Tapes
Category: music
I used to have 30 or 40 really great tapes from DJ sets. 1995-2000-ish.

I can't even remember the names of most of them, where I got them, or what was on the tapes, but I miss them so much. It's hard to mentally reconstruct the day to day and soundtrack of my life back then, it's so far out of reach and far from the ken of my current life. If I actually ever heard certain tracks again I think my head would explode from nostalgia.

And then I see this:



WTF sea of white baseball caps??! Drinking beer and bobbing your head? Weak. Don't kids dance anymore?

God damn it. I dance like I have polio but, beer? bobbing heads?

What is wrong with kids today.

Maybe they need some drugs or something....jk sort of. I just watched this documentary (thanks to felly's recommendation of tv links) about Ecstasy. I thought it was very interesting. :::link:::

Wow, it relly just looks like they do not know what to do. You should realy convert all those tapes and upload them to youtube, I would love to see them.

Jocks still wear White Baseball Caps? I though that ended after Columbine???

10 terabytes of storage... 12 processors...

Now I have a sad 533mhz Mac :(

My iPhone has a faster processor then my Mac!

But actually I mostly don't notice how slow it is, except when I run unit tests, those take about 15 seconds to start up versus about 2 or 3 on my laptop.
james - 08/21/07 21:12
I would just like to note that this is at work. His own laptop is freakin' sweet.

My Project
Category: work
So, the project that I've been working on the past couple weeks is up.

DailyClimber

It's a site that sells one camping or climbing item per day at a really good price. Sort of like [link="http://woot.com"]woot.com[/link] (woot is not my site)

Let me know if you check it out and it looks broken (an all too likely possibility)?


jim - 08/21/07 11:58
I am not sure what they are either...
fellyconnelly - 08/21/07 11:47
I don't think that Trango MaxCams wear underwear in public either. but then i don't really know what a trango maxcam is.
tinypliny - 08/21/07 01:17
You are most welcome! LMK if you need more omega testing. :)
jim - 08/21/07 01:12
Thanks, Tinypliny, I am fixing the links back to the store and touching up a few other places!
tinypliny - 08/21/07 01:05
Gosh so many spelling mistakes and omissions! And that too on correction-fluid day! Appalling!
tinypliny - 08/21/07 01:03
The email and rss links are fine too. But there is no way to click back to the home page of the from the checkout page. If a patron chacges their mind and wants to view the absobing Britney snippet again, the only option is to click the back button of the browser. How about adding a linkback to the homepage behind the title graphic of "Dailyclimber". Just a thought.
tinypliny - 08/21/07 00:56
Okay, your first beta tester is here. I clicked on everything clickable on that page. It works fine.
- No dead/broken links
- Google checkout works fine
- The interface is clean and intuitive. If I had the faintest idea what Trango MaxCams were, I might be interested in checking them out at this dealer's simply because of the uncomplicated navigation. :)
- The company "about" page leads to the first page of a post in a product forum.
- The company link itself links to the forum. Nice touch.
- The ever-so-tempting Trango MaxCams advertised at $254.99 are actually $282.30 after taxes.
- Since I need to survive on the bottom of the hillock at Ellicott Street, I fake-ordered 5 of these awesome whatever-cams and the change registered correctly at checkout.

Anything else you need this beta tester to checkout? :)

SInce the site is up and running, we are celebrating with wine.

Vinos Sin-Ley is freakin delicious.

Thanks Tinypliny & Libertad!

you know why this pic is so great? it is so interactive. you just really want to blow on it. it is so real.
tinypliny - 08/20/07 21:28
Here's where it would have been perfect to add "and I know where you live", but that would be untrue. "I know where you work" would be a poor substitute. Wait, I really don't know exactly where you work. So I can't say that either. Oh well.
tinypliny - 08/20/07 21:25
I (((<3LOVE<3))) this picture! I think you posted it on your photoblog before, but definitely not here. I know, because I stalked around your entire web presence some weeks back. Muaaahhaaaahahha *creepy stalkerish laugh, in case you didn't realize*
