Timbecca: The Blog: January 2008

http://timbecca.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

News, views and mews from Timbecca Manor. Thursday, January 31, 2008. I've been checking weather.com a lot lately because it's the Midwest and it's Winter and I like to know what kind of freezing temperature, storm, or crazy bursts of wind I'll be driving through on the way home. The weather.com site has lots of banner ads that show icons of little dancing people. Have you seen these ads? You may have to scroll down the page or refresh it a few times to catch the dancers.).

Timbecca: The Blog: Don't Tell Me!

http://timbecca.blogspot.com/2008/02/dont-tell-me.html

News, views and mews from Timbecca Manor. Thursday, February 21, 2008. I know everyone's talking about it, but please don't mention to me who won the Illinois state wrestling championships last weekend. At least not for the next eight to ten weeks. Have you ever recorded a game on TV and hoped to watch it later, all the while trying to avoid any mention of the outcome? I'm going to have to do this with the wrestling DVD, only I'll have to avoid it for 8-10 weeks. Luckily, high school wrestling is not...

Just Tim: September 2009

http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 29, 2009. A day in the life of a community college librarian:. A student comes up to me at the reference desk and asks if I can help him with a library quiz. I gave a library presentation to his remedial reading class last week, and now the class has to take a ridiculously easy quiz on what I covered. The questions on the quiz are things that I emphasized, again and again and again, verbally, with a PowerPoint, and with two worksheets. Later, I run into his instructor and tell her abou...

Just Tim: Homophobia and the Church

http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009/11/homophobia-and-church.html

Monday, November 2, 2009. Homophobia and the Church. Sometimes I can't decide which blog to use for a certain post. Since this deals primarily with religion, I posted it to my Timicism blog:. John Shelby Spong: Honorary Timicist. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Let Me Insulate You. Homophobia and the Church. Musings of a Minor Mennonite. Lorem ipsum dolor sit. I Can Has Cheezburger. Shit My Dad Says (on Twitter).

Just Tim: June 2009

http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 18, 2009. What Part of STUPID Do You Not Understand? I know I don't have to worry about calling her stupid on my blog, because I know she will never, ever read it. This is, after all, someone who refuses to turn on a computer. Even during a college class. That meets in a COMPUTER LAB. Trying to put her at ease about the online indexes, I told her how much of an advantage she would have using our databases if she already was familiar with the Reader's Guide. What part of no. I let her stew ...

Just Tim: May 2009

http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 8, 2009. Setting: End-of-the-semester lunch at work. Very social atmosphere. CW: There's a yankee, an oriole, a cardinal, and a cub. Me: When you say, "Yankee" do you mean someone from the North or any American? CW: From New York. Me: A New Yorker? Me; Oh, the Yankees! Is it a fan, or one of the players? CW: Yeah, it's a player. [Rolling her eyes.] They're in uniform and carrying bats! Yankee, Oriole, Cardinal, Cub. Me: Oh, the teams. I thought you meant the actual. Me: I wasn't over. Ladies ...

Just Tim: Tim-Alone No More

http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009/11/tim-alone-no-more.html

Saturday, November 21, 2009. So I started this blog a year and a half ago, a week after my ex moved out. At the time, I called it "Tim Alone" because it was in opposition to Timbecca. Which had been our joint blog. I chose the URL http:/ tim-alone.blogspot.com. (This was because Timal One. Was already taken.). So it looks like the only option is to create yet another new blog. So I introduce The Timblog. And the occasional rant on. Thanks for reading. Both of you. Tim Alone is officially retired.

Just Tim: Parsing URLs

http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2008/03/parsing-urls.html

Tuesday, March 25, 2008. I was trying to think of what to call this new blog. I wanted something that contrasted with my other blog, Timbecca, which had been a combination of mine and my wife's names (Tim Rebecca = timbecca.) The most obvious choice was Tim Alone, since that most accurately describes the state of this blog while keeping the lyric rhythm of "timbecca," or something like that. So I moved on. My next idea was to put Tim Alone in the URL, http:/ timalone. What are the odds? It turns out it's...

Timbecca: The Blog: February 2008

http://timbecca.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

News, views and mews from Timbecca Manor. Monday, February 25, 2008. I See Illiterate People. There's a bit of graffiti in the men's room in my library that delights me. In one of the stalls, someone drew a ghost saying the word "Boo! Right next to that, someone added, "Wow, you literally scared the crap out of me! Blew my top" when what they really meant was, "I really. Blew my top."). I see typos. They're everywhere, and most of them don't even know they're typos. Then this week I received an email fro...
