full fridge and my porn site ownin’ buddy
Mom came to the rescue yesterday, stocking me up with tons of groceries. Seeing a full fridge was a relief unto itself.
I finished the first group of fixes for Sageth.com yesterday, finished a few more pages for Climate Skateboards, made a few small updates for the Battleship New Jersey, did a blog post on Sore Thumbs Blog, and ran into a problem with Facebook Connect code (a permissions issue and I just didn’t feel like bothering my host) for my blog (and ultimately read how much easier the Google Friend Connector is and went with that).
One of my good friends is a porn site owner. Well, sort of a porn site, celebrity nudes really – NitroVideo.com. I’ve been working for Terry for nearly two years now – doing lots of PHP, MySQL, but mostly PERL coding. Pornsite Terry has been encouraging me to stay at home and really give my own business a real run. He gave me some advice for working out of my home that I finally followed yesterday.
- Get up at the same time every day
- Take a shower every morning
- Run
- Get out of the house at least once a day
And yesterday I didn’t get a chance to do the run, but I did everything else. I took Viv with me to the Pinelands Library and worked on my laptop while she played on the library computers and read to herself. I think Viv liked seeing her Daddy in a different spot than camped on the couch with a laptop in front of him. People might frown on his business, but the fact of the matter is, he has given me work and been supportive of me during the entire time we have worked together. I got phone calls from him just to check on me during the darkest times when my kids moved away and I was at the nadir of my depression. Say what you will, but Terry is a good dude. Here is A chat with Pornsite Terry…
The kids and I have been reading some good books at bedtime from the ‘brary lately… 006 and a Half, Skippyjon Jones, and Cabbage Moon.

Dude, it’s great to have friends like porn site Terry, is that trademarked?
Who cares what people think, it’s not like you are killing people, etc.
Take care, I am hoping things work out the best for you!
Have a GREAT weekend!

Also, for working from home a lot, set a little reminder to get up once an hour and walk around.

Porn Site Terry sounds like a good guy and a great friend. As for people frowning on his business, I think judging people is what people do when they aren’t open minded enough to get to know someone first and they need an immediate category to put them in such as good/bad. People rarely fall into one exact category like that, that is what makes getting to know new people so interesting.

As long as it’s not kids or animals, i really don’t give a fuck about porn purveyors. It’s a business, people pay, whatever…..
I look forward to hearing that he accomplished his goal at the library.

tori – he is a good dude and i was just writing a comment on another blogger’s website about how she doesn’t consider herself a “mommy blogger”, i was telling her that yes, you’re a mommy, but that’s not all you are. if your label is all that defines you, well, you just might have earned the label
meno – oh, these sites are tame compared to most porn on the web for sure

hahaha The Meat Ship! I’m going to make one for me and the kids every weekend, and then we won’t have to eat the rest of the week. Fun and satisfying; it’s brilliant!

When you work for yourself the a.m. wake schedule is a very intelligent idea. Keeps it a job…just one with some perks. Risky is risky, but let’s get the facts straight: econmoy sucks, jobs are scrce…you are epic at what you do, you could arrange your hours around being a dad and sweet boyfriend…. do it better than the Big Boyz (and you do) and it’s a better idea.
