(e:Paul) noticed the doors on the church of the Ascension turned red recently. They got rid of the nice solid hardwood doors and now are plasticy and red. Were they sold? What's left?

Programming x in yCategory: programming
I found a really good resource for learning new languages, and getting a quick rundown on syntax, operands, logic etc with an example of each. I used it yesterday when I needed to write a Perl script for AutoCAD, but I found it really useful for getting a better hand on javascript.
Learn X in Y Minutes
The weirdest language I've ever seen is on there. It's called brainfuck
. Everything in brainfuck with only 8 commands is done by manipulating a pointer over a 30,000 cell array. The compiler for it can be only 200 bytes. Why does it exist? Keine Ahnung.
This, for example, will print out the letter A:

How awesome would it be if your blog had just interpreted that as an A.

Watching mud dryCategory: work
Yesterday I had to watch a mud puddle for an hour.
Work had me go out to some sprawly street in Hamburg for a septic system perc test. Basically, you dig holes in the ground, fill them with water, and measure how fast the water is absorbed, so you can design how big the septic system needs to be. It's as interesting as it sounds.
When I got there, the contractor was being a dick to me, for riding a bike there (I was early), for not knowing where to test (my boss said the contractor should know) - but I talked to him for a while, he got much nicer and apologized for being rude before.
On the positive side, I got to leave the office to ride my bike for 16 more miles, making 34 for the day). The weather was amazing. I still want another job.

Bike week lunchesCategory: bikes
Every morning this week, Rick's, Campus Wheelworks and Sweetness 7 have been giving away bagged lunches for bike week. Very awesome. The Rick's bag reminds me of an elementary school lunch. The sandwich is a PB&J on a hamburger roll.
They also give you a coupon for a dollar off of anything at Cafe 59 for each day you get a lunch.

Goodbye carCategory: cars
Goodbye to this fucking car. I put about 1500 miles on it, 176 this year. my sister will use it more, but maybe I can get her on a bike.
Midnight took a visit.
After the car was gone, (e:terry) and I went out to go see Erica at Nietzchie's. We ended up missing her, but heard a few good people anyway plus the croaky frog lady.
I was talking to some guy named Miles, who when he heard the name Visco, immediately brought up estrip. Apparently he had gone to high school with (e:mike) (he always thought Mike had the hottest friends) and knew about (e:strip) because someone had posted about him 10 years ago. Small world.
Terry and I talked a lot about what other things I want to do. I still don't know but I do know I want to try something else.

I think I know who that is! I have always prided myself on surrounding myself with the hottest friends. I guess if you have to remembered for something, there could be worse things than that!

It's an Episcopalian tradition to paint the North South and East doors red. I think it is why the Rolling Stones sang "I see a red door and I want to paint it back). Jagger was singing about church doors. It's like the sign of the cross combined with red color of the blood of Christ.
