this isn't a good song or video, or even that good a beat. but i've got it stuck in my head. kinda reminds me of the middle years of my hip-hop obsession. bay area stuffs.
also, saafir and shock-g are in the video.
i wish i knew what's been happening to both of them over the past...several years. the one thing the internet doesn't have much info on. i guess i need to live in oakland, lolz.
after reading more and more on ruby on rails and as i'm set to develop my first application in it [rewriting the production calendar at work], i'm starting to feel as if maybe my days of continuing to work on my application framework for php might be closing? a lot of the plans i had for my own are more or less addressed in RoR.
no, i can't stop working on it :( if anything, i'll try to make it a competitor to RoR for the php world. i think i've got some good stuff going on already--just need to keep tweaking it. can't rush the development--or can i? hmm. ruby is slower than php, so making a viable option in php before ruby can catch up in raw performance would be nifty.
The teacher dont know about how to deal with the student body. And the underclassmen are flashing hot and cool. All your girlfriends care about the watch you wear and theyre talkin about it. Believe it or not theres life after high school.
yay! now i can take oscar the grouch off my door. but i think i'll leave him there.
oct 18, 2006, 5:29pm from: kate to: the entire department subject: Administrative reminder -- last requests DUE TOMORROW
So the countdown continues… Please make the deadline of tomorrow by getting any requests for Pam, Kim and Anthony in -- especially anything requiring meeting planning, a purchase, a contract or an online purchase. You will have to wait until Oct. 30 to make any purchases unless I can manage to get it done from Anaheim, but I'm not sure that's very likely. I will be checking in on contracts, etc to make sure the process isn't stalled.
Alathena is doing great learning her new responsibilities, but we want to make sure she isn't overwhelmed next week and still wants the job!
Thanks, Kate

no wonder there isn't even a website for no limit records anymore.
yay!
the label's quality kept degenerating. i have 15+ albums that track it up to 1999 i think? i so happy though. no one who consistently makes crap should ever stay ahead.
i guess this is my refund for ever buying those albums in the first place.
but it is a sad sight that guttar music is the reincarnation of it. maybe i shouldn't be laughing...no one should be homeless.
trebuchet ms is the best web font i've seen. i cannot believe i just found out about it this weekend. all i had to do was look into the stylesheet of the meebo blog. i've seen it around for months. should've investigated sooner. sigh.
i changed tcc's font from arial to trebuchet. looks much nicer now. i wonder who's going to notice, though.
i took pseudophedrine because i felt the symptoms i had were similar to an allergy. symptoms are pretty much gone. asma warned me that it could get me hyper, and i think she jinxed me, because i can't fall asleep. or maybe it really is keeping me awake?
my dad is in town for census bureau meetings. we all ate dinner at asma's parents' house tonight. he's lonely back home. i feel bad about that. i wish he would plan his trips to spend an extra non-work day so that we could actually spend time during the day.
i think i understand fully now what imagery in religious texts are meant for. they really are compelling and get my thoughts going. but it's frustrating to not know our purpose or order in the universe. i wish everyone could be...content with acknowledging a binding force and trying to lead a life that doesn't result in negativity. but if stars can collide and collapse, maybe killing each other isn't such a big deal? but life force is different...being aware is...odd. the nature of planets and atoms don't mesh with why we can name and study these things. i think that alone is sufficient in proving the existence of god. or not.
i wonder if i should go to work tomorrow?
ps - thanks to all who wished me a happy birthday!
i've gotten a bit obsessed with pixel art since yesterday in the hopes of making a new design for tcc. more specifically, focusing on a real interface and incorporating pixel art elements, and doing it in a way that hopefully doesn't come off videogamey/cartoony.
i am loving kaliber10000 and until a few minutes ago was perplexed by how they got a nice, subtle 3d effect on their buttons. but my hours of experimenting are paying off, because with just 4 photoshop layers i can pretty much simulate what they've got.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and i know how to make the button look pressed down. !!!
i am excited. i really hope raymond and sumaya will dig the concept.
this is where a prolonged and tedious story about our laptop adventures would go.
this is what's happening today: i am at home running dual screen. the laptop is 1440x900 (on a 16.?" screen) and the 19" monitor is running at 1600x1200. and while the monitor is lacking crispness, i am super happy with having lots of windows open with little clutter.
there's the remote desktop to AARP in the background so i can check on emails
there's the dev version of the new tcc site on the right, and some admin stuff on the left.
nothing is minimized.
and that's just the monitor!
eee
god, i want the tcc relaunch to be finished with...
