2XL

HOLY BLAST FROM THE PAST, Batman! I thought, seriously, that my sister and I were the only two people in America who had played with 2XL. Played with? How about, spent several hours every freakin’ day pushing that little guy’s buttons?! We still have ours. It was just about my favorite toy!

DSL

Maybe I have been influenced by reading about TheBrad’s trials. Maybe I am being too hard on GTE and the other places that obviously really want me to get DSL service here. I think I will go to bed now and try this again in the morning. These kinds of things always seem to go

EarthLink DSL

Wow! This EarthLink page about DSL service says that they have FREE equipment, installation, and set-up! Then it says that the offer requires self-installation! So, if I install it myself, they’re not going to charge me to install it?! Huh? Join me now as I begin to follow TheBrad’s ill-fated path …

DSL Service

I’ve come to think of blogging as the new bookmarking. I almost never click in my Favorites menu these days. So pretty much nobody but me will want to go to this site. It’s the one for GTE DSL Services. As much as I admire TheBrad, I have to hope and pray that my experience

ADSL Hell

I was just in the middle of reading about TheBrad’s journey through ADSL Hell when the thunder began a-rollin’. Hard core thunder. Thunder such that you would be hard-pressed to determine if what you were hearing was thunder or someone trying to recreate the running of the bulls at Pamplona in your attic. Thunder so

Getting Older

The beginning of June is always a strange time for me. My birthday is coming again and I’m always sort of troubled that another one of my very few years on the planet is finished. This one has been the busiest yet and it doesn’t look like there’s any chance of slowing the roller coaster

WebLinks

There are about a dozen web sites that I visit every day. (The 34 hour span that I recently spent unconnected was seriously painful. I admit, I have a problem.) One of the places I go is The Bradlands. He doesn’t update as often as some of us do, but that’s okay. He makes up

Brad

Today I just wanna throw my head back and blog and blog and blog and blog. The BradLands featured a conversation emulator some time ago and I never clicked on it. What a holier-than-thou bastard I am sometimes, eh? er … no .. actually I’m not. I don’t know why I never clicked on it.

Barcodes

I hope people who read my resume don’t think of this when they see that I’ve done a tremendous amount of work implementing bar codes, scanners, and keyless data entry systems. I am seriously getting sick of Microsoft jerking me around about my browser. I guess I’m the only farking fool in the world who

What Is This?

davidgagne.net is the personal weblog of me, David Vincent Gagne. I've been publishing here since 1999, which makes this one of the oldest continuously-updated websites on the Internet.

bartender.live

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
