Boring, Cold, Programming Weekend

Well, I never intended to spend my entire weekend programming again, it is suposed to be summer after all, but the weather did not cooperate with my life and I am trying to save money for the mansion (e:paul,4343)

I fixed some mini bugs that were annoying me and added a bunch of new stuff like the autosave and restore features, redid the autodirections for wap, PDAs and xhtml phones. You should just be able to go to estrip.org now. I fixed the size of the new user default pics and made it stamp their names on the defualt pics so you can see who is there.

The 300 magnetic bumpster stickers should be here this week. I am so curious if it will help raise the number of epeeps. We got two new ones today. Maybe its a sign of expansion. I would really like to have 1000 members although some part of me if a little stressed out at dealing with that many people alone. I would definately need some greeters/official question answerers.



I also updated my portfolio and worked on my thesis a tiny bit. I still can't believe it will end either way soon enough.

I am still working out.



Maybe next year I will make it to San Francisco for the breakers race that (e:ajay,474) was talking about. I guess a whole bunch of people run it naked They even raise money to help cure Leukemia and Lymphoma

Downtown Best Western Gay Bashers?

Saw this at Buffalo Outcome - Here is the whole article

BUFFALO HOTEL OWNERS SON BASHES GAY COUPLE

. . .Jim Johnson described the scene for Outcome, "Out of nowhere Dennis Tripi Jr. jumps behind the counter and tells us we are not allowed to swear in the hotel.. The clerk witnessing the scene, tells us to leave and they won't charge us for the room." Randy Orlando acknowledged the clerks offer, but it includes an expletive (something like "about fucking time")."



Tripi, 39 grabbed a bully club from behind the counter and strikes Orlando in the face drawing blood. Tripi chases my Orlano and continuing to beat him.

When learning that the police had been called Tripi, a Tonawanda resident left the hotel, leaving Orlando covered with blood and with multiple bruises and a broken nose . . .

Sang's Graduation from Canisius at UB

Congratulations Sang. I hope you enjoyed your stay in America, we will miss you.

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

We are at Sang's graduation from Canisius which is being held at UB North Campus. We got here 10 minutes after it started nd there are no seats. So we went up to the top and I took some pictures, then security said we couldn't be there, so we moved the another larger open area where lots of families who didn't find seats were standing.



Then the secuirty came and told us we all had to leave and that they were putting a TV in the hallway for us to watch it on. argh. I hate every minute of being at UB North Campus. I can't wait till the day I never have to visit it again.

Last night we went with sang and his aunt and uncle to Korea houe. I had this firey hot squid dish. It was one of the best squid meals I ever had. The squid was big and meaty.

Trip To The Washington Market

(e:enknot) and I went to the Washington Market for lunch today. I forgot to get pics of the food but it was delicious as usual. I ate the southwestern grill cheese sandwich $5.50. It is seriously yummy. A bunch of cheese, avacado, tomato, and (for $1.50 extra) chicken.

Washington Market (362-3181) (MAP TO: 461%20ELLICOTT%20STREET)
Monday - Friday 6:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Saturday 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Sunday 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Yes, it is on Ellicott not Washington St.

On the way back we parked off of high street near Michigan St (Harriet Tubman Way) and there are three empty lots together. One was just knocked down today and looked liek a freshy tilled field. I will try and get a pic this weekend. The old looking farm house but it has all these warning signs saying they sprayed rat toxin (MAP TO: 200%20HIGH%20STREET)

Anyways, how long do you think it will be before parts of the city are completely returned to "nature". That whole area is being knocked down and re-natured, will it raise the property value. Will it become the urban rural? Will Roswell just keep expanding?







There were two interesting products that I did not buy. However, that Washington Market is sensational. I would suggest everyone stop what you are doing and go there right away.


They had some black velvet popcorn . I would have bought it but I am no longer eating popcorn from bags after the whole cancer scare



Fiji Water - what the fuck is this about. I mean do we really need water that is imported from Fiji (WIKIPEDIA - fiji) . According to the bottle the sand in fiji filters the water is some special way. I don't believe anything about filtered water. One time (e:terry) and I drove to Poland Springs in Maine and it was a dried up recess in the ground. I bet the same is with Fiji water.

Beautiful Errors

Well I don't officially know if they are beautiful yet as I am not officially a master of fine art - not until february. This happend as an accident. I was using surebert for an ajax front end to an applictaion and I wanted the repsonses to be in random places on the page so that it was easy to debug.

I got back into my ide but left the browser window open. When I went back, 3000 queries later, the system has drawn me this image based off the following basic colorization code, a little surebert and some error magic.











Here is the tiny simple code that made it happen

function mv(obj,x,y,z){
    if(typeof(obj)=='string'){
        obj = $(id);
    }
    obj.style.position='absolute';
    obj.style.left = x +'px';
    obj.style.top = y +'px';
    if(z!=undefined){obj.style.zIndex=z;}
}

function rand(min,max){
    min = min || 0;
    max = max || 100;
    return Math.floor(Math.random()*max+min);
}

function randColor(grey){
    if(grey == 1){
        grey = rand(0,255);
        return "rgb("+grey+","+grey+","+grey+")";    
    } else {
        return "rgb("+rand(0,255)+","+rand(0,255)+","+rand(0,255)+")";    
    }
}

Another fun day with formulas

I am beginning to love formulas and flow charts. Who knew an art degree would lead to logic and math problems.

Roswell lunches makes big legs

The Roswell Park cafeteria keeps topping itself. Yesterday was Baja Burger Bar.

I got the turkey burger with potato salad but I took a picture of (e:enknot)'s burger because it had better presentation quality.

Ride for Roswell

It's the time of the year to participate in the Ride for Roswell Cancer Fundraiser.

Some of you might be interested in riding. I remembered that (e:mrdt) said he was thinking about doing it. Are you still doing it, is anyone else riding?

Here is a video about it.

They are looking for volunteers to help out at the event, people to donate and riders.
