I came across this:
("Download complete. You can now disconnect from the Internet.")
What on Earth possessed Microsoft to put this one in there?
When was the last time you disconnected from the Internet after downloading something?
Soooo 90’s
Even on a more local level, on Main Street for example (yes, Main Street) there is a gas station, fire station, grocery store, pharmacy, card store, numerous tanning salons and numerous pizza companies.
When I’m not at my computer (rare) I’ve been finding myself at the local real estate office.
Two doors down the street is an office that has been a part of Munhall for about…. ever. The fact that it’s a Real Estate office and occasionally some real estate is bought, sold or whatever is really only a technicality.
During the work week at 10 am and 4pm (and before 10, between 10 and 4, and after 4) a group of local men of varying ages gather there to put the world, and each other to rights.
It’s like a daily roast for all involved. There are no holds barred.
It’s too bad that so few of the ideas born in the back of that office make it out of the door, surely the World would be a better place for it.
Oh, there is coffee too. Lots and lots of coffee, half as many do-nuts as there can be, a third of the muffins there should be and never enough creamer.
Well, I’ve done it. I’ve started another blog, because I don’t have enough already.
I guess this is more an outlet for ramblings, thoughts and anything else that comes to mind.
I’ve picked a theme, it took a while but I like this one.
The domain name wasn’t too easy. I asked around the Pittsburgh blogging community for some domain suggestions. Cynthia suggested I use my name but my surname isn’t too easy to spell and remember. Hopefully my first and middle works a little better.
So, why ‘AndrewAlan’?
Well, it’s my name, or at least part of it. Though known globally as ‘Andy’ I was Christened ‘Andrew’. Alan is my middle name, after my father.
So, read on. Maybe you’ll learn a little about me, who I am, what I am, what I do. Maybe I’ll learn something about you too.
Give me time, this blog might evolve some. I’m still getting used to WordPress 2.5 and I still have to get a few plugins to work and get the links etc. set up. It’ll happen though.
