A little bit of comfort
Hi Paul,
This is Blah blah. Thank you so much for saving our marriage. Because of this stupid fucking web site, I having actually disliked my husband greatly for two years. You relieving my husband of this unwanted code writing is better that any therapist. I now love you and so do my children.

Well its 5:09 am again
I feel bad for him because it really must be a defeating to have to hire your own projects out when you can't do them. Luckily, I had the last eight months working on this site to give me a head start so I said I could get in done in about three days. I never had any idea how bad the code would be. I had to throw out 90%. Variables changed names, databases din't have matching keys for cross referencing, etc. What kills me is that I could have done this a long time ago. They actually tried to hire me to do this project two years ago but I quit when I found out that he was making $2500 for freaking web design and they wanted me to do the database and PHP for $900.
Then he tried to offer me $200 to do this $1500 project. I have to say I was a bit offended, I think I would have rather that he just asked me to do it for free. I tried to compare it like this. He is a painter and it's comparable to me bringing him a pencil sketch for a portrait I was commisioned to paint and asking him if he could just touch it up with oil paint and build a frame.
So eventually, we agreed on $500, because I think I can do this quickly but also 30% of future profits from the project and my name as programmer on all paperwork. He will be presenting it in Atlanta Next week.
Honestly, I really like him and think he is one of the most talented graphic artists I personally know, and overall a great guy but this project is embarrasing. I can't imagine having to give a lecture about it. Its so 1991 in terms of the technology. And conceptually, I don't think it is offering anything new or innovative.
So Terry is reallyy mad caus ehe resrved a cabin for us all to go camping and trish canceled. Then I canceled because I seriously have too much work. I really want to go but now I am involved in this crap. I hope somday when I go back and read my ten years of journals, I don't see this weekend as the point where I chose work over life and then hate mysql. I meant to write mysql but then by accident typed mysql. Oh my god I did it again. I meant to type myself. That's really ironic and kind of scary.
Life on Elmwood is insane. I have to get out of here soon.

Its Money and its Unclaimed
Sadly, he is not around to claim it. I wish someone owed me lots of money. But not if I had to die for it.

My Tribute to Bush's Campaign
This image represents George Bush's dedication to the democratization (militarization) of space.
On another note. I got stuck doing Ben's project after all. Although I am still bitter with the fact that he get $2500 and I will do so much work for far less. I made him sign to 30% of future profits, my name listed as PHP programmer on the documentation, copyright retention of my code and $500.

Neverending Story
Basically, scripting in Second Life is like programming in C. I like it a lot. Programming makes me very very very happy. Each time I discover a new way to do something, I get a little rush. Eventually it becomes like a drug when I set a loftly good for myself and then reach it. Which lead sto a loftier goal, which is then met and so on, untill I get to a really hard problme and then I start getting completion withdrawl. I love the compelting feeling.
I realy think programming makes you smarter, as well. Logic tastes so much better than anything for my brain.
For those of you that don't program at all, I suggest trying it. i didn't used to but honestly, it really makes you feel good about yourself and its great fun to see your artwork become dynamic and responsive. I wish I had just started a little earlier.
If you do any sort of computer artwork, give it a try. You won't regret it.
This is my disco stand. It sells bracelts which make it easy for your avatar to dance. See my tempreal journal for more information about these projects.
My new Living Room.
My online turtle pets. What a little aplha channel and a lot of scripting can do!! These cute little pets follow your avatar around. They were a great learning exercise for me and also a great money maker.
This is where I sell them.
Unfortunately, while testing the code for the turtles, I made a mistake a one of the turles, litterly blew up.
One of the avatars who was their said it looked like a suicide lemming. The things circled in red are its finger nails and little parts that blew off. It was really sad. Even though its not real I was starting to get attached to it. It could tell me it loved me, follow me around, wait for me in places, say its initals in binary, etc. Luckily it was a binary pet and I have unlimited didgital copies of it.
What type of implication would there be if I had unlimited digital copies of a real pet. Would I share them on the internet. Cyberpets! Maybe there is a market there. I seemed to really get attached to mine. Kind of like a tomogochi. I guess There.com already has cyberpets.
