Google apparently is too cheap to update their SSL certificate >>
Apparently I can't code and drink at the same time -damn!
Either I'm getting old (heh, not likely) or I'm turning into a light weight. Tonight after I got home, I decided to seize an opportunity to work on my side project,
www.pytheus.com
(a personal web assistant), like I do some nights and weekends when time affords it. As with other nights, I like to drink a beer or 2 because I can't do that at work, while I code... makes the time go faster. An inebriated coder is a happy coder, come on people, you know the drill.
Last night at the grocery store, my wife pointed out this seasonal beer, she thought fitting,
Ebenezer Ale
. Bah I said... then I bought it. It's actually not that bad. Tastes good, full-bodied, and all proceeds go towards running Tiny Tim out of town.
So tonight I sit down in front of my computer with grumpy beer in hand ready to code and get a lot of work done. Before I knew it, I was mistyping, forgetting simple things and basically not thinking straight. At that point, I started drinking! I'm kidding. I was able to get some things done and I'm not disappointed in my work, just in my ability to drink.
Feel free to call me a wuss and/or point out non-alcoholic beers that might get me a buzz in 3 or 4 drinks rather than my one. In all actuality, I didn't get good sleep last night and I am a bit tired so factor those in before you judge me. Hell, this blog entry isn't going very smooth either... I must still be buzzing... I need to go to bed.

Ouch!! Maybe it is father time.. ?? But don't feel bad it happens to the best of drinkers.. My problem is that I sometimes have a hard time drinking just "ONE" beer.. and then going to have an intelligent conversation with co-workers. I immediately get this lisp.. that makes me look I just killed a half-rack or something... I am sure its all physchological... because I seem to talk just fine when drinking here at home and conversing with my two year old. ;)

This must also explain why I found dirty green socks in the dirty whites instead of the dirty colors right beside it. No, that happens all the time. I love my cheap date! One shot and we're both passes out for the night!
