Strep Throat

Well, my fourteen hour plane ride is over. I think I have strep throat now like I have never had before. My throat and lungs are on fire and I have a fever. Like it hurts to breathe and swallow. I hope I feel better in the morning, if not I am going to the doctor it feels so bad. I guess there is a rapid strep throat test now. Maybe there was always one and I just didn't have a doctor before. Argh.

I am so glad about being home in Buffalo. Big City life is really not for me. I think I would die of anxiety if I lived in San Francisco.

I Hate Delta Airlines

I would never fly Delta again, it is this sub-trash piece of shit airlines. The flights were terrible.

On the second flight, the seats going back function was broken which really sucks on an overnight flight. Although there was a movie we were not able to see the screen due to the way the cabin was configured. They didn't even bother giving us earphone ports for the sound.

But here is the kicker. I was annoyed when we arrived in Atlanta at 5am for our 9:20am flight to buffalo. But what made that totally unacceptable is that there is a 7am flight to Buffalo. Why would they have not put us on that flight when I requested a ticket from San Francisco online. It just doesn't make sense. So I asked the stupid fuck behind the counter if we could switch and he said no.

More Pics of San Francisco

(e:matthew) and I spent most of yesterday in the park. We walked from Buena Vista park down Haight street to the golden gate park to the ocean and all the way back.

How did graffitti get in the electric or phone box or whatever this is.
image

Here is the city view from twin peaks.
image

This is where (e:twisted) often visits estrip.
image

This flower in the park smelled so sweet. I want to know what it is.
image

A pretty twisted branch.
image

Another pic of flowers at golden gate park. The viewfinder in my camera makes purple look blue so I thought it was not taking pictures of purple/pink things properly but it is. Just that they show up blue in the viewfinder.

(e:matthew) taking pictures
image

image

This pine cone was so large and heavy. It is hard to tell in the pic.
image

This tree trunk over water was almost the death of me. I ran across it and then got scared and sat down as it was high up over water. Then I had to shimmy the rest of the way.
image

When we got to the beach we ate yummy food.
image

image

A cubby hole in the woods. I thought (e:terry) would like it.

Next to Buena Vista Park is this house that resembles ours accept for theirs is smaller but has a grander entrance.

Touring Around San Francisco

Here are some of the pics from San Francisco in no particular order.

Okay, this one was before the trip. I finally cut off my hair. I feel free. There was a video of the process but unlike the old days of the smaller audience I think it is no longer appropriate.

image
image

there was this magazine on the plane with furniture in Nice, France that make syour whole house into a rock garden. I want it so bad.
image

image

(e:matthew) really did not like flying. The two hours of severe turbulence didn't help. I was liek the plane was going to rip apart. My neck hurt from the stress of thinking I was gonna die plus the jarring motion of it whipping around. We didn't even have service or sound for like 2 hours.

image
image

People bring their dogs and cats on planes in their backpacks nowadays. As an alergy sufferere this makes me mad.
image

I thought Dave Doyle would like this. I know he likes messed up signs.
image

This one too.
image

image

On Saturday (e:hodown) arrived
image

Here is the goldengate bridge
image

These boat houses cost more than double the cost of the mansion.

Alcatraz from telegraph hill.

At the conference today I was scared that an earthquake would crash down the part I was in.

A delorian maybe?
image

I love Aroma Tea Shop at 302 6th avenue

image
image

image

(e:hodown) already opened up a restaurant here.
image

Lombard street is twisty
image

Do you think the workers really get the $1 surcharge per plate? No where else had one.
image

From North of the bridge

This is the Palace of Fine Arts. I felt at home being a master of fine arts.
image

(e:twisted) had lots of yummy snacks for us.

Web Design World

Well day one took us through the CSS you'd learn in intro to web design. Hopefully, something more exciting will be on the plate for tommorow. This woman in front of me asked the man next to her what a 'div' is.

It's nice to find out most of the choices (e:enknot) and I have made are also backed by other industry professionals.

The food was tasty. I even got my own personal size chocolate cake. Somehow a pigeon got into the conference. I fed it some cookies.

These dolls are so damn freaky.

ruby on rails

This has become a ruby in rails promtion event. which is fine with me. The speaker just went off how hard php is to maintain because it's all speghetti code. The way he talked about it, it seemed like the only php code he saw was code that hobby programmers wrote for php3.

Woman1: this is crazy. It used to be an event that promoted microsoft. Didn't he see how many peole raised their hand for .net

woman2: well, I am going to try ruby if it's the future.

woman1: I don' think microsoft will support it. All our servers are microsoft, and it's too expensive to switch.

hahaha

So I made it

I am at the san fran web design world conference now despite freaking out about thinking I was enrolled n the wrong connference.

They just asked developers what they are using. Hands went up and percentages you would expect for microsoft's .net, php,and java technology. What surprised me that only like two people raised their hands for rails. I was totally surprised.

Did you guys know tthat less than 5% of people publish more than once a week on their blogs?

Making Changes

I have made all these board sweeping changes to the site code as I have been adapting it for another major project in the last week. There is still a lot more old clutter I want to get rid of, but it is very scary working on it a few days before I will have no computer for a week. I just hope that my device will be able to save me in a pinch.

I mean I think it is all good but there is only so much testing one human can do in a day.
