Testing Qumana

I'm testing a new blogging application I found tonight called http://qumana.com.  It recognizes most popular blogging APIs, including Blogger, MovableType, Typepad, WordPress, TextPattern, Livejournal, Bloxsom, Serendipity, and many others. 


Qumana blogging application


Its downfall is I can't get it to work with the Opera Community blogging system.  But... for now, I'll try it out. As many blogs and testbeds as I have, this may be a great way to keep track of them all under one roof.


It also partners with Ad-Genta to place keyword driven ads in your blog posts.  I don't think I want to subject you guys to that.  If I can get away without doing so, I will.  But I want to post one ad just to see what happens.

Daddy's Girl, Esq.

There is a very high-powered female attorney at our law firm. She is amazing. A very successful litigator, author of several respected legal treatises, scaler of Mount Kilamanjaro, mover of legal mountains large and small. A woman who swims in the most elegant of social waters. You get the idea.

Her office used to be next to my boss's office (the Bossette). What always amazed me about this woman was that as busy and hectic as her docket was, and as many irons as she had in the fire, and as feared as she might have been by her adversaries, when her father would call, I'd hear her answer the phone, "Hi, Daddy!"

It was during those times that I had the most respect for her. Not because she was a successful attorney. Not because she was an accomplished athlete. Not because she occupied the highest rung of the local social ladder. But because when she was in the company of her father she ceased to be anything except his little girl.

Total Meltdown

You know, it's a losing battle. Trying to get people morons to understand that they need to either (1) empty that thimble-full of coffee left in the bottom of the pot into the sink and just put the pot aside; or (2) start a fresh pot.

Apparently, neither choice is adequate for the lazybones in my office. I came into the kitchen on my way out and saw the festering, bubbling black goo (and it wasn't oil in that there pot) and then the acrid smell hit me like a ton of bricks. I quickly got the pot off the burner and started it soaking in the sink.

I then found a piece of yellow copy paper and the only writing instrument within 200 yards: A big red Marks-A-Lot. I went to town:

I think I can speak for everyone else when I say that I don't feel like dying in a fire.

TURN IT OFF.

It's not that hard. Really. It's not.


Sheesh!

Not Cool

It is SO not cool to stay at your office (even if you are on the clock, billing time) rather than attend a partner's funeral.

I'm just sayin.

Build it and They Will Come!

No more ambulance chasing is necessary, at least not for a Southwest Houston law firm. Read about the drunk driver who crashed into the law office building around 2 AM yesterday morning (right around closing time)!
