I started programming my first iphone app that lets you take a pic and send it to your journal. So far I got the take a pic or select from your library and send it to the site. I am able to capture on the site and save the photo. The next step is like some sort of loading feedback and adding username password protection.
The real issue is then I can't just post it on the site for everyone to use once it's done. You are going to need some sort of itunes acct and get it from apple "if" they approve my app. Its all really annoying. Maybe I will just get sick of it and quit, lol.
Seems really lame to me that you can't just distribute your own apps to your own audience.

AngryCategory: mustache
I am a petty, angry person right now. I went out to the bars tonight and someone had the same freakin mustache as me. This made me really angry. Not like I expect to have a monopoly on the mustache but seriously who has this kind of mustache anymore and how did they have to be like two feet away from me.

The Cat and the gymCategory: life
So, today I petted a cat for the first time in my life. It even sat on my lap. I am very allergic now - we were outside - it was cute. Right now I feel like I might die of allergies.
work
Great day web programming at work - it feels like I don't get to do that much anymore. I have upgraded to Zend studio Neon which is built on top of eclipse like all my other IDEs (flex and aptana) I think I am happy with this accept for the fact that eclipse does not have word wrap - what the fuck!
estrip
Tommorow is the big day to move the server to (e:fing)'s house. I wish it could be at my house instead as it costs $99/month - at least that way I could kill two birds with one stone but alas - FIOS is still no where near my part of the city.
Gym
I have been going the gym evry day, I am looking buffer already. I think by the end of summer I should be pretty buff if I keep up with it and I don't get some horrible crohn's drama death thing - so far the Lialda seems to be working great.

It is to bad it can't be at your house also. But I look at it from a security point of view. I'm not saying anything bad about (e:fing). But what could happen is what if something happens or there is some (e:strip) drama or something along those lines having the server at the persons house who doesn't run (e:strip) could become a problem. I'm not attacking him but from a point of security it isn't the best.
In terms of the cat. I'm not saying you should like them or even want one. But maybe if you did pet it you know that it isn't the cats fault you are allergic to it. On a second note I remember it seemed like months ago that you said there was a cat living in your back yard, is this that same cat or a new cat in the backyard? Oh and since it let you pet him and by that video he was or may still be someones pet.

Worst most awesome dayCategory: work
Squiddy The Kitty
Just sits at the door crying for us all day. I threw him some squid. It was the nicest thing I ever did for a cat.
Work
At work today I had to work with a person that someone refered to as the "obstructionist." It was really irritating experience. To start off they just forgot about our scheduled meeting to get the task done that I have waited since January for and lots of people depend on. After showing up 15 minutes late, they then spent like 15 minutes huffing and puffing and berating everything non-windows - calling Unix based server amateur operating systems. Eventually, I just left their cube as it was not worth my time arguing with them as it was getting nowhere.
I am so sick of hearing it from this small group of fundamentalist microsoftees - we made the decision to use PHP and CentOS Linux with MySQL for internal web dev - its over. We bought the hardware, the developers have bought into it - its saving us a ton of time - its rebust, speedy and secure and its making everything auditable, its basically working out awsome and we are expanding it.
Its really funny that some people are so Microsoft but they don't even use the latest stuff or get under the hood much. I mean they use Windows server 2003. Doesn't that sound pre-fuc%ing-historic at this point. I am not syaing that everythign microsft sucks. I am just saying it is totally unprofessional to pretend there is nothing outside of it and not to look into more feature filled, more secure, cheaper and more robust alternative when they exist and were created for 2008. We are talking an operating system made 5 years ago vs one made this year.
Luckily, my linux hero co-worker was there and everything worked out. We basically just computed around him and now the same goal is reached.
I never even ended up eating lunch today which I am sure is not a good thing. Instead I ate two dinners, one before and one after the gym.

Thanks (e:jaosn). Thats what I am thinking. Its not like Roswell isn't publically funded, so why waste money when there are free alternatives and the money can be used for more hardware, new employees, additional research, etc.

Don't sweat the personality conflict too much. I never understand these petty fights.
As a taxpayer I applaud you for not paying Microsoft big dollars for SQL Server licenses. Bravo!

Someone take this catCategory: pets
I wanted to make a funny terrorist video where I dressed up like a terrorist and threated to kill the cat in 30 hours if noone met my demands, which by the way were to take the cat, but I am too lazy so this is what you get. Here is the cat chasing me around. It wants to be petted constantly.

Aw he's the second-cutest kitty! He looks just like Chita Rivera who, weirdly enough, seems to be hypo-allergenic despite her freakish amounts of fur.

ok paul, first of all, that cat is not chasing you, lol.
But matt telling the cat to roll over reminds me of this- it's my friend's friend's cat... somehow this video totally cracks me up.

I have a massive crush on you right now and I am singing this song!

holy shit! you look so cool.
Yes that one but here in 2008 - not so popular.
If you mean the one like in your new avatar, it is extremely popular in Delhi. (or at least was back in 2005)
