What the heck happened to Spongebob?

Has anyone else noticed that Spongebob seems different this season? His voice, the animation style, the audio quality, just about everything seems different. Not to mention the funny's all gone too. I'm very disappointed. It all seemed to change when Nickelodeon made the movie.

This is something I'd blog about because I watch a lot of Nick -- having three children under 7 means I watch a ton of Nickelodeon and Noggin.

Whatever.

Hi my name's Apache and I like to eat poo.

Why is Apache such a pain to use on XP? I'm no 1337 h4X0r or anything, but for crying out loud Apache is sensitive.

So's PHP for that matter.

Grrr.

Job Satisfaction

Okay, so I didn't start with background, upbringing, etc.

I'm very happy about work. The system I helped build for my client has been operational for a couple of weeks and seems to be working just fine. It's really gratifying to see the fruits of one's labor, even if we did just duplicate the functionality of Dave Winer's old service. The icing on the cake was finding out that the blog hosting service I'm using to host this weblog integrates with our new system (Settings -> Publishing -> Notify Weblogs.com). Sweet.
