Bet Fest
Yesterday I became an official staff member/writer for Bet Fest It’s a fairly new poker site dedicated to everything about poker. The slogan – “Poker is our Sport”
There are some articles for beginners, the World Series of Poker, and even an amusing bit about how to beat women in poker.
I plan to write an article based on my experience tonight. A few of us are going up to the local Harrahs Indian casino to play in the $40 no limit hold ‘em tournament. Kevin is celebrating his birthday there.

It’s a Girl!
I’d like to formally announce that Laura and I are having another baby girl – as far as we can tell. There didn’t seem to be much wavering in the nurse?s decision.
We got some really nice profile shots, although a bit small. We plan on digitizing them soon. I?ll post another entry when that time comes.
So far we?ve decided on Zoie Dee Fluke. I liked Zowie, Laura liked Zoe (with an eee sound for the e) so we compromised. Dee is short for Denise, which of course is my mother?s name. We may change it to Denise, but I?m not 100% sold on that yet. Since she doesn?t have a middle name, it was a little difficult to come up with something. Gaby calls her Grandma Dee, so we thought it was only appropriate. Since Gaby?s middle name Renee, is from Laura?s mother, we wanted to keep that tradition.
The due date stands at January 28, 2004. I hope so. Can everyone say tax break? I think I remember reading that it doesn?t work that way. Well, keep checking right here for additional updates, random thoughts, and other oddities from Dustin Fluke.

long time – no updates
Well, for those who may be regulars at dustinfluke.com I apologize for the delay in posting new information.
Wait, nevermind. I don’t have regulars :)
At any rate, for anyone who does check out this site you may have noticed that I’ve been away for awhile. I had some difficulty getting Moveable Type working on my hosting providers new server. Now I think I have all those bugs out.
Be prepared for some changes. I’ve been taking a course in Perl, which is also partly why I haven’t been doing much HTML work lately. My final project is to add five perl related features to a web site. I’ve chosen dustinfluke.com for that project. I’d like to add a random quote, form, and some other things I can’t remember right now. So, stay tuned! I’ll have some updates really soon.
