I don't think it seems terribly likely?
I found her (not currently active) twitter feed, and one of the tweets is a TMBG video.

Let's see now, I've done most everything I planned on today, EXCEPT for mowing the yards. That can wait until tomorrow afternoon, honestly. I just seriously didn't feel like going out and sweating like crazy, today. On the bright side, I composed an FAQ page for a new web client today. I hadn't originally planned on doing it, but they gave me the text via e-mail and asked what I could do with it. I stole a bit of JavaScript and CSS from someone else's FAQ, and it only took about two hours to do, give or take.

Oh, I also cooked a late afternoon lunch of stew beef with carrots, celery, and onions, as well as creamy garlic potatoes, and baby lima beans.

I peeled six russet potatoes and cut them into large chunks, then boiled them in salted water for about fifteen minutes. Drained out 90% of the water, threw in a stick of butter and 1/2 cup of half-and-half (or your favorite veggie milk) and five or six cloves of crushed/chopped fresh garlic, and add white pepper or freshly ground black pepper. I tossed the whole thing until the potatoes were well coated and began to soak up the liquid, forming a thick sauce.

Man if I wasn't lazy today, I'd be cooking them drool

It was just an emotionally draining week. I'm just going with it and allowing myself to rest.

I'm in love with Minipop - A New Hope [amazon.com]. Just got it earlier this week, listened to the whole thing while I vacuumed.

Sadly, yes. People hear I'm a computer geek and ask about web pages. I offer that I'm only available for paying customers and that stops most of them from asking any further. I'm no web wizard by any stretch of the imagination, but I can always lift HTML and JavaScript from other web pages to do the necessary window-dressing. I also dabble in PHP. being the technical support person for a small phpBB-based forum, but it's not a paying gig.

That's the nice thing about them, they're dead simple to make. If you REALLY want more garlic flavor, you can add granulated garlic in the sauce.

I've had a few offers, but I really just don't feel like doing more work when I'm off.

I enjoyed tech stuff until I did it for a living in college...never again...I do it for myself, and on the rare occasion for select family and friends, but it can quickly get out of hand if you don't put limits...

Ten years ago, I used to run my own Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP web server from home, and had a personal blog site, before "blogging" became an over-hyped word for advertising-swamped commercial web pages. I learned quite a bit and enjoyed it, so I still do some of it, but nothing serious, or that eats up too much of my time.


Meanwhile, what I *really* ought to be working on is a several-hundred-page SQL seed data script for work that was started as a copy-and-paste project and quickly got out of hand. It's part of the new Java-based project I'll be assigned in the very near future, and there's a LOT of room for improvement. I whacked several pages out of it Wednesday, using a LOOP instead of repeating the same stuff so many times. But the bulk of the remaining work is adding a ton of new seed data, and the requirements are classically sloppy and incomplete. Frown
