Family trip to Jim's at 2:30am
Category: food

Considering I ate some egg, a slice of watermelon and a yogurt in the last 24 hours - I think a chicken finger club and fries is in order.

Ya I think its because the photo coloring is all off.

metalpeter - 07/30/11 18:54
I Myself don't do the chicken finger thing but Jim's is awesome....

mike - 07/30/11 10:50
wow that sub totally does not look as appealing as I remember it looking last night!

I didn't know you were this serious about joining the rest of America.

Estrip android app
Category: programming

I was working on an update to the estrip android app which checks for network connectivity first instead and displays a nice little message instead of force quitting. I added this little homage to (e:tinypliny) who is the one that discovered the issue as I had never tried the app on a device with no network connection.

Just to give you an idea how unusual this is on a mobile android device - this is the message for the google marketplace. I think mine looks better.

tinypliny - 08/01/11 19:15
Okay so the message is appearing when I disconnect from wifi altogether by turning off the wifi but earlier when I was connected to an extremely weak wifi the older message appeared. I will update you if this happens again.

paul - 08/01/11 17:59
Are you sure you have version 1.17

What happens in airplane mode.

tinypliny - 08/01/11 17:33
Somehow I don't see this pretty message... It still shuts down when I am not connected to the network

paul - 07/30/11 19:29
Did it work?

paul - 07/30/11 02:02
Should be version 1.17 it showed up on (e:mike)'s phone.

tinypliny - 07/30/11 00:15
Its not turning up in the list of updates. Do I uninstall and then install it?

paul - 07/29/11 23:54
Okay, the app is updated :::link::: go and get it.

tinypliny - 07/29/11 18:53
haha. awesome. I was really surprised you could pull off such a nifty trick. I don't even know 1/8th of the things that phone can do.

My new friend birdo
Category: pets

He doesn't have a name yet but he is so cute. He is actually (e:matthew)'s pet but he sat on my shoulder for like an hour and kept giving me kisses. He is so snuggly and cute compared to the rock. I hope the rock doesn't eat him.

tinypliny - 08/20/11 15:18
Since they are rimless they actually look pretty awesome. Dinky frames make people look petty.

tinypliny - 08/20/11 15:17
I like your glasses.

tinypliny - 07/29/11 20:01
I know you told me but what kind of a bird is he? You should teach him to speak!

tinypliny - 07/29/11 20:00
hehe, that gif is hilarious.

metalpeter - 07/29/11 17:41
Since he has what looks like a MoHawk or hove ever you spell it start there?

tinypliny - 07/29/11 15:41
HAHAHA @ new avatar! You should try and make him dance and speak.

tinypliny - 07/29/11 15:40
He probably thinks you are all next of kin.

tinypliny - 07/29/11 15:40
That is so cute! Too bad s/he was trying to sleep yesterday while we had all that linux drama. Birdo might have known the answer!

Straight Guys?
Category: str8

I decided to check out google circles again today which brought to some random guy in a friends circle which brought me to twitter which brought me to this guy. I am fascinated by the way that gay culture has kind of taken over idolizing masculinity and close male relationships. I wonder what male relationships were like prior to modern gay culture. Its so hard to tell because everything we read now is filtered by the people who documented it and how many people's opinions do you trust. This guy seems to be trying to explore this.

Weird: :::link::: This would make me insane.

metalpeter - 07/29/11 17:24
Odd kinda reminds me of marky mark.....

metalpeter - 07/29/11 17:21
Ok the first one on the net is pretty funny......

paul - 07/29/11 15:12
I saw that, but no. He seems to gay for me, haha.

tinypliny - 07/29/11 15:06
