Pride and Traffic

It is nice to see traffic arriving in from other places on the web. I promised myself that I would not program this afternoon at all and just leave the site alone. Let's see if that can still happen!! If anyone visiting the site from afar wants to hire me or chat about the site, feel free to shoot me a postit or an email, using the icons under my userPic. You can visit my portfolio to read more about the user's interface and about site features, although it has been upgraded a bunch since that was written.

Right now I am working for $17,000/year with no health insurance and it can't be hard to beat that for a PHP (OOP), MySQL, XML, AJAX, WAP, DHTML programmer and graphic designer/ hard worker.

Well today is another pride parade and festival. It should be fun, as are all elmwood events. It is weird not being able to view it from the porch this year. I was so used to living on elmwood. Now we have to walk.

Man on the floor

Geoffrey [inlink]paul,2491[/inlink] knocked some guy out giving him a massage in our living room. I don't really know him and he is snoring. Geoffrey thinks it would be funny to decorate him with flowers. The kid is the same guy in (e:flacidness) 's journal [inlink]flacidness,113[/inlink]

My MFA Degree - My Job

I finally got my letter accepting me as a graduation Candidate for 9/05. I also checked my final grades and it looks like I am going to be graduating with a 4.0. So now I am finishing a 60 credit Masters in Fine Arts, I have a huge portfolio full of great stuff , and years of experience.

It was definately worth it because I just accepted my dream job making $17,000/year at Canisius with no health benefits. It's about the same amount they paid me when I had only a undergraduate degree in German Language. Ironically, school cost more than that. They told me once again it might go full time in January. I am a sucker for stories aparently. They told me that one for four years now. I guess there is still hope the salary could go up.

It's sad because I had planned on using the money I made working full time and reinvesting it in this site. I just want it to be on a fast server so that my years of programming can be fully appreciated. I guess it will have to wait another year.

The reason this happend to me is because I don't want to work for some big corporation and I don't want to have to leave my home town. Where are all the non-profits that need designers and web techs. The going bid is $17,001, at this point, lol. Please someone rescue me before it is too late, I am truly capable of making anything happen on the web.

Taste of Buffalo

The taste of Buffalo is moving to Niagara Sqaure. I wonder what prompted the moving of the Taste of Buffalo?

That's right, the Taste is moving from the urban intimacy of Main Street to the wide-open plains of Niagara Square and Delaware Avenue. With City Hall as a backdrop point your compass North and you'll find restaurants, beverage tents and entertainment almost all the way to Chippewa Street! Enjoy the ample elbow room the new location provides as you sample old favorites and new tastes from many of Buffalo and Western New York's favorite restaurants!Quoted from: Taste of Buffalo


I really like their logo.

Transparent PNG Test

This is a test 24bit PNG image to make sure it works when uploaded in IE.

So today we had like 6 million guests probably from the sidewalk chalk, yet I was playing with the online guest code to make it more efficient, so nobody saw them in the number of guests. No fear, it is accurate again.

Calamari Fritti

(e:terry) and I collborated on the making of Calamari Fritti. They are delicioso. The recipe:

Pull the freakin brains out of the Calamari. That was my job. You can see them in the strainer. I thought it was gross, but ntohing beats (e:robin) 's blackberry story.

The next step is breading with flour, corn meal, salt, pepper, oregano and just a dash of basil. The (e:terry) fried them in canola oil. It has a higher frying temp than olive oil. Last heast up some tomato sauce and enjoy.

Oxytocin Trust

University students who inhaled the hormone in a nasal spray were discovered to be far more trusting of one another -- eager, in fact, to hand over money to strangers in investment deals.

The results suggest trust can be bottled and used to forge commercial relationships. Quoted from: The Globe and Mail: Building trust via nasal spray



This sounds like the most horrible discovery ever. I could easily be used to bend reality and create a totally fictional adherence to "truth and justice." I would rest easier if I just didn't know it existed. It kind of explains the concept of the sex vixen spy agent.
