When you spend entire days ghosting Band Office computers, here's the stuff you get inundated with...

Happy Tree Friends - Sweet Ride
Happy Tree Friends - Eye Candy
Happy Tree Friends - It's A Snap
Happy Tree Friends - Havin' A Ball
Happy Tree Friends - You're Baking Me Crazy
Happy Tree Friends - This Is Your Knife
Happy Tree Friends - Mime and Mime Again
Watch "Happy Tree Friends" responsibly. Those cute cuddly creatures are not to be imitated. Also don't watch with senior citizens, the gore depicted could induce heart attacks.
The Matrix has me. Review later.
Man, that case mod that Adam posted on the side is off the hook. Crazy stuff. At first I just looked at the first picture and I was like,"That's nothing. The harddrives aren't even connected to anything." Then after scrolling down, my eyes liked bugged out.
So Microsoft has been wish-washing on the whole iLoo concept. First Redmond denied it, now they're saying that it's a project by the UK branch. Maybe they should get the big man to give a speech about it.
The news coming out of E3 are pretty good. Price drops all over. Steel Battalion Online confirmed. TFLO confirmed. This cool online music disc jockey that's coming out for the Xbox. It'll allow people to store pics on the Xbox, make slideshows, share music online with other Xbox'ers. Cool stuff. I'm still salivating over the Halo 2 and Doom 3 trailers. Man oh man.
So apparently OCF is upgrading the mysql package they're using to 4.0.1. I don't think it'll affect any of my code or whatnot. It's too bad they didn't go with 4.1 cause then you could do more sub-queries.
Another thing to work on is browser for the Scratchboard. It's getting pretty full and having a browser would help things out. Besides it'd be good programming practice.
To get working on the cookie/stylesheet part, I'm going to have to come up with new style.css's. I'm thinking a light\dark blue one, a black\white one, and a light/dark green one. I thought about yellow and red but those colors don't jive well on the net. Once those get done, the cookie/php part shouldn't be too big of a hassle.
Happy Mother's Day to my Mom!!!
On Mother's Day this Sunday I sent my mom an online card. I thought that I'd play the theme from Candy Candy but it proved to be too much for me cause there are some fast parts and I'd have to pick out the melody. I did pick out the song Greensleeves though and from that song I was able to pick out We Wish You A Merry Christmas. Weird.
I fixed the back button resubmission error that some people have experienced. It was like 1 line of code but the inspiration came out of nowhere. Could have taken a totally different route which might not have worked cross-browser/cross-platform so that moment was really cool.
Also, scratches to the board automatically send mail to my cellphone now. Before it would just mail me at a standard account, but there's no reason for me to look at those mails when I'm online cause I can just look at the website. Tested it out and works great. There's a limit to the amount of characters that can work but maybe I'll find time to get a character counter up. Those things are usually done using Javascript and/or DHTML. Both of those languages are incredibly different cross-browser/cross-platform (henceforth known as CB/CP). I did a lot of CB/CP stuff during my internship at that dot.com way back when. Haven't seen too many issues with my site CB/CP EXCEPT for that piece of JAVA running at the top. Apparently, Macs have a little problem with that. (Thanks Kristen for the heads up!!!) Due to the content that runs up there I may have a cookie thing that will handle how the site is displayed. Originally the cookie would just handle site colors but I'm thinking that an option to disable the JAVA scroller would be good.
I photoshopped a mockup of the gallery. Looks pretty sweet. We'll see how it goes.
So many little cool things floating around. Microsoft/Hp's new Athena computer which mimics Macs in a big way. Sony's upcoming handheld (Gig storage...memorystick...PS quality). All the trailers for Halo 2, Doom 3, from E3 which Lih-Chern is going to today. Lucky... At least my insider account will get me in to a lot of the stuff she'll be seeing there.
Ghosted so many machines today...ergh...Tonya from the office made sweets and told us a lot about what sweets meant to her and her family. There was a lot of stuff that I couldn't eat but I had a Pineapple Bread Cake. Good stuff.
I think I accidently bought a pork blade roast instead of a beef one. No wonder it was cheaper. Too much fat in my opinion but good anyways. I think I'll look more carefully next time. Steamed fish in my future as well. I got some ginger today for shrimp. I'm really going to have to get a gallery up sometime. At least one of the apartment. I do have pictures already up but I want to apply some jook to it and shake it up a bit.
Look at these babies!!!
In other news...
What's this about an internet-enabled porta-pottie? What next? internet-enabled dressers? They already have fridges with internet in them.
Japanese lawmaker/wrestler. Yes, hell has frozen over, pigs fly, and a japanese show wrestler has been confirmed to his post in the Japanese legislature. He's even going to be wearing his mask for the entire time he's on the job.
At least it seems that his efforts to do good are spreading elsewhere. Maybe I should put on a cape and run around Emeryville doing good works. Look at what this guy is doing in England.
San Francisco's Masturbate-A-Thon? I'm not saying any more.
Doing a little updating while I'm at work, waiting for a co-worker. All this ghosting is giving me a headache.
So I'm getting free tickets to the Jurassic 5 concert. Don't have to wait in that stinking line. At times that line has stretched out almost to the street, which is pretty impressive. The last line like that was for the tickets to see Clinton. That line was actually bigger though. Higher speed internet should be turned on today at my apartment. Just couldn't deal with the slow speeds and all. See Source.
Every once in a while I'll pick up the guitar and fool around with it. Lawrence showed me his skills which I must say are quite impressive. He played me almost every song on the John Mayer cd. Plus he knows tons of miscellaneous stuff that I like such as Jack Johnson, a little DMB, and Eric Clapton. Leah knows more chords and songs than I do. I think my holy grail would be Eric Clapton though. Once I get there, I'll be satisfied.
No idea whats going on for Cinco de Mayo. I do have some Smirnoff in the fridge. Yumm. This month, the Watergate Association is having quite a few Bar-B-Qs and Picnics at the Clubhouse. I'd go but I'm afraid of the old folks. hehehe. The sorority formal is in a couple of days and there are plans to use the pool.
Happy Birthday to my Dad and my Sister!!!
The other song that I could play was "Happy Birthday". Didn't want to let the cat out of the bag though. Here's the card that I made.
Got me a Ikea guitar (code named: Spela) to fool around with. Currently I can play Simple Gifts by Copland and another song.
So this summer I'm going to be an instructor for a pretty well-established national tech camp called Internal Drive. They have camps on campuses all over the country, and even one in Spain. I'll probably be assigned to work with 6-7 kids at the UC Berkeley campus to teach web design. Hopefully this will be a great experience for me as well as the kids.
My sister and my dad both sent me links to this really cool Honda commercial thats being shown around the world EXCEPT for the US cause Honda uses another ad company for its ads in the US. Here's the link to the site that has it... The ad took 606 takes to complete. The Daily Telegraph as usual had the best coverage of the process behind the ad. By reading the site and the credit references though, I'm now interested in watching "The Way Things Go". I remember watching the crazy domino competitions in China and Japan where they'd beat world records and stuff. This is much more intricate though in my opinion.
