06/01: Thursday hijinks...
Let's see.. Today.. I believe I had a total of two minutes of conversation with another person today. Basically to ask why the hell my pc was locked out... and that was it. It's very odd, if not zen like, how one can be when you are left to your own devices until the 11th... so I am off building a nice web app to access my previously mentioned outlook emails. I figure if I am shoving them into a database *someone* will need to search and find them, right? I also figured it was good experience making webapps. I really hate how limiting the out-of-box controls are.
Take the damn calendar tool. Very lame.. not as awesome as the desktop date picker... so I made up my own custom control that mimics the date picker pretty damn well. Expandable calendar... clickable date selection.. typing date selection (sort of)... and all of this rolls up into a nice search form with the option to download/open pdfs from the database. Go team me.
I also think this whole doodling in my notebook to burn 15 minutes during lunch is a great idea. The time sensitive drawings really forces you to focus.. that and not talking to anyone helps. Keeps the mind limber to jump during those fifteen minutes.
I believe yesterday, if you don't count the excessive time at the bar in the late night, I had only one good interaction with another being, and that would be Pete the Dog.
It's like I am at my own Walden Pond... surrounded by people!
That reminds me, I need to buy Walden Pond again. I haven't read that for a long time and I think my last copy caught fire.
Oh and I really desire to have an Asus tablet... I just cannot justify the grand for the really really super cool one. Maybe the 399 one.. It shall be mine.
