May 23, 2001 on 8:35 pm | In Main |Really hot day today. It got up to 109 degrees, a record for this day. We enjoyed a very pleasant evening in the pool, with one exception. Sean slipped off of the top step and went face first into the water. He was upset for a few minutes, but quickly got back to splashing and having fun again.
Wednesday night is bill night. This a task I don’t particularly enjoy, but if I don’t keep the finances up to date at least once a week, I really get behind. One bill I didn’t have to pay this month is the car payment. The minivan is now payed off, and at least for now, we are saving the money we would have previously used for the car payment. I set up an automatic deduction from my checking account for a monthly purchase of one of the TIAA-CREF mutual funds. I highly recommend these funds. They have low minimum purchases and the lowest total fees in the mutual fund business.
I didn’t make much progess today at work on my javascript reporting utility. I tried to set up the page in frames, and when I did this, my output disappeared. For some reason, the function call to display the page would not work on the src tag for the frame. It did work when I called the function from the onload property in the frameset tag, but at this point, I had already wasted a couple of hours. Now that I’m over that stumbling block, I should make some more rapid progress. I just have to write the main sorting routines, and most of the task should be finished.
By the way, try not to get too worked up over the spelling and gramatical errors in this journal. I’m not using a spell checker. I suppose I could compose the entries in MS Word, then paste to the web form entry, but I prefer the more expedient method of typing directly into the web form. The less time I spend putting the text into the web entry, the more I’m able to write.
