So today, we’re supposed to get a ton of snow dropped on us. Supposedly. This morning, I walked out to my car, dusted it off. I drove it all of 20 feet and parked it slightly closer to my front door. Just in case I have to dig it out at some future point. Then I turned around and walked…
Just noticed today’s date on the blog. That’s kinda cool. In addition to it being my mother’s birthday today, I’m incredibly partial to the number three. I’m also really keen on the number nine, as it’s the sum of three plus three plus three. See, if you create a 3×3 matrix, you’ll always get the number nine no matter which…
Next thing I know, it’s 11:30 PM. I’m ready to do work, and already the day’s closing down. Gah!
As I was getting ready to eat dinner, I happened to luck across a great PBS documentary just coming on the television. I’ve seen a few episodes here and there of the Secrets of the Dead series, and it’s all been fairly fascinating. But tonight, it was a documentary on Barnes Wallis and the method he created of destroying dams….
Alright. I think my scrollbar is working. Yeah yeah, component in MX. But I wanted to make one for this particular project, and it needs to be 5. Right now, based on the # of entries it’s pulling in from XML, it builds a list and scales that gray scroller bar accordingly. I’m pretty proud of it, actually. Took me…
Oddly, I woke up around 10:30 and was all ready to get back into Flash again. Worked for a bit, and then headed over to Filter to meet Stu and Alex. Stu and I talked about what he wanted for his site, and it all sounds pretty straightforward. I’ll probably be making a variation of the gallery I developed for…
Well, I was up until 3 AM this morning. Mucking around with Actionscript, trying to make it work. I take that back. Actionscript works fine. I was trying to articulate, clearly, what I wanted it to do. And for a good long while, I wasn’t making much sense.
Just finished dinner about 30 minutes ago. Soon after, my head starts throbbing and I’m thinking "Yeah, I went a bit heavy on the garlic. But did I put in that much?" Slowly, it dawned on me. I haven’t eaten anything all day today. I went in to work this morning until about 2:30 PM, ran some errands, came home,…
Are my entries normally this odd? Or am I only noticing it now, since I’m sober?
Attention everyone! The gorilla has jumped out of the plane, and made it safely to the ground. All seems to be well. If you happen to notice the gorilla going on a killing spree, please alert the authorities.
Turned down an invite to go out to eat. I’ve been on a pretty good social roll lately, so I guess I don’t feel so bad declining. I woke up early this morning, and spent several hours at work getting stuff prepped for next week. I had only planned an in-out sort of thing, so I found a parking meter…
Man, the navigation code for this site is messy. I really need to redo the whole blessed thing, but I’ve got other things vying for my attention. What started off as workarounds ended up requiring additional workarounds of their own. A bad start just leads to more fixes for prior problems. For some reason, this is the analogy I thought…

Alright. Just spent a long while trying to fix whatever the hell is wrong with the nav. No luck. I’m giving up for the night. I’ve been breaking shit all day, so why shoud now be any different…
The arm keypad controls the iPod in the chest pocket, eliminating the need for unruly, tangled wires. Just touch the control pad on the jacket sleeve to change songs or volume levels and you??re off and running.
