Ned Your Always Wrong

I pass at least 1 gas station everyday, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell me that gas prices have been dropping for the last 2 weeks, if you want to impress me, tell me what the gas price is going to be in 2 weeks from now. Predicting that isn’t that hard either, look at the gasoline futures on the nymex, and add between 50 cents to a buck depending on your market, and you’ll have a pretty good estimate of what your pump prices are going to be next month.

I guess I am just a bit annoyed at the lead news stories for every media outlet was this great discovery that gas prices have gone down in the last couple of week, like they always have (except for last year).

I think the only easier job, would be forecasting yesterdays weather..

It seems like it has been a hellish 2 weeks, with both my hosting providers (bluehost and dreamhost) having sporadic outages, the outages with each provider were understandable, but not acceptable, downtime never is.
It seems like every time I turned around, the one I actually wanted to work on, or upload to was either down or having a problem. Now everything appears to be returning to normal, and instead of obsessing on a down server and hitting refresh waiting for it to come back up, I can maybe get some of the thing I was working on, working…

Don’t get me wrong, I think both bluehost and dreamhost are great services and I highly recommend them, I think my total downtime over the last year with both could be measured in minutes. The last few weeks of downtime has totaled hours, but I’m paying seven buck a month, so I’ll get over it…

Well, the last couple of months have been hectic, moving websites between hosting companies, and in the turmoil nedyouralwayswrong.com lost its home… Well the shuffle is over, and Ned is being reborn in kind of a different life.
Outside of my regular job I have 4 projects going on, all in various degrees of completion or re-write, plus a couple of others that only get touched either when the break or I lose my mind and break them. So I have Ned to test on, and break thins without messing up important stuff.
Some of the sarcasm will remain, as well as pointing the finger at the occasional moron.
