The Ramblings of a Simple Man

  • Thursday League Roll Off

    I have to say, in spite of all the ups and downs of the season, I enjoyed this season very much. I have learned much through out the season, least of all, how to keep your emotions steady. I have a tendency of being very hard on myself if things don’t go my way which…

  • Sunday League Roll Off

    Last night was the roll off for Sunday league. This has been one of the most fun leagues I’ve bowled in yet. I didn’t have a great season by any stretch of the imagination, but I still very much enjoyed this league, simply because we are good friends with most of the people in the…

  • Summary of my season

    This last season (bowling, of course) has been one of HUGE ups and downs. Sadly, mostly downs. I’ve struggled all season with release problems, accuracy problems and timing problems. Recently, there has been a glimmer of hope at salvaging the last quarter of this season after my visit with Mo Pinel, of MoRich Bowling, in…

  • Newport, KY and Mo Pinel

    Okay, so just a week or so ago, I blogged about my itinerary for the upcoming month. Well, yesterday being my birthday, we made the trip up to Newport, KY. After getting quite a late night trying to get some last minute work out of the way before we left, we were up at 7am…

  • Fugate’s In-house Handicap Tournament

    Tonight was the teams night for the in-house tournament at Fugate’s. I didn’t actually have a team organized for the night, but I had to be over there anyway, seeing as I’m the lane guy at the moment. So, I hauled my ass over there and got 16 lanes ready. I figured we’d probably need…

  • Bring on March!

    Okay, so March is already here. Sue me! 😛 This month will prove to be a rather busy one for me. This month I turn 30, I have to submit my application the United States Citizen and Immigration Service (USCIS) to have the conditional status removed from my Permanent Residence Visa, I will travelling to…

  • My arsenal

    For quite some time now, I’ve been intending to post pictures of my arsenal. I’ve FINALLY got around to getting those pictures taken and here they are!

  • First 600 of the season

    It’s taken me 14 weeks of league, but I FINALLY broke the 600 mark! I finished the night with a 634, which seems to about where I tend to finish if I bowl 600’s.  Weird. So I started the night with my Twisted Fury, shooting 10 and 5 and standing on 20, making my lay…

  • It always the simplest thing!

    I’ve been trying for MONTHS to get the very excellent XDebug PHP extension, written and maintained the PHP Jedi Master, Derick Rethans. XDebug offers some serious debugging capabilities to PHP that are second to none. It also offers some excellent profiling tools, which I should really make better use of in development. It’s easy to see…

  • Christmas Eve No Tap Tournament

    Okay, almost. The tournament was actually on December 23, but what was I gonna say? Christmas Eve Eve No Tap Tournament? I didn’t think so… Anyway, we held a no tap tournament at Fugate’s Bowl-a-rama. We didn’t get quite the same turn out as the Thanksgiving day Tournament, but it was a still a good…

Got any book recommendations?
