As I mentioned in my last post, I’d planned on buying a car, then decided to wait a year or so so that I could save up the money to do it the way I preferred, i.e. max 3 year loan that was no more than $15,000. Alas, my current […]
One of my goals for this year was to buy a new to me vehicle. My current car, a 2003 Chevy Malibu, isn’t a bad car. She doesn’t even have 80,000 miles on her yet. She gets me reliably from point A to B in town, I put new tires on […]
Several stores have started offering curbside pickup service, where they do your shopping for you based on the list you give them. Broadly, the services work by you going to the store’s website, making your selections from what they have available on the website, picking the date and time that […]
Deciding this year’s goals has been harder than expected. I don’t have any bigger things that come strongly to mind for things I want to attempt to get done this year. And I found I did not want to keep carrying over the same goals year by year, because they […]
2017 was a year of so many ups and downs, it’s hard to even sum it all up. It had already started on a low note and had more crap happen throughout, but also some really good stuff too. I guess I’ll start with the goals and how those went. […]

We’ve used Zend Frameworks very nifty Form Collection element in multiple applications to deal with forms where there may be one or more repeating fields. For example, our custom contact list function allows users to add search groups and rows to those groups. The Form Collection goodness made it eas(ier) […]
Last month I was able to refinance my house. In doing so, I was able to blow away all of my debts, sans mortgage (of course). It did basically “reset” me in terms of my mortgage, but only to what it was when I refinanced it last time. But the […]
Not a ton left to get done, with most of what’s left being “do by the end of the year”. Hmmm…I need to add new stuff, huh? 🙂 Hopefully, if things go well, I will have quite a few new ones for next month! Financials Mortgage balance below $80,000 Student […]
