ruby on railsCategory: conference
This has become a ruby in rails promtion event. which is fine with me. The speaker just went off how hard php is to maintain because it's all speghetti code. The way he talked about it, it seemed like the only php code he saw was code that hobby programmers wrote for php3.
Woman1: this is crazy. It used to be an event that promoted microsoft. Didn't he see how many peole raised their hand for .net
woman2: well, I am going to try ruby if it's the future.
woman1: I don' think microsoft will support it. All our servers are microsoft, and it's too expensive to switch.
hahaha

So I made itCategory: conference
I am at the san fran web design world conference now despite freaking out about thinking I was enrolled n the wrong connference.
They just asked developers what they are using. Hands went up and percentages you would expect for microsoft's .net, php,and java technology. What surprised me that only like two people raised their hands for rails. I was totally surprised.
Did you guys know tthat less than 5% of people publish more than once a week on their blogs?

Jake Gyllenhaal and Squeeling PigsCategory: celebrities
Our (e:lilho) leave all her gossip magazines at our house. My favorite quote from one is this quote from Jake Gyllenhaal.. Who enjoys a pig being slaughtered. Is he being sarcastic?

I'm not exactly a PETA member, but when I was in DR I repeatedly witnessed pigs being killed in these little shacks along the sides of the highways. It was hard to watch, but in the USA they at least take into some consideration "humane" treatment of the animals. Who are we to judge though? Thats like being mad at the residents of a 3rd world country for having the temerity to find a way to feed itself.
Ted Nugent and his family only eat what he kills himself. I saw him on TV with his daughter, who is absolutely gorgeous, and he proudly stated: "Look at my daughter - she has never ate anything that I didn't hunt myself!" Well, maybe so, but if you are working with runway model genes you could have probably fed this girl dog food for 18 years and she would have been gorgeous.

"A" farm? Any random farm? Does he just knock on their home's front door, expecting free milk just because he's Jake Gyllenhaal? I can only imagine what goes through the family's mind when he lowers the glass from his lips and says, "So where do you kill the pigs?"

Making ChangesCategory: work
I have made all these board sweeping changes to the site code as I have been adapting it for another major project in the last week. There is still a lot more old clutter I want to get rid of, but it is very scary working on it a few days before I will have no computer for a week. I just hope that my device will be able to save me in a pinch.
I mean I think it is all good but there is only so much testing one human can do in a day.

I find refactoring code to be a pain in the butt, but there's this wonderful "spring cleaning" feeling at the end of the whole process. That is, after I deal with all those nagging feelings of "why in the heck did I ever do something this messy to begin with?" during this transition from messy to clean.

you're not bringing your vaio with you?
you're not bringing your vaio with you?
I am worried about Surebert for you - I would try to take steps to protect it if you can.
so that means you're smart! yaay!
They didn't exist when I started develpment on surebert.
so does that mean you're really smart because you developed your own, or really dumb because you didn't use someone else's? ;)
