I Still Suck At Wall Mounting A Television

my mind has been everywhere of late... that i totally forgot about an important post.

part of my spaciness (in addition to my general spaciness/forgetfulness) is due to something that happened over the weekend at my company. my company was subject to a sql injection attack over the weekend that my coworkers and i are still trying to rectify.

for those of you who are curious, a sql injection attack involves the adding of sql code to certain parts of a website where variables are passed to the database. the goal of the attack, would be to have this new sql code corrupt the database behind the website. hence the term... sql injection.

needless to say, the need for backing up data is very important... for instances like these. anyway, it has not been fun of late to review line upon line of programming legacy code and editing them such that this security vulnerability is limited. and believe me, there is a lot of code... even when split among my entire team of developers.

anyway, i totally forgot to mention that the other day, my favorite sister-in-law (janine), my favorite brother-in-law (pj), my niece (kaleigh) and nephew (pj) came over for dinner. it was actually a cheap ploy to enlist the help of pj because i needed help lifting the television to the wall mount that i had installed. yes, i still suck at wall mounting a television. considering the fact that the television is 52", it's not particularly heavy. the television is just awkward to lift, which made it difficult to attach the arm to the wall mount.

(pictured below is the mounted television. so now, the chairs are no longer facing a blank wall.)


it's been 2 days so far... and the television is still hanging. that's a good sign. thanks sanus for creating such a nice wall mount.

as for dinner, i think everyone enjoyed the breakfast for dinner theme. (we basically had breakfast foods for dinner.) truth be told, i think my brother-in-law likes the television more than i do as he kept mentioning how cool the television was.

i can't wait to begin hosting parties and whatnot now. after all, i think it would be fun to have people over to watch football now... or even have movie night with friends. (for the men... scantily clad women on the big screen... very exciting... for the women... scantily clad men with their rock hard abs on the big screen... also probably exciting.) the possibilities are endless... yay tv!
