The Weather Up There
One of the recent changes I've made is the weather for the site. I used to pull an XML file from the Weather Channel's site. Not anymore. Now, I use the National Weather Service's XML service. Your tax dollars at work. Anyway, I programmed a little something that shows the current conditions and 5-day forecasts for Nashville and a couple of other places. Now I just need to find some free radar images, and I'll have a complete weather portal.
Speaking of which, I've kinda rekindled one of my old interests: developing a radio station's website. I've got ideas I'd like to use, but I have never gotten the chance to (for various reasons). There's a couple of stations in the Nashville area I'd like to try and see if they have interest.
Tomorrow, McDonald's is giving out free Southern Style Chicken Sandwiches with a drink purchase. Well, my lunch and dinner plans are set for tomorrow. I'm interested in seeing how much McDonald's has copied off Chick-Fil-A. They have a high standard to live up to. We'll see.
Last night, I volunteered at Bordeaux for a dinner theatre for residents. No, I did not act. They brought in a company to do that. We helped the seniors to the lobby and served cookies and punch. I was expecting a murder mystery, but that didn't happen. I guess they had their reasons, though. At least I earned some more time off, which is a plus.
This past weekend, I traveled over to Archville for a family reunion. If you don't know where that is, it's east of Cleveland. If you don't know where THAT is, it's east of Chattanooga. It was a bit shorter than I expected, but the food was good.
Coming up in a couple of weeks is the employee spring picnic. And in a couple of months, bonuses. I love my job.
