Drinking and Driving
Category: trash
I decided to clean the car out today in preparation of the upcomming move to the mansion and found so many bottles of drink in the car. No, non eof them are alcoholic ones but still. I think I have a problem - I need to start just buying larger sizes. Too bad every vending machine and cafeteria only has the tiny size.

My arms are getting bigger. I am deciding to concentrate of them for a while. I wish they would look like this when I am not flexing.

Okay, back to cleaning.

I think your arms look great but you need to concentate on your chest and back (pushing and pulling), like me.

2. What is up with Genesee Street by Eddie Brady's.

(MAP TO: 97%20GENESEE%20STREET)
Why has no one developed this area and what is the deal with the old photo gallery glass room. Was anyone in it? It seems like such a viable location being right at the end of chipewa.

Glad the house is offical now. In terms of that building I think it is verry cool. No idea why it hasn't been developed it looks like someone started and then stoped. That is also a tricky area. It is kinda on the outsirks of downtown and into the eastside. Hopefully those buldings will beocome something and the coblestone distract will grow as well. That one building is really cool. I think that would be an amazing window to look out of.
mrdt - 06/24/06 17:31
it looks like a flying ant...
leetee - 06/23/06 19:13
Yay about the house!

I don't know what the bugs are either. All bugs are evil...

Five years of pain?!? My word, i hope you can get some relief, finally. What the heck has been wrong all this time?
jenks - 06/23/06 15:39

Meeting with the Graphic Designers
Category: work
I had a meeitng with the graphic design team at my work today. They have a webpage they want put on an interactive CD. I think they have this preconception that a programmer can't possibly have a clue about graphic design.

The one worker explained the image size in inches and the other commented, "You will have to talk to Paul in pixels."
jason - 06/23/06 09:30
Well, that's the stereotype. Most programmers I know would look down their nose at "design" work.

Paul I think is a rare breed in this respect, because of his extensive art knowledge and experience.

I absolutely cannot stand the word "design" used in conjunction with programming. They are two separate jobs! At least they used to be, in the good ol' days. =)
kara - 06/22/06 13:50
Sometimes I try to talk in CSS and am saddened when no one understands me.
zobar - 06/22/06 13:21
I get that too, but it's cool- If you let on, you'll end up having to do all kinds of graphics work in addition to the stuff you get paid for.

Crappy Processed Food - Spam
Category: food
Can you believe that turkey spam cost $2.19. I find that hard to believe. It means that a can of turkey spam cost about the same as than buying a similar amount of turkey breast at the deli. That means that some poeple must just like it.

The thought of it kind of makes me sick. It reminds me of this one time I thought it would be fun to eat armyt rations. I am not sure where I got them from but I think I had expired diced turkey in a black pouch. It was really bad, since then i am a little scared of processed turkey.

What about fast franks seems fresh to you?

Can't remember what Sitcom it was but there was an episode where some guy gets arested because they think he is stealing but he is just making the number of Hotdogs and hot dog buns match. Yes they are sold in differant amounts. I think that Hot Dog Idea might take off.
ladycroft - 06/21/06 17:36
are you kidding me? people are too f*ing lazy to put a weiner in a bun!? they have to buy them pre-packaged like that? ugh.

New Backup System
Category: bug
The new backup system is more more sophisticated and can store an unlimited amount of text. The problem is that right now the stored copy does not go away when you publish and prompts you to restore when you get back to your journal. This only happens for those of you with flash 8.

So if you publish your journal and come back and it asks do you want to restrore from the saved copy, you can hit cancel. I will fix this tonght as it should automatically clear after you publish By hitting cancel it deletes the temporary backup text from memory.
