Post Memorial Day wrap-up…

Posted at 12:02 PM • One Comment

Well folks; the dust has settled and the holiday has passed. First off… I blew the diet completely out of the water for the entire weekend. Velocity diet failure. I had a great first 11 days; and then I started messing up. I apparently can’t handle adding ANY type of solid food without going off of the schedule. So, its time to jump back on the horse and give it a go again….

Otherwise it was an amazing weekend; I did some work on my recording computer to get it back up and running again so expect some new music to be posted in a week or two. Also, I got my first sunburn of the season. Summer is on!!!!

Velocity Diet – Restart; new Day 1

Posted at 7:53 AM • 2 Comments

Hmm… it’s been a few days without any update… so, heres the story…  This past weekend I was involved in a wedding party and had to travel quite a bit.  I was not fully prepared to manage my diet needs so I ended up just eating normally all weekend.  I tried to keep it healthy, and I think I did because before my weekend I weighed 372, and today I weigh 374 – which i am sure is almost all just water retention.  SO, I am back on the plan, but I figured that I would start counting over again. Lessons Learned?  Yes, plan well in advance to be able to work your diet around events such as weddings, etc.

Also, I got a twitter account this past weekend.  It’s kind of fun.  http://twitter.com/billbates if you want to follow me.

**********************************************

OK, I modified one of my favorite extensions to work with FireFox 3

It is called Make IMG Tag… The original plugin is here:

(which was a mod on yet another extension :) )

Well, I use it daily… And I just upgraded to FireFox3 and it doesn’t work there… so, I patched the extension to work with FireFox 3 and I will make it available to you here

To install this extension “right click,save as” to your desktop, then drag the XPI file into any FireFox window.
