Videos From Today

My new camera is pretty sweet. It even remixes your pictures and videos into emotionally driven slide shows with music and everything. Kind of cuts out the middle man. I love programs that can do stuff like that. Ate at Palm Tree on Allen. Their curry goat is insanely delicious but you seriously have to be careful of bone fragment. I can't imagine how sharp the knife is that they use to hack the bones into splinters and cubes.



Afterwards, (e:enknot) came over and we shot the shit for a while waiting for (e:lilho) and (e:tina) to come over.

Once they got there (e:lilho) and (e:enknot) argued about the prospects nick being in tony's band.


Just imagine sarah being this loud and excited for three hours.

Tina spilled coke on my rug and Sarah vacuumed it up with the green machine that we got for our housewarming from my cousins Jennifer and Scott. No, not that kind of coke.

The green machine worked so well, and (e:lilho) worked it also. There is a video here so you can see for yourself.

Then they gave (e:enknot) a ride home.

Terry being cute





Wow my journal is way more fun with video.

Ate lobster and went to the gym

I went back to the gym tonight. I kind of miss it. Unfortunately, (e:terry) my gym partner has had it with the gym so I don't know how much more gym will be in our lives. I would like to start going three times a week though.

When I got home I cooked some yummy lobster and ramen noodles. I love that combination. It is so ridiculous that the lobster costs $12 and the ramen noodles cost $0.15 but they honetsly compliment each other well.

Caught a lot of mice with our new humane mouse trap that traps them inside so we can keep them a freakin' pets? (e:matthew) refuses to put them outside because they could "freeze to death in winter" They are freakin' cute though but 6 is really enough. I am really glad we started catching them before it got out of control. I would like to feed them to the squirrel's but (e:matthew) wont let me. The squirrels love to eat things like mice and baby birds.

windows propaganda and meat

I am at a windows propaganda speech. Norhing is new. They actally just pimped out tabbed browsing and wigdets as radical new features. Too bad konfabulator, apple from them, opera, google, yahoo and firfox have already done all that.

I guess I have to give them credit for their mobile operatung sysrem. It seems pretty good and I'm typing this on it right now.

I am going to post the whole video to youtube later for your viewing displeasure.


The video is still "evaluating"


At roswell they actually had some sick pork. It just smelled wrong. It was the first time I disliked their food. I considered actually being vegetarian again for a second.


The other camera


However, this veggie meat looks even sicker.


(e:eknot) stayed after to ask the microsft guy lots of questions, then we drilled him about the secuirty hole with the clipboard viewing code. He didn't know about it.


Memory management in vista sounds insane.


There was so much traffic on the 290 on the way there. It felt like being in a real city. Maybe there is always traffic and I just never leave my neighborhood. It is weird working only a block away from work. It is like I never leave the microcosm much anymore.

Long Day

I spent a lot of today retrofitting old code. I love the feeling of refactoring old code. It is quite exciting like getting a haircut.

Anyways, I was visiting the smoothy demo for surebert when I came across this collage. if you remember, smoothy basically takes a web address, eats all the pics from the page and then displays it as a gallery. It also gives you the code to display the gallery on your own site.

The default view is cnn.com and for some reason there was the picture of a woman with a crown on at the far right. What can that possibly be about.



I have this insane desire to earn more money but I am stuck with not enough hours in the day to manage anything. I wish I had an investor with connections as I have several good ideas which just need funding.

New Camera and New Gather

First gather has been updated. Now you can see what you uploaded and delete or download it as well as organize little colored post its in your login view. You can drag them around and change their color by clicking the little rainbow dots to sort them in your view. The system remembers where they belong from loging to login - even across computers.



Today I played with my new wifi compatible camera. It seems pretty cool but at the same time I am not convinced about the quality of the images yet. It says it takes pictures at 7.2 megapixels but I have been taking most picture at 640x480 for my journal and the pics are not that great at that resolution.

It does great with video

Here are the pics of zoar valley. We went there with Anika. Basically, it was late so we just walked out on point peter and climbed down the cliff and then back up before retiring. It was a real workout.

Along the edge I found this footprint way on the edge of like a 150 foot dropoff. I wonder if it was someones last footprint. I mean a bunch of poeple have died here.

Squirting a Song - The zunesquirt

You will never believe that Microsoft chose to name the act of sharing a song with Zune over wifi - "squirting." Yes squirting. If you type squirt (GOOGLE - squirt) or squirting (GOOGLE - squirting) into google you can see there are a multitude of other meaning that all deal with sex or shitting. I wonder if those sites will be sad when wireless music sharing comes up first. Why did they not call it "zuning" which would have tied in better with the name of the product?



How funny would it be if you got a virus from unprotected squirting?

Quoted from newsweek

Nov. 27, 2006 issue - Have you squirted a song yet? That's the question Microsoft hopes your friends will ask you as you ponder which digital music player to acquire. Although you are more likely to buy an iPod this season-something even Microsoft admits-the software giant from Redmond is running a huge marketing campaign that it hopes will plant some seeds of doubt. After all, iPods don't squirt songs. And Microsoft's new player, Zune, does.

The catch is that the squirt is fast-drying-in three days it goes away. Or, if the recipient plays it three times within that period, it evaporates after the third spin. This is because Microsoft cut a lousy deal with the record labels, which still regard innovative digital schemes as potential piracy threats, as opposed to potential sales boosters. My guess is that people will be turned off that the songs expire so quickly.

Here is an article that someone has written on roughly drafted about the zune.

Home Depot Textures

I was so bored with my trip to home depot today. We are adding new gas pipes for on of the fireplaces. Honestly, since the vacuum stage is over, I finad that store less and less appealing.

Fun Kind Of Programming Day

I had a much better day programming today. At work I met with the Human Resources guy who I am working for and we were able to clarify a lot of questions I had about the employee evaluation system. I still had to wait to make some changes because the database guy had the day off today and I do not have privileges to change anything.

Almost no one was at work today. It felt weird being there alone in the evening but it was pretty productive. I got a lot of programming done and the system seems promising after all.

I also came home and added a whole lot of new features to surebert including multi file upload via the mini surebert flash file but exposed as a javascript service. I wish I had bothered doing that before. I should be done with the new version this weekend and then I will add it to estrip. Soon you will no longer need to upload one file at a time, thank god.

I am also excited because tomorrow I am getting my new Wifi camera that will speak to my journal. It is the Nikon s7c I love the idea of high resolution wifi communication between my new fancy camera and my journal.
