When I’m helping build a webform<\/span>, there’s always a testing period. \u00a0 For at least the first test, I put in real information so that if it ends up not going were expected, it will be easier to track down. \u00a0I always use a made up name – the more ridiculous<\/span> the better – and the word Test if there’s a comment area. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Well, apparently the test data didn’t get cleared out of the database. \u00a0 I got a call on the answering machine at home yesterday asking for confirmation of attendance at a luncheon. \u00a0 \u00a0The message was directed toward…. \u00a0Link Hogthrob<\/span>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For those of you that don’t know – and apparently the person making the call is one of those – Link Hogthrob<\/span> is the pig captain of the SS SwineTrek<\/span> along with First Mate Piggy and Dr. Julius Strangepork<\/span>. \u00a0 \u00a0On the Muppet<\/span> show.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My room-mate suggested I tell them he can’t come because of the swine flu – but if they didn’t get the Muppet<\/span> pig reference – the won’t get this joke either.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, I have to make a call today that I’m dreading. \u00a0 Do I play it cool and actually pretend to be Link and cancel? \u00a0Or do I try to explain and not embarrass<\/span> them?\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In other news… I went to a wine tasting event last night that my room-mate’s rotary club puts on every year. \u00a0 The only reason I go to these is to make sure he gets home okay and to bid on the silent auction items for a Mother’s day gift. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The pickings were slim at the auction table, though I did get something that will work – I think. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Fortunately<\/span>, I brought plenty of paper and just stood quietly off to the side. \u00a0 \u00a0Kind of a strange and boring evening for the designated driver, but I knew what to expect and got through it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That’s it for now… later<\/div>\n
