Journal 10,000
Category: estrip

I couldn't wait any more. It was at 9999 for like 5 minutes. I am so excited that the site has made it this far. I hope that in the near future we will expand it even further we some PR help from (e:ladycroft) and (e:mike) in addition to a whole slew of new mobile features.

I also think we should expand the radio programming but we need djs to record programs or host them live.

My main goal is going to be to make more fun interfaces and many more mobile features. Maybe we can convince some mobile dealer to give us a group discount! Hope to see you all at the party on saturday.

IE PNG javascript fix and php.net
Category: programming

After a year of using a self made PHP solution for handling transparent jpeg in MSIE I switched over to client side solution I wrote in javascript. It saves the server the xtra work and it allows the cache to work properly by serving one identical image to both browsers and just fixing it afterward in IE. I mean why should the server fo extra work for the broken browser. I think the if people are going to use lame crappy browsers it reasonable to make the crappy browser work harder.

You should see a quote with no background color here.

I also posted my first contribution to php.net

today. I would have contributed before but I didn't realize it was so easy to post a comment.

wild world of animals
Category: pets

Our house is becomming a zoo. (E:matthew) bought a beta fish
because katie had one. It is red, white and blue as are all beta fish
sold around the fourth of july it seems.

I tagged along as part of longterm thesis denial program tha I am
participating in.

For some reason Markheims has all these signs about avoiding animal
cruelty by not playing games at carnivals where you can win animals. It
seems ironic in a place where they have grey parrots in tiny wire
cages.

I really don't know how I feel about betas. They seem so sad in those
little bowls but when (e:matthew) bought a 20 gallon tank for the other
one it died. And it had been doing great in the smaller container.
Hope the new freedom fish will be happier in a crystal bowl with peace
lillies.

Like you, Paul, i used to think that betas didn't like those wee little bowls, either. until i met a beta that jumped. an ex roomate of mine used to have a long narrow beta tank. it had 4 dividers so she could have 4 fish in the same tank, but with lots of plants by the glass dividers 'cause betas aren't known for being social. lol. sadly, one died, so their human decided to be nice. she cleaned their tank out and gave the bigger one 2 sections. he didn't like that, and he kept jumping out of the tank. she tried to put more plants in there, and it worked for a short while. he started jumping out of the tank again. so, she had to put mesh on the top to keep him in. but he died. i guess the idea of open space wasn't appealing to him. she had him for over a year before he became the jumping beta. since then, i am convinced these fish link the wee little bowls. i guess they like the security?
