The Best Christmas Evar I
Category: unnerd
Ok,

I haven't posted in a long while. I know.

I've fallen victim to the instant gratification of Facebook like so many others (there I said it), but there's things that I wouldn't want to post there that I think are better suited here (like anything longer than 140 characters).

Quick update. Meg and I are getting along well(ish). We really don't have that many gripes between us and life is returning to something that we both might consider normal. She's in school for nursing and doing well at it, which makes me happy (as pigs in poop). It wasn't easy getting here but it was worth it and you get gems like Halloween 2009.

Mya's dad and step mom came down and we all went trick or treating.

Here's a video of us while we waited for everyone.

Halloween 2009



So the title. Here's a short video of the Fern on christmas morning. I have to get a bigger data card for my phone. The video isn't terrible as you can tell from halloween, but this vid cuts short of a lot of really cuuuuute things, sorry and sorry I've been gone for so long.

I didn't think she'd get through the box...but she did.

(E:strip) exclusive rousing finale

Kay that was kinda lame as an exclusive, but now that I know that those work I'll do more of them.

I have many more updates impending, but I'll get back to work for now. Maybe I'll see you at new year since the party's on. Otherwise, it's nice to be back.

Soo cute!

I'm really glad to hear that you and Meg are getting along. It is so awesome to see you guys spend time together with the kids. I think that is so important and I really commend you both for doing that.

GPhone
Category: nerd
So this is my first mobile post on my new HTC Hero, and I have to say, after a little bit of getting used to its prolly the best phone i have ever had.

The processor is a tad slow and it really can't stand much more than a few hour of constant useage before dieing, but all in all, its perdy solid.

This will be brief. I'm on a bathroom break so I don't have too much time but I will shoot up a shot from the phone so yall can see whaat kinda pics it takes. I even got a nice from (e:Matthew) on a shot I took with this ol' thing (that was exciting).

Windows Azure: MS Cloud Computing
Category: nerd
The MS opponent to Googles' ....Google. It is a platform that will allow you to develop and publish apps in a MS run data center.


I'll be updating this one too. Jim/Paul, I uploaded/emailed the vid 2 youtube, band as soon as I can see it I'll post it.

  • Sensitive data you should publish, you can't publish this stuff any place besides windows servers.
  • anyone can publish here, so crap software will make it in with a Windows Azure back end adding credulity to what evers on here.
  • example:

I updated the video...
paul - 07/22/09 00:08
How about the standard addEventListener?
paul - 07/21/09 23:57
I have it working now. I had to recompile ffmpeg to handle 3gp video with amr audio but now you should be good to go with windows mobile in the future. It auto converts to flv on the estrip server. You can upload form the mobile site up to 7MB for 3gp, flv and mp4 video.
enknot - 07/21/09 13:16
emailed it to youtube, I'll have it up asap...

"buncha old dudes" ... classic
jim - 07/21/09 10:29
What was the answer to the supporting IE6 question?
paul - 07/21/09 10:13
That video is killing firefox for some reason. You should post to youtube and link that.

Creepy
Category: unnerd
8:41 pm

I'm at SPoT elmwood right now and I wanna talk to someone cause Vic Lazar has to go to band practice, and you don't.

So. I've been without the company of a woman for quite a while now. Relationships end before you stop seeing each other. There's the hospice period, but let's move past this obscenity.

Um, I have guilt at some level for the urges that I know I must satisfy, but really I know I'm only human, so I try to put the ill feeling out of my mind. That's how I deal with everything difficult that I must endure. I put it out of my mind. It's served me at times and other times it really fucked me.

ANECDOTE --

I was 21ish 2nd or 3rd year in college and I met this girl who looked like Wendy of the famous fast food chain Wendy's. She was amazing. Bizarre. Unpredictable. Adorable. Celibate. Damn near straight edge. If you knew me at the time you'd know who much of a match we were.

She got into the Disney program and went to Florida. My band would suffer if I went so I stayed home. I felt like she took a pice of my life with her and it hurt so bad i just put her out of my mind. She'd come back eventually right? I wouldn't have to miss her at all if I were busy with other stuff till then.

I didn't call. I didn't write... not even on her birthday. OK, even then I must have realized how much of an ass-hole move that was, but what is forgiveness if not something with which you can forgive?. Even though I gave her a laptop to stay in touch with her.

Her friends were not impressed with me. When she called to break up with me I was totally unprepared. It eviscerated me. I was ruined.

I put it out of my mind. it passed.


-_-_-_-_


So I'm putting the guilt out of my mind. I'm putting the frustration out of my mind so I can function. I know that right now I am creepy. I do things that are impulsively inspired, and entirely outside of my control. I start behaving like that woman on the elevator at the C&V. She was so sickly sweet and invasive. Wearing a lab coat. Carrying test tubes. Persistent. Relentless. Her piercing eyes. Her wet constant mouth shaping those words. The questions she'd ask without trepidation.... ::shiver::

I did something crazy last night. There needs to be an account of this. it was a fantastic display of debauchery and bravery...ok alcohol. Big assed drink night at the Cathode is always the beginning of a journey you're not prepared for. It was fun. I'm glad it's over. I wish I could remember her name. Then I could find it in my phone and call her... it's in there. Mocking me.

This weekend will be awesome. I get the bb's and we're going to the art festival after nap time each day for as long as we can stand it. Her affection and love always distracts me from what ever ails me. I hope we see you out. I'll be the really happy tall one, she'll be the really curious short one.

Love you guys.
All my heart.
Tony.

'twas good to see you at Pink that one night many weeks ago. Thanks for the dance outside! ha ha!

I made it to "big drink night" at Cathode exactly once. I decided then that I had better get my tolerance up before trying again.

Should be out at the Art Fest Sunday, hopefully we'll see you and the bebbe! :) Take care!!
theli - 06/10/09 10:16
