Nice Day
Category: mobile
Had lunch with (e:enknot) and (e:jenks). Anytime you wanna do that again jenks, I would be delighted.

image

(e:jenks) and (e:enknot) having my favorite kind of dorky discussion about computers and social networking.

image

Afterwards, I had a pleasant afternoon working on a programming project I not so fond of but am making the best of.

I worked a lot on this magicTable object for the project. That part was fun. I seem to never tire of javascript.

I finally asked my supervisor about getting a patent on one of my latest creations. I hope it works out.

On the way home there was this computer sitting on the lawn looking really sad. I hope they never put me outside like that when my technology is outdated.

yeah that computer is sad. Just sitting in the grass? But lunch was fun. (not so sure about that pic though...) I think you're a good luck charm- I haven't had an hour long lunch in i don't know how long. :)

About the computer pic - ever been by a nursing home only to see some elderly folks in rocking chairs out on the front porch? That pic kind of gave me that feeling.

P.S. that apple and that piece of candy were definitely bait.

Mobile Snaps in Time
Category: photos
Here I am being silly and carefree

Here I am being a freak about to go mobile.

(e:twisted) says I don't look nearly as evil as here (e:paul,3822)

Someone left this apple and candy on a table in the hallways at Roswell. Did they really think someone was going to pick up some candy or an apple in a hospital and eat it? It seems so intentional. I mean it is screaming danger to me. Was I brought up to be too careful?

The city removed those orange barrels from the street near the BAC next to the courthouse and jail but forgot to remove the tire rims that held them in place. They have been there for a while now. It;s kind of trashy.

Boring, Cold, Programming Weekend
Category: boring
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.

image

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.

image

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

I do tend to get away with murder. Although I think it's more because of my earnestness. ;-)

I'll also have to be team photographer, since you naked runners won't have any place to stash a spare memory card. Hey, anything for charity. ;-)
paul - 05/23/06 03:36
Sounds good, I am all about running naked through the streets.
ajay - 05/23/06 02:43
Paul's progress reminds me of this "Bullworker" ad from the 70s, about a guy kicking sand in a skinny guy's face (in front of his chick), and the skinny guy then works out and becomes buff.

I think getting accosted in the subway did wonders for Paul..

And hey Paul: next year, come over and run in the B2B! I will _definitely_ be running. We can have an "ESTRIP.ORG" team! (e:Twisted) will be our booze agent, smuggling kegs for us (just look at her face, noone would suspect her...)
jason - 05/23/06 00:59
Wow, I'm really impressed by your progress. You look great!
ladycroft - 05/21/06 22:24
lookin good paul!

Downtown Best Western Gay Bashers?
Category: hotel
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")."

image

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

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::



image

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.

image

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.

That is insane what is that about. They Used to have them at The Arena.
jenks - 05/20/06 13:05
anyone else find it a little odd for one school to hold its graduation on another school's campus?
