Roswell Food and haircut
Yesterday, I got really hungry and decided to see just how far I could push snack time. I wanted to eat more than two thousand calories just to see what it felt like to be a super fatass.
Here was my snack of over 2000 calories
Chocolate Milk ~420 calories
Combos ~1170 calories
Gummi Candies ~195 calories
Orange Juice ~240 calories
Necco Wafers - no pictures but around 300 calories
So like over 2000 calories it was for only about $7. Too bad it was such dicusting food. Combos taste good but they must be so sick for you.
My arm is much buffer now. I know you body builder types are saying what that is a stick but hey someday I will beat the shit out my worst enemy with it. Who are you worst enemy and how many more time do I have to press metal.
I cut off my crazy mad scientist hair. I went back to doing it myself. It takes 5 minutes instead of 2 hours.

Decisions, decisions
The top of my semi-outdated ( I have made so much new stuff) says:
I am looking for a challenging full-time PHP/SQL/XML/JS/AJAX web programming/design job with benefits such as health insurance in my home town of Buffalo, NY.I have an amazing web development job in Buffalo, NY. Now I want one that pays me more than $50,000.
I changed it this because I was sick of job offers that were less than what I had going on. I mean who goes in that direction.
Then I got this email today.
Hi Paul,
I came across your resume (Google search on 'buffalo resume "content management"
Perl MySQL')
I am looking for a knowledgeable, creative and self-motivated person in Buffalo with
web/software development and content management system experience that is interested in playing a key role in the development and growth of my company, COMAND Solutions.
The intention is for that person to eventually become the Chief Technology
Officer.
Required Skills:
1. Web Page Development with HTML and JavaScript
2. Programming experience with PHP and Perl
3. SQL (more specifically MySQL)
4. Linux system administration including set up and maintenance of RedHat/Fedora
servers with Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc.
5. Excellent organization and communication
Initial Responsibilities:
1. Develop, implement and maintain client web sites (HTML, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL)
in webCOMAND, our content management system.
2. Manage collection of remote webCOMAND, email and backup servers.
3. Manage and prioritize webCOMAND feature requests and bug reports.
Future Responsibilities:
1. Project management, including project specification, estimates and delegation to
a small team of developers.
2. Find, develop and implement systems to improve and automate company operations.
3. Help develop webCOMAND.
You can learn a little more about COMAND Solutions and webCOMAND at:
From what I see online, it looks like you may be the perfect candidate, except that you seem to already have a job at Roswell Park. However, I think this opportunity may be far more interesting to you and offers a lot more potential, as far as long-term growth. It is also a work from home position, which may or may not be more appealing to you.
Let me know if this is something you might be interested in and we can discuss everything in more detail.
Thank you,
Mitch
Mitch,
I may be interested in your position. I believe you are correct when you said, "it looks like you may be the perfect candidate for the job." I have a lot of experience and capability that I could transfer to that position.
At this point I would like to learn more about the nature of your company and more importantly the long term prospects of what you are proposing. Google returned no results for ("command solutions" buffalo) and webcommand.com appears to just be a list of links by associated by keyword.
While money might lure my interest to a new project, the longterm stability and benefits of my current Programmer/Analyst position at Roswell also have to be factored in.
Hope to hear from your soon.
Thank you for your time,
Paul Visco
I wonder where this will go. I imagine nothing will rip me away from Roswell.

Weekend in Ireland
We tried to find a rocking chair for (e:matthew) for his birthday. He really wanted a rocking chair and we have honestly been looking for about 3 years. For some reason very few places sell traditional rockers, which kind of surprises me. I called at least 5 places and we visited many more. Lots of places have gliders, which are kind of like rockers on a track but he just wants a traditional wooden rocker. Preferably not a wicker one, because he already wore a couple of those through.
We tried FWS, Ashley furniture, big lots, a couple antique stores but they didn't have any. Well FWS had one in the scratch and dent room but it wasn't very nice.
At Calvin's furniture in Kenmore they had one made out of beach that cost $279. It was actually on sale from a normal price of over $500. I was willing to actually buy it for him but he didn't like the color. I think he wants something a little darker.
Does anyone have a rocking chair they a are willing to sell maybe?
On Saturday night we had a pretty big party and many of the epeeps came out to celebrate (e:matthew)'s birthday with us. (e:ladycroft) brought a party sized (WIKIPEDIA - hookah) Hookah that had some nice hazelnut and vanilla flavored tobacco. It was the only time I have had any tobacco since I started working at Roswell. The party reinforced that I would not be smoking any more cigarettes. There were so many and I managed to not even have one.
On Sunday morning (e:lilho) and (e:hodown) came over to make breakfast. We had every intention on going to the parade but food led to more food which led to more food and two packs of Wegman's nirtrate free bacon later we settled on hangin gout at home instead dof braving the cold. I felt lame for not going but in reality I don't even have an ounce of irish in me.
Instead (e:hodown) and (e:terry) did an Irish jig for us.

Left Bank
Their food is seriously fancytastic but quite expensive. I would have to say it seemed worth it though. I don't know if I would have felt that way a year ago.
We started out with fried Calamari, fried Oysters, a salad and fried wanton combo and giant jumbo shrimp on top of artichoke bottoms.
For dinner (e:terry) had a giant ravioli cheese extravaganza, I had lamb stew with the softest yummiest lamb bits I have ever had, (e:hodown) had the most expensive thing on the menu: a really nice steak with jumbo shrimp on top, then covered in melted cheese. (e:lilho) had salmon.
I drank wine. The first cheaper wine actually tasted much better than the second round of more expensive wine.
I think it came to something like $150.00 plus a $45 tip. My phone battery was dead so i didn't get any photos, but I think hodown did. Unfortunately, she has one of those old fashioned non-digital cameras- so who knows if we will ever see those pics.

Busy Day
Then I came home form work and met with (e:kara) about public relations and changing some stuff on the site. Some of it is big changes, some of it is little changes. First of all I fixed the inlink system so that it is as easy as the regular elinks. Hopefully, this will make connecting journal entries much easier which I think is an important thing to make easy as it makes reading and understanding the flow of jorunals much easier. I encourage you peeps to always link between your own and other epeeps directentries e.g. (e:news,782) instead of just (e:paul) You
basically just add a comma in between the username and the specific entry and it makes follwong a conversation a lot easier for readers. I will retrofit all of your old inlinks this weekend.
So bye bye, inlink chains. I feel free-er already. Here is what (e:kara) and I discussed.
goals:
more committed users - what make some ~100 user sign up but not write. What makes people tired of writing?
strategies to achieve this goal:
ongoing viral marketing projects; incentive programs (contests for new users, mobile users); signage in college residence halls and college newspapers.
Newbie Guide focusing on "what to do when you get to the (e:strip)" - publishing and chatting, to start.
- additional sections: why you should draw; why you should use epad; uploading media; using links, file sharing with gather, testmonials?
Promote Bonus Features: remember buffalo; gather; documeet; media library; sounds and music.
For Paul:
updating each user's profile page to be more free sort of like a mini myspace; converting the newbie email to plaintext from HTML to avoid email system inconsistences; popup messages should appear on the page as they are posted, not after a page reload - live private messenging; add a musical note icon to the "sound on";
Explore options for partnerships with verizon, cingular, tmobile to promote mobile features.
Side Note:
I also "completed" my truly awesome web site maker today. Now you can include PHP or HTML/javascript snippets on a per page basis. So basically, it has the option to be parsed using estrip's textBling parser or to just use regular HTML, CSS, javascript, PHP markup. I may user part of the concept for the new profiles. I want some sort of drag and set layout for pictures music, text, etc.
