How cool is this? Yesterday… Stu bought me an airplane ticket! As a thank-you for helping out on his website, he’s flying me out to Portland so we can hang out for a few days. The trip is slated for late June, and I’ll be flying out on a Thursday and getting back on a Monday. Rock! But get this….
Around 3PM, Chris and I sneak out for a late lunch. We go back to Hot Doug’s, even though it’s seemingly a totally indulgent thing to do. We’d been working all day, and it seemed like a nice reward for all our work so far. Another factor I think, is that we go back to the office soon (read: next…
Today, Chris and I worked all day on getting a flash site up and running. Towards the tail end of our time setting things up, we run into a snag. Long and short of it? We were accidentally overwriting one another’s files. We were working on two separate elements, but had the same filename. And each time we saw a…
Post-show, Chris and I ended up doing a bit more work work. Although… I worked for maybe 45 minutes before calling it a night. He ended up working until like 3 AM getting an XML file fully parsed into Flash, freak that he is. What does this say about our little group, and the seemingly insane hours that we keep?
Chatted with Chelsea yesterday on IM, and found out she was going to go see Deerhoof at the Empty Bottle today. I ended up deciding to go as well, and got tickets. They’re a band I’ve heard a lot about (mostly from Chris and Justin and rypunked. And, given my note to myself recently… it seemed like a good idea….
Got a call from Justin today, and found out a bit more of his recent adventures. He’s in San Fran currently, and last night he apparently expressly went out to find the gothiest bar/danceclub he could find (and succeeded). After a bit of trial and error (one of which included walking into a leather biker bar), he found a pretty…
Spent a good part of today getting more work work done. This week (hopefully) marks a slowing down of projects. I know that Chris has racked up a handful of comp days in the past few weeks, as have I. Looking forward to taking some time back after working alot of weekend days recently.
New songs, on the audioplayer (on the right). I’m thinking that I’m going to make this feature more of a covers thing. One song, but three different interpretations. I’m liking that approach so far.
My first reaction, on seeing the poster for Moo Moose, was surprise. I walked by after glancing at it, and only some 15 feet later did the actual amount of the reward register. I turned around and walked back, so I could look at the sign again. My initial thought was – these people are crazy! $1,000? In my mind,…
I was procrastinating just a bit ago, not wanting to dig into the work I need to get done for my job. I’ve got a small Flash site to build, and I was chatting on IM and surfing around killing time. And I felt bad I was putting work off. Let me contextualize this. I caught myself. Feeling bad. For…
Turns out the problem with my car wasn’t what I thought. Instead of my battery not getting enough juice, it was the other way around – the voltage regulator (or some such) was busted, and my battery was getting too much sauce. The good news being that it’s not an issue with my alternator. Over the phone, the guy asked…
