met up with cindy

i haven’t quite left yet, but i have some free time so i thought that i’d write one more blog before my week without technology. well, not really without technology, i’m actually bringing quite a bit of technology with me on my vacation. boys and their toys, you know?
christi and i met up [...]

the joy of writing good code

if you aren’t a programmer, you aren’t going to get it. i accept that, and you should too. it’s like a good can of spam, if you’ve never had it before, just trust me, it’s really good despite what you may think.
so anyway, i wrote some good code that i’m particularly proud of [...]

what i really need…

…is a designer’s touch. i’ve been fiddling around with my gallery templates trying to get that nice, clean feeling. i redid the gallery for the individual image view. i think it’s getting better, but it still lacks a little something.

father’s day antics

sis: do you know what mom told me?!

sis: she said, “you know why you are going to that hospital, right? it’s not because you are working there, but because you are going to find some doctor to marry you. ha ha ha.”
me: she said that?!
sis: yeah, can you believe it?!
me: hahaha. [...]

inadvertent volleyball tournament

i went to watch some friends play volleyball at the latest sf-aim volleyball tournament over the weekend when one of the guys got called back to work because he had to save the company from a deadly worm that was ravaging the company. no, not a sci-fi monster worm from the dark, but an [...]

ice cream…

after my doctor’s visit yesterday, she recommended that i stay off any dairy products for a little while until i get better. it is, of course, right after someone tells me that i cannot have milk that i have insatiable cravings of ice cream and pearl tea.
last night everyone else had ice cream after [...]
