PPC 6700 modem on the go

I am writing this from my laptop using my mobile phone as a modem. Right now it is getting over 250k per second. That is freakin incredible. I cannot wait to test it out with google maps the next time I am lost.

Union Life

I went to a union lunch party today. I heart my union . I realize they take a lot of money and they are bad for business. I also realize everyone else hates them. But damnit, I love the union and the fact that I have health insurance and a living wage with holidays and a retirement plan. I know that it's the union that makes that all possible. I have definately tried working for the non-union jobs. I never made more than $20,000 and I never had health insurance.

They had some pretty tasty "free" sandwiches and we were able to choose between a free FM radio or a plastic waterbottle. I actually chose the water bottle now that my phone does internet streaming radio. I think it is funny that an FM radio is now worth as much as an empty waterbottle. It wasn't even a particularly nice one. Now that I think about it, I forgot it in the meeting, lol.

At the meeting we voted if we think it is good to make roswell a smoke free zone. I voted for it. I can't believ it isn't one already. In the middle of the cmapus there is an area locked between fences and buildings and in the center of it, next to the praxair compressions tanks is a smoker hut, that is most likely an old metro bus stop. It looks exactly liek one. I will try and get a picture tomorrow. Some referred to it as the Bus Stop that to afterlife.

As a side note, I did think it was funny that on the newsletter the clipart with the article was money but that there was nothing really about money in the article.

Big Spending in all the wrong places

It's nice to say goodbye to this waiting area. I am tired of sitting in it and looking at the totally unecessary giant flat panel.

the metro

Who designed the advertisements for the Buffalo metro? They look like they were designed by intro to graphic design students of a pre computer era. Only the craptastic dropshadow guves it away. These ones can be found at the Allen Street station.

I am supposed to be at Canisius teaching but the subway is late. One more station to go.

Some man on the subway was telling this long winded story about how all the stars came from buffalo before there was Hollywood. He just kept screaming it at these girls and paul, the other Paul that worked at Kunis and the coop.

Lunch of the Dead

The lunches only get better at Roswell. I just wish I didn't have to listen to the shooting drama over and over again. My entire lunch was dominated by the death of that crazy man on the television.

The way the news anchors talked about it, it seems like they were hoping it was in fact a terrorist.

Lunchtime at Roswell

Who would have thought that the food at a hospital could be so yummy. Yesterday I got zuchibi with lasagna and today I got some chicken stuffed with raisins and something breadlike on rice with greenbeans. That plus a lemonade and two chocolate cookies came to about $5 with my employee discount. I couldn't even cook tha much yumminess for $5.

Work, work work, ya

Another exceptional day at work. I don't know how long this feeling will last but I really like my job and the coworkers.

Today I decided to ditch VbScript in favor of JScript. What an improvement! I like being able to write in the same language both server and client side, although, frankly, I think we are selling ourselves short by not using PHP 5.

I can now do everything I need to to begin making stuff. Tomorrow I will tackle the Blackberry.

I love my job/life

I love my new job. By the end of the day I was writing production viable vbscript using classes to validate input like zip code with and without extensions and all the different flavors of phone numbers. I also got put in charge of crackberry and mobile development.

Best of all I got my schedule changed to 10 to 6:30 and I am able to write this walking home from my supermobile while listening to live streaming radio.

visual basic logic

strComp is a visual basic string manipulation function that compares the contents of two strings. When they are equal it returns 0. Yes, that is a zero, known everwhere else as false.
