Rainbows

So I said in the comments on (e:leetee,154) that I had soe rainbow pics too. I wish (e:matthew) had his camera because it was really pretty. I just had my cell phone cam, which is only 1.3MP. This view is from main street.

It was so bright (e:matthew) had to wear (e:lilho)'s sunglasses

on the way to the symposium

Argh, I never recovered enough clipboard data so it was back to estrip and porn poems at the last minute.

I am finally recycling the lemonade. Well at least the bottles live in the trunk and not in my cubicle.

Wireless Power Cords

One of my coworkers sent an email about this wireless extension cord

. (e:terry) and I had talked about this being a possible reality for a while. It sounds mega dangerous to me.

Here is the description from their site.

Just plug the Wireless Extension Cord (WEC) base unit into a standard wall outlet, and plug whatever you need into the satellite unit. The WEC uses microwaves in the 7.2GHz range, so it won't interfere with wireless networks, Bluetooth components, etc. Now, all you need to do is adjust the antennae on the two units so they are aimed at each other. Turn everything on and you have the power! The distance the WEC units can broadcast differs from situation to situation (due to interference of such things as walls, power lines, and microwave ovens), but we've beamed power over 300 feet! The future is wireless - and the WEC's are your ticket to the future.

Warning: Even though these microwaves are about as harmful as the leakage from an ordinary microwave oven (not much), do not put computers, televisions, other sensitive electrical equipment, food, liquids, paper, glass, flammable substances, magnets, or living things in between the base and satellite units. Just in case.

Back Post

These are bunch of pics that never made it into specific journal entries but needed to leave my phone.

They are doing some abestos work at Roswell tomorrow in my building. Suddenly, the signs dissapeared on wednesday and I have no idea if it is happening now. Luckily, I won't be there most of the day because of the Poetry Symposium at UB that I had forgotten about.

Here is some food I ate, I know how everyone loves those pics, lol.
Home

Food at Globe Market

Salad at the infoteh niagara dinner

I have a problem with lemonade.

Salad at Globe Market, yummy, yummy, yum

Salmon and Tuna after the gym

We made it from our house on Linwood to HSBC in Kenmore on Deleware in under 10 minutes. You can see the timestamp on each pic. I am missing 8:57.

i hate flash

At first I loved it. I was like this is so great and then I started to realize why I hated it before. If everything was programmed or everything was made with the UI it would be fine but the fact that some stuff can get changed in the UI and then its not obvious in the programming is annoying. Right now I have a movie clip that unfortunately got scaled in an unfavorable way. It is really annoying me.

Don't worry these are not real patient's skin, but pictures off of google.

I am way happy to be programming for helping to cure cancer rather than for some stupid social networking bullshit. I just realized that yesterday. I have all kinds of plans now on what cool stuff I can make.

Strange Day

I had this weird kind of depression all day today. Maybe it is because I was making a web based skin cancer viewer and I unfortunately used real picsture of skin cancer off google to test it out all day. I think I can tell a cancerous mole from a non-cancerous one now. It's kind of ironic because all I wanted to do was go outside and sit in the sun.

The viewer is supposed to be able to pull up patient charts and allow the doctor to zoom, change saturation, brightness, contrast and sharpeness. Luckily flash can do all that in its more modern incarnation. Then they get to tag and annotate the images. So kind of like a mini flickr for cancer.

I generally hate working with flash though. Everytime I feel like I am excited about it a new version of actionscript comes out and everythign changes. With Actionscript 3 just around the corner I am just not as motivated to btoher with version 2.

There are so many things going on with the internet that I want to program and it is all moving to fast. Sometimes, i just get overwhelmed with it all.

To Whom it may concern

To Whom it may concern - I can see the potential and need of this web site. Although there are some essential issue which I believe need addressing ASAP, from a design point of view. 1st- this being a no brainer, color, white type on a green background happens to be one of the worst choices possible, next to blue type on a red back ground. Please for all those concerned think design, legibility, etc.
Thanks
Also: how do I retrieve images?

Fuck you I am confident that light green with white text is fine, if you can't handle it, try one of the 16 other themes that are avaiable to you on this free site. If that still is not good enough find anpother site because I have no interest in your opinion until you are established participant in this community. Even then, I probably will not care.

Mortgage

One company offered us the money. So it may be a mansion in my future after all. The real test is when we go to the bank tomorrow to see about refinancing the other property. It would honestly be so nice to be able to walk one block to work. I don't think it could get more ecofriendly than that. If I retired at Roswell I would never need to own my own car.

I updated the codebase for loudfeeder and picfeeder. The new version allow syou to make changes to previously posted feeds. I will probably release it tomrorow night after I meet with (e:jim).

Hope this wasn't a huge mistake

Mitch,
After careful consideration, I have decided not to pursue another career right now as I really enjoy my job at Roswell. I appologize for taking so long to get back to you.

Thank you for your time.

Best of luck,
Paul Visco
