My parents were in town, along with several family members. I met up with them in Chinatown and spent most of the day hanging out with them. I also met some additional aunts I hadn’t known all that well, and our group did a lot of walking/touring. I got to hang out in a park…
I installed Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for the PC today. Uhm. Let’s just move on, and forget about today. In fact, let’s never speak of this day again.
If you’re ever in downtown Chicago, and you catch an incredibly strong whiff of chocolate… that’d be Blommers. The Blommer Chocolate Company is near the Mud Lot, and whenever I drive to work, I walk by it. Everyone’s been talking about trying to go there for a tour, and today I was able to get…
I happened to see a callbox opened up, and a barge gliding by on the river.
Matt showed me the "secret parking spot" near work a few weeks ago. Most places downtown, there’s a hefty fee for the parking lots. One of the cheaper ones is fondly referred to as the "Mud Lot," as it’s a blast to wade through whenever it rains. The Mud Lot costs $8, so it’s not…
Has been almost all about work. I haven’t been doing much fucking around, little IM conversations during the day… just cranking things out for the employer. Which is not to say I’m complaining. Actually, I feel like I’ve gotten a fair amount done this week, and I’m looking back over the past few days with…
A few days ago, I got some email from Jerkstore and digidod. I had given Jerkstore my jumbled nav .fla, and received a really nice "Hey, I read your blog regularly" note from digidod. It’s always cool to see how others approach a like project, so take a peek: Jerkstore’s blog.digidod’s blog. Ah, e-mail. It’s…
After almost a day plus trying to diagnose what was wrong… I discoverd I had encoded my audio improperly. I was scouring through my code, sure that I had misnamed something, or wired something up wrong. Note to self: trust your code more. Everything was fine. Just the audio files were off (I must have…
Here’s a view of the inside, from the balcony seating area. I’m not sure why, but almost every time we sit upstairs. I tried a few variations, but just couldn’t get the lighting right.
Portillo’s is where everyone at Q101 heads off to, when we go out as a group for lunch. Like a herd of cats, it takes forever for all of us to coordinate anything resembling forward motion. Anytime we go, it’s a mess trying to get people out of the office. It’s a big birthday place,…
My coworker and friend Ben celebrated his birthday today. Actually, we’re all supposed to keep that fact quiet. He and Laura are saying that the birthday day is actually tomorrow, since Ben’s will be taking the day off. That way, his son can celebrate the whole day with them. :) But we all knew at…
Twelvestone.WOT. This should be fun. :) Hopefully, we’ll get a good turnout. I got introduced to this game a long while back, and it’s always fun when a big group plays. There’s a scheduled game tonight, 7:30 pm PST / 10:30 pm EST. Ehh, I know. There’s little chance you’re going to come across this…
Holy crap, I’m not sure where that ( ^ ) came from. I was trying to update the blog, but then kept nodding off and almost falling asleep on top of my keyboard. It’s now some 5 hours later (10:14 PM), and I just woke back up. When I looked at the computer, I saw…
I was hashing out some structure for a potential application that we would be implementing, system-wide, to all of our webmasters. I did a fair amount of number crunching on my end, next thing I knew, my forces wqere flooading the area and keeping the peace.
