A Day Off...

I have a reprieve from work. It's kind of nice. It's been a fun day. My keister has taken permanent root to the futon. I've learned a few things today, too. There are virtually no good free ERD (Entity relationship diagram) tools available for Linux or Mac OS. The only ones I could find are DBDesignerFork, MySQL Workbench (which doesn't work well for Linux), and a really weak plug-in for Eclipse called Amateras ERD. Edit: For ease of use and availability, SQLite Manager gets honorable mention too.

Apparently baby mandarin ducks jump out of trees...

I also made dinner for the first time in a long time; rice noodles with peanut sauce. A tasty, quick (15 minutes) meal, assuming you are obscure enough (as I am) to regularly keep rice noodles on hand, and could happily replace your blood with peanut butter despite the inevitable artery clogging that would ensue. I say it's worth it for peanut butter blood.

Fordham Copperhead is tasty...

The end.

The Girl

Her birthday was yesterday. :-) It's just a shame she has to have this infernal headache right now. It's been going on for several days.

On the way home from work, I stopped at Godiva and bought her some chocolate to supplement her other present, which she knew about. We later went to Outback for dinner, which was quite tasty, and the ice cream store, which is phenomenal.

Afterward, we went home and watched Planet Earth in the evening, which is a pretty cool show. Great White Sharks are just awesome. That's the marine biologist in me coming out, though.
