I received a "You the man!" email from my boss for a quick turn around on a small utility app that compresses 204mb log files into about 13mb using the .NET GZip methods. I have to plug this into the 'mover app' and wait for the 50 hours of processing on the current (as of 4.30pm) back log of archives. A positive warm fuzzy for sure.

Bonus - the Foo Fighters dropped a new song off their up and coming CD. Very nice. More so than Radiohead's new cd. That's borderline poopy. Radiohead can do better!

The bad news - I need to stop reading the internet so much.
The good news... my current employer feels quite favorable about keeping me.
The bad news... I have had a lot of free time at work to catch up on UI, UX, and other programing tidbits
The good news I am going to be embroiled in this conversion and will get to flex my webpage design skills.

Kudos to me though it is always awkward hearing my boss tell me he notices my web surfing is high and reminds me that it should be minimal when I have work to do. A bit iffy on the subtext outside of "this is the time to prove yourself" sort of thing or "the big-boss is catching notice too so knock it off block head"... I haven't gotten a good bead on my boss. This keeps things interesting.

Oh and my idea of an augmented reality app or smart phone app was received in an okay fashion. The roadblocks of 'no one here has the tech skills to do it' was countered with 'if you are looking into it at home keep us posted and we will see about maybe doing it later when we find people to do the UI'... which they don't know will be me. Man I wish I had a droid.

I was at my local until 2am... went home.. and was back at noon for a meeting of old employer-folk.... left at 3.30pm and will probably be back at eleven. I live here.

Investigate 'augmented reality' and make it happen.

Why the hell do I have 1109 hits from you this month? What are you people looking at?

My passport came in.. wow.. that was a quick turn around. I could have tots made it to the cruise.

Tiny exotic 'Becca from the blood bank is hot. Hawt even. Dark skin, dark hair, and bizarrely blue eyes. Plus she makes an excellent Pollock using my blood for paint and my arm for a canvas.

Grr.. do I snag my name's domain in the .org world? Stupid alter ego has the .com version until 2012.

I didn't win my cruise. I am going to pout.

Oh funny text messages... how they dredge up old memories.

I think I want to expand my subject matter expertise in UX design... 'user experience' design. Maybe punch a snooty art kid in the nose while I am at it.

I literally spent all day watching some variant of Startrek. This morning/afternoon it was 'Enterprise'. This evening it was four hours of Next Generation. I took a nap in between. I miss working and making money.

It's 2am... I am barely allowed to type this out...my fingers are frozen, my per...pers..per... perspicacity is null... and I may not have work tomorrow. Damn you Justin Beiber Marie... damn you Ashley of Puerto Rico... damn you all to hell.
