I had a great time at the party, and was cool to finally meet (e:museumchick) and (e:ingrid) in person. By some circumstance I didn't run into (e:james), but I hope to at the next event. (e:uncutsaniflush) and I probably didn't solve (e:vycious)'s FTP problem, but it was fun trying.
I also have a mild case of geek envy for (e:paul)'s nokia device, but I'm going to try and hold off buying one myself because I'm supposed to be buying an iPhone for work and my gtk skills are a little rusty.
Thanks to PMT for hosting another great party!

Cupid goes postalCategory: love
A week ago, I write about how much I love that my girlfriend is up here.
Tonight, we discuss on the phone that we're not right for each other and that maybe we should break up.
Life's kinda ironic that way.

That's mighty effed up Carolinian, if you're at the St. Matty's Party let's raise a glass in honor of women who defy conventional logic.

That is Ironic. I know this isn't going to sound right but it sounds like one of those MTV reality shows. Someone comes to visit the other person and then when they get back home they break up over the phone. However I did notice something you said Maybe, so what ever happens I wish you luck.

I definitely understand that kind of irony. I'm sorry that things are working out this way for you, though.

Bang-up jobCategory: driving
I seem to be the latest victim in the round of car accidents happening to peeps. I got in one this afternoon after work. Everyone's still alive and breathing, though my car is pretty well smashed up and I may have to be shopping for a new one in the recent future.
I had imagined a more traditional first "honey I'm home" greeting for my currently visiting girlfriend (as opposed to "guess why I'm home so early and why I haven't returned with the car"). Well, I guess everyone can't be Ricky Ricardo.

haha, I was at Towne MINI yesterday, as a matter of fact, and highly recommend them. And, while I was waiting I got to test drive an '07 and it is very cool.

That's wretched about your car, but I'm glad to hear you're ok.
We are also having car issues - one of our cars was stolen last month (not Lucy, thank goodnes - the Grey Baron). We are in the process of replacing him now.
But hey! You're in Buffalo! That means you can buy a new car here: :::link:::
Yayness! :)

Now's a great time to get into bicycling to work. Think about it. You could get on the bike and pedal your way to your place of work! And it would be awesome in this weather.

The Main thing is that you are ok. Depending on how much damage was done if you wind up looking for a new car that will be an adventure but maybe getting a new car will be a good thing.

I was driving down an Orchard park highway and the other driver didn't see me and tried turning left across my lane and I didn't have enough seconds to stop, and was hit dead front in center.
The front of my car is pretty well pushed in. If one imagined a car's hood as its face, its headlights as eyes, and its grill as its mouth, then my car now bears a striking resemblance to a persian cat.

It's still sitting in lackawanna as we speak.

Sail the member shipCategory: programming
I finally bit the bullet and paid a substantial sum of money to join the elite club of A D C (A pple D eveloper C onnection), because if I want to get a machine in the near future, I can either choose to get the hardware discount that official developers get (which is offset by the exhorbitent membership that costs exactly the same amount as the developer hardware discount) or pay full price and get no membership at all. With membership, I get access to interesting stuff that I can't legally talk about but may prove useful in the future. In a sane world, work would pay for this membership and pay to send me to W W D C. Oh well, c'est la vie.
Yeah, it's kinda stupid I don't have anything better or more eventful to write about and resort to talking about geeky stuff. But I'm working towards the "100+" lettering on my userpic.

(in an attempt to spice things up a bit and have a little fun). Will the Stuff that you can't talk about be any help in getting more internet faster.

I did. They gave me this answer of "we don't feel we need that right now". It didn't help that the developers before me really didn't do anything with their membership and turned down the offer to be sent to W W D C at company expense.
I'm still getting the discount on the laptop anyways, and the discount should in theory lessen the amount of sales tax I have to pay on it, so I still end up saving money on a macbook pro by joining the program.

Did you ask them to pay for it and they said no? On another note I should start selling custom titles, like license plates or royal titles in days of yore.

It was very cool meeting you:). I hope to see you around again sometime.
