Artvoice Geek Meet

So, I finally spoke with Jamie Moses and I can make some time now that most everything else is out of the way. We are going to meet on Tuesday night to talk about the Geek Meet and some other stuff. Then on the 16th maybe I will move the server. It is mostly set up and whatever doesn't work atthat point can be set up remotely afterwards. I think we will gain a lot of improvement in what we can offer. Especially because we will go from having 6GB (around 4285.71 floppy disks) worth of space to around 400GB (around 285,714.29 floppy disk) worth of space. Then we can start having more video and audio features.

Afterwards, (e:lilho) and I played with the baby. I bought her a new stocking to play in. She loves it. At some point (e:lilho) started to turn into a squirrel.

She played iwth it so much she started to become a squirrel.

image

(e:lilho) was playing with my phone and pulled out the memory chip. It is really tiny. She asked me how big it was and I said 1 gigabyte. Then she said how big is that so I said ~1,000 megabytes. Then she asked me how big that was in floppy disks. I can't remember the last time someone asked me how big something was in floppy disks. I almost forgot they existed. Anyways, It is also around ~1000 floppy disks although prob some less because I think that floopy disks were 1.4 MB each.

We saw barbie at target. She had a special message for everyone.

So many Pic

I decided to clean out my phone of pics that hadn't made it to my journal yet.

We went shopping the other day at the Blvd mall but I forgot to post these pics. The mall looks really different than I rememebr it. What surprises me most is that ever other stand/store is a front for a mobile phone carrier. Some even have mutliple shops which seems so weird to me.

image

They also have polish water. What the hell is polish water and is it Polish like the nationality or polish like the nail enhancer. I hope it's the first one, maybe. It reality it sounds like a code name for Vodka. (e:matthew) says he thinks he heard Vodka refered to that way before.

image

The tree came down and with it all the ornaments. I took so many pictures of them for some reason.

On The Go

Today I went with (e:mike), (e:lilho), (e:mathhew) and (e:terry) to run some errands. It is supposed to end in my haircut after we buy clippers. I think I am going to celebrate shaving and haircutting with dressing up and going out somewhere.

My hair has gotten so crazy, unfortunately, (e:lilho) has started drinking with our dinnr at Gabriels gate so I hope my haircut comes out. Who wrote that song about never taking acid and cutting your hair? I think they same think should apply to letting your barber get drunk before the cut.

I bought (e:mike) his christmas gift circus tickets. It cost about $200 for two tickets. Holy crap. I hope it's good. We are in a great location. We turned down floor tickets for the same price because I didn't want look up the whole time.

I got to test of out my work project and estrip on a blackberry. They both worked good. I like the keyboard on the blackberry but I still think it needs a cam.

Dinner At Betty's

Last night (e:terry), (e:lilho) and I headed over to Betty's on Virginia. The food was delicious. I had lamb chops, (e:lilho) had paella and terry had some overwhelmingly lentil vegetarian thing.

We had clams casino for an appetizer. They were so freakin' yummy. I would suggest the place to vegetrian and meat eaters alike.

My Toe Is So Fucked Up

So my toe looks worse than ever although it feels much better. Unfortunately, I have one more month before my health insurance starts.
Can someone tell me (maybe you know Jenks) if it is normal for a toe to start looking worse, even if it begins to feel a little better. It is making walking tricky because it is fatter than the other toes now and gets in the way.

image

I just want to be able to dance again.

Today was a better day at work. I built lots of cool stuff.

I found out the reason that code looked so messed up is not just that the users were using an online wysiwyg editor but that they were pasting into it from word. What a nightmare this is gonna be.

Theme Editor

I finally finished the bulk of my online theme editor for the site. Maybe it will make me make more themes. Either way I am glad that all the data entry is over.

Monkat Return

I had to update the monkat model for josephine [search]josephine[/search] <-- why does no one else use these search links. Maybe I need a new person to help me figure out how to help people figure out how to use stuff . I like it best in green as I mentioned before.

And what about the google maps tag (MAP TO: 444%20LINWOOD%20AVENUE)

Or the wikipedia tag (WIKIPEDIA - virtual reality)

Job Worries

I normally love my job. In fact while working on the blackberry web site today using a real blackberry for once, I thought back to all those journals where I talked about wanting to do mobile development and there I was doing it. It's coming along quite well. I even wrote an excel parser that would take the excel based menus for the week and notify the mobile user what specials were up for the day.

Anyways, so I love that and then at about 6:00PM just before I left for work one of my co-workers asked me to take on one of the projects he is working. The work is for a good cause/site. It's the Ride for Roswell Site

Unfortunately, the kind of work it is, it is the kind of work I hate more than anything in the world. It is a squishy mix of old and new crappy machine generated code to wade through. The machine generated code looks like it comes from a combination of dreamweaver and the on site WYSIWYG system that writes the most mutated code I have ever seen. In fact only a machine with no emotions and not a human could write such disgusting code. capital, lowercase, css, markup, style tag, font tag, argh

image

The thing is it is not specifically the fault of any programmer but rather the system they used. It has a CMS system that involves a WYSIWYG online text editor which creates the crappy code. Unfortunately, now that they have this WYSIWYG editor they are going to crave it and I got the job with only about 10 days to fix it all up and make a new cms or fix the old one.

For the sake of the future me, I see no point in working in classic ASP and VBscript, the language that was used to write the system in the first place so it will have to be a quick re-write. I wish I could have had a little more advanced time to not just patch it up.

I hope it is not the beginning of a series of horrible fixer uppers or I am going to relocate to California. I hate fixing up mushing human/machine, old/new crap code. That is exactly one of the main reasons I wanted to stop being a professor. It thought I was going to be a developer.

data entry

All this data entry for the themes upgrade is making me ill. It is really bringing me back to all those mind numbing jobs I had as a teenager. The worst data entry job ever was working for Sorrento cheese.

They had this giant main frame computer and wanted all the data entered into a windows one in excel. I spent weeks sitting in a refrigerated room entering numbers and adresses into the system.

What confuses me looking back on this, is why it wasn't it automated. I mean having the human in between left plenty of room for error. Especially one getting like $9.00/hr.

I had about 15 jobs like that during he summers of high school.
