A little disappointed that “For the Benefit of Mr. Kite” is not on the “Across the Universe” soundtrack.

It’s hard to describe how excited I am. But I am indeed very excited.

jQuery/’s my favorite JavaScript library by a long shot (very straightforward approach to manipulating page elements), and the JQuery UI makes it even better (so much shiny). I’m looking forward to using it in future projects.

Sadly, I need to hunker down at work and get back to my YUI stuff. YUI’s nice, but it is a lot more complex than JQuery. I’m still trying to figure out if it’s worth the extra overhead, or if I’m missing some way to make things easier.

ngyargh. It’s hard to fix my broken code when the remote service keeps breaking. I think Sisyphus is the patron saint of this place.

Really I think it’s just short-timer blues.

Giving serious thought to JRuby on Rails for a project. Also …. wishing I had real good headphones right now.

Starting to enjoy this Twisted project …

That’s it, I need to go home. There are only so many dead ends you can hit in a single day before getting cranky.

Handling HTML::Mason in one hand, Twisted Python in the other. I think I’m going to make my brain explode.

there must still be some coffee somewhere in this office.

I’m not a “Ruby ninja.” I’m a doughy programmer with a reasonable level of skill in an assortment of programming languages.

If you want somebody dead, you hire a ninja. If you want code written, you hire a coder. It’s not that complicated.

Then again I like to call myself a geek, even though I’ve never actually bitten the head off a live chicken.

Firing up FXTwitter for the first time in a while.

Getting loads of timeout errors with fxtwitter. Need to handle that exception if I want to keep using it.

stress and work load are a little high right now. My own fault.

Just got done watching “Once” on DVD, and enjoyed it just as much as when we saw it in the theater. I’m a sucker for a good musical(ish).

To use PHP+Kohana (or ?) or Ruby+Ramaze (or Rails)? Gotta think about this hard because I’ll be stuck with it for a long time.

… or maybe Camping. This is like a buffet where you only get one plate.

waiting for transfer from bank to paypal to complete so I can pay my site hosting bill. Patience, grasshopper.

Notebook, sketchbook, several dozen pencils, my work computer, and the iPod. I think I’m ready to go to work.

I’m trying to do this the corporate standard way, really I am.

the same code works in the file not 2 folders away.

Twitter: 2008-05-19 Mon 13:04

not a good sign when you’re worried about creating a new file because it may conflict with some naming standard you don’t know.

we just got tickets to today’s Mariners game pushed in our hands. 12th row behind home plate. Wow.
