I really enjoy Google+. I’m just saying.

An amazing friendship
September 14, 2011 by ratcheer.
I came across this and had to share. It is heartwarming and different. It has a deeper message, though - do not buy products that are made with palm oil.

Am I retired?
December 4, 2009 by ratcheer.
Well, it finally happened. After 33 1/2 years of continuous employment, all in the IT industry, I became caught up in the recession of 2009 and am now unemployed. I am wondering if I am unintentionally retired. I have applied for several posted job openings that seemed to me to be a good fit for my skills, but to date, not a single one of them has even so much as responded, much less given me an interview. This is very frustrating.
I have been at home for a month, now. I am bored. I believe I still have a lot to contribute. I wonder where this is going?

Wireless Internet
September 9, 2007 by ratcheer.
I am having a pretty good time with my wireless Internet connection. I am using the Opera Mini browser on my Samsung A717. I have found mobile-friendly apps or links for Gmail, Google Maps, Fandango, National Weather Service, and several other interesting things.
My AT&T 3G and HSDPA connections seem to be very fast and reliable.
Overall, a good experience, so far. I haven’t gotten a bill yet, though.

My week
September 1, 2007 by ratcheer.
It has been an eventful week.
On Monday, my doctor reported that I have a condition I didn’t previously know about. So, I have to completely revamp my diet and take another medication. Bleh!
Also on Monday, our new cell phones arrived. Tommy and I got Samsung A717’s and Carolyn got a Nokia 6102i. Today, I signed Tommy and me up for internet access and text messaging. It is hard to figure out how to use them, effectively. It is exciting, but puzzling.
It looks like my Braves are falling out of the pennant and wild card races. Alabama plays, tonight, though!
I used D. R. Harris Arlington English shaving soap with an Israeli blade all week. It is excellent. Next week, I will use George F. Trumper’s Coconut Oil soap with a Swedish Gillette.
I need to post more often and have better focused posts!

Hello world!
March 20, 2007 by ratcheer.
This is my first post. So, I am obviously new to this. But, here goes!
My name is Tim and I am 55 years old. I am married and have two sons. I am an Oracle Database Administrator at a large financial corporation. I have been an IT professional for 31 years.
I am interested in lots of things. I will talk about them as the mood strikes me.
I hope I can be interesting enough that others will want to have dialogs.
Until later,
Tim
