code is ready for the client. I am pleased.

Twitter: 2008-02-29 Fri 02:07

Coffee by my side, code in front of me, and Red Dwarf in the background. The essence of all that is great in the world.

Twitter: 2008-02-29 Fri 05:53

wow, twitter got confused about my last post. First I had the coffee and Red Dwarf, then the code was ready for the client.

Twitter: 2008-02-29 Fri 11:39

another busy day ahead.

I’m surprised it’s taking so much work to sell a good notebook for $600. Maybe I’m not trying hard enough.

Twitter: 2008-02-29 Fri 14:38

finding elements in one array but not another - I suddenly wish I was using Ruby

Twitter: 2008-02-29 Fri 14:38

POLS is such a lovely concept.

Twitter: 2008-02-29 Fri 15:27

Not much to do here. Might as well go to the church and help out for a few minutes.

Twitter: 2008-02-29 Fri 16:24

I think I’ll test my theory that this code would look better in Ruby than Perl. Just for gits and shiggles

Twitter: 2008-02-29 Fri 17:19

sigh

Twitter: 2008-02-29 Fri 17:38

okay, so now I’m posting my camera on Craigslist.

Twitter: 2008-02-29 Fri 17:48

http://tinyurl.com/2saw2t for the camera, http://tinyurl.com/3aeoaa for the HP

Twitter: 2008-02-29 Fri 22:07

getting ready to meet a maybe buyer for my stuff

Twitter: 2008-02-29 Fri 23:12

yay, sold the camera tonight and probably the notebook tomorrow.

Twitter: 2008-02-28 Thu 03:33

did a little fiddling with Text::CSV. A mellow night overall.

Twitter: 2008-02-28 Thu 11:17

slowly converting the greenlake umc office to Google mail, calendars, etc. Hey, now Brooke can check office mail on her mac.

Twitter: 2008-02-28 Thu 15:38

drat. haven’t heard back from the notebook buyer yet.

Twitter: 2008-02-28 Thu 16:46

Marking the notebook down to 600 in hopes of selling it quick.

Twitter: 2008-02-28 Thu 17:53

as long as I’m sitting on a mac, I wonder how Xcode handles Perl

Twitter: 2008-02-28 Thu 17:59

perl is highlighted in xcode, but project management is not obvious for me.

Twitter: 2008-02-28 Thu 19:03

This code would probably be done by now if I was using Python. Maybe I’m getting dependent on it.

Twitter: 2008-02-28 Thu 20:11

mmm canned gubmint pears

Now when I’m in a retro mood I pull out my 2nd gen iPod

sweet - I just cracked 8 knuckles at once. Delightful sound.

oh hell, Trying to use Komodo on the G4 reminds me of MS Word on a PS/2. I’m going back to Vim

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 00:33

Feeling low? Play with POE!

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 03:36

applied for 2 jobs, following up on a third, editing pics for laptop sale. It’s been a pleasantly busy night.

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 05:04

well, I posted my notebook on Craigslist. Slightly bummed, but there’s still the iMac.

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 11:05

neat. one of those right-side-of-your-head headaches.

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 13:57

headache gone, but now I need to nap until … say 2pm.

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 17:14

so many phone calls, so many job applications. So busy.

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 17:25

sweet. I might have a buyer for the notebook.

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 17:26

… a real one, as opposed to one based in Nigeria who needs me to wire money for them.

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 17:33

It’s a pity that Python jobs aren’t as common as .NET jobs. Or it’s a pity that I haven’t learned .NET yet. Oh well, no use fussing.

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 19:02

got a little pay, bought gum and a $2 scratch ticket. Won $20. Got $15 cash and a $5 scratch ticket. Won $100. I want a burger, dammit.

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 19:34

Mmm-mmmm. That is a tasty burger.

ooo The Station Agent and Adaptation are waiting at the library

If I was as focussed during normal time as I am in crisis time, I would be ruling the world right now.

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 21:46

… I’ll be testing that supposition.

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 22:51

adium, macports, oh how I’ve missed working directly on the mac

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 23:29

“port install” sure took its sweet time getting started tonight.

Twitter: 2008-02-27 Wed 23:40

relying so heavily on vim, screen, and macports feels like I’m being a grumpy old man, but I enjoy it!

I’m still on pins and needles about last week’s Seattle Times interview. Followup is tomorrow, maybe Thursday.

Twitter: 2008-02-26 Tue 12:39

Well that’s no good.

lazy today is: using Dreamweaver to write my Craigslist posting.

Twitter: 2008-02-26 Tue 18:24

Today it’s more obvious than usual that @wilshipley is living a different life than me.

Twitter: 2008-02-26 Tue 18:24

… and it’s usually pretty damn obvious.

A recruiter jokingly asked me if I wanted to be a recruiter. I laughed, but it almost sounds like a good idea.

Getting ready to sell my notebook because a) I need the money, and b) I’ll be saving up for a MacBook of some kind anyways.

Supposed to be another day of knitting and coding-for-fun.

I’m happy to be wrong about whether Once could get an Oscar.

Twitter: 2008-02-24 Sun 21:26

methinks Diablo Cody wasn’t expecting to win.

Twitter: 2008-02-24 Sun 21:33

Hurrah for Juno and Once, but we need a zombie category so Fido can win something.

did he say “without you this would be hardware?” I’m confused.

Since I need sample Perl code anyways, I might as well work on a SPL account status script.

I’m in the queue for 3 interesting jobs, but I’m also looking for quick gigs so I can eat and stuff.

Spent the night working on a stupid blosxom clone in PHP. SimpleTest is fun.
