I’ve been in the office for less than fifteen minutes and I’ve already heard my name mentioned in THREE (3!) conversations around me. Hmm…. #

A great example why I am continually shocked at how much money big companies waste: http://fluidapp.com/ Turn any web page into a Mac app. #

My head hurts and my eyes are heavy and I totally can’t be bothered to care about the only BDSM event that doesn’t have a $20+ price tag … #

Haha! Someone made a http://OrgasmLogger.com -esque webapp for general sexual encounters. I KNEW I wasn’t the only one. http://bedposted.com #

@ProblmLikeMaria Actually I think you’ll find my book is likely right where you’re at. Check out the free Table of Contents if you’re unsure #

Things I hate: 1) closed, proprietary systems 2) poor, undocumented custom code. Things I HATEHATEHATE: closed systems w/poor custom code. #

Going to get brunch outside with @BloodyLaughter to escape rising frustrations with badly architected, undocumented systems at work. #

@essinem CRT=Cathode Ray Tube, original TV technology. CRT displays cause interference that block Wi-Fi signals. Might be something else tho #

@SERAPHIN13 That’s not a bad guess, but I think the equation is more likely to be something like: more free time = more blogging. #

The sun is doing this thing where it’s bouncing off other panes and shining into my back-facing apt. It’s beautiful and reminds me of NYC. #

@unspeakableaxe That should prove it’s not the penis that does it. #

I wish Basecamp would let free accounts archive projects. It doesn’t really make sense to me to force people to delete their own stuff. #

@sanbeiji Now’s my turn to say ‘Ditto.’ On the up side, I now own ‘3:10 to Yuma’ on DVD which is AWESOME. Oh wait, that’s totally unrelated. #

I’m finding the sudden proliferation of mistaken tweets in my timeline from Twitter Tools and the WordPress for iPhone combos amusing. #

Late again, and I’m not sleepy. Spent a good portion of the evening preparing for http://ConversioVirium.org/ discussion list announcement. #

My tummy feels funny…. :( #

Wondering how to make the best use of my time today. Perhaps I need fuel; almost lunch time anyway. So best use is really “tastiest option.” #

@essinem If your TV is CRT you’ll have major interference issues with a Wi-Fi router. Move the router far away from CRT, radio phones, etc. #

I just got a call from an “executive search firm based in Sydney.” That means time from resume update to recruiter call clocks in at 1 week. #

@lanej0 Apps like Versions and Cornerstone are good for some, but they’re too little too late, IMHO. Now’s time to get on the git bandwagon. #

Just finished climbing out of the neck-deep hole of MySQL character set issues invalid country data forced me to dig up. Now THAT’S fun…. #

I am definitely having one of those slow days. My brain is all foggy and it’s difficult to change gears from one thing to another. Booses. #

I wrote a book, Foundation Website Creation with @sanbeiji and @lanej0, a promotional post: http://tinyurl.com/5ekqy8 Great for starting out #

Bad morning: My writer’s contract, SSN and bank info are “lost in the mail,” and I’m STILL not listed as an author of my book on Amazon. Gr! #

Kind of an ups-and-downs sort of day. Went shopping and walking, then tasted a martini with vodka I actually didn’t dislike. And got movies. #

@sanbeiji I know that feeling, usually when my brain won’t stop thinking. To solve add 1 ounce coding with 2 cups problem, stir ’til zonked. #

Post Stardust and nachos, watched Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog (which was hilarious). Now in bed, sleepy but not at all wanting to sleep. #

Some hours later, post sleep and dreams of some kind, am still in bed and sleepy but so do not want to wake up. Life is so unfair like that. #

Went hiking today at the Royal National Park with coworkers. Just finishing dinner at an Indian restaurant. Gettin’ sleepy. #

If coworkers ask why I’m walking funny on Mon I’ll just say that my gf beat me up. In other news, I am having a hard time w/the local scene. #

Finished polishing v0.1.1 of my insanely portable, sans-version control deployment script. Now, Batman: Dark Knight with @BloodyLaughter. #

Dark Knight=Compelling! Also, I find it funny that I got a postcard from the Australian e-tax ppl instead of an email; I got my TFN online. #

@sanbeiji Welcome back to the US of A! How was the vacation? #

Why do recruiters keep asking me about NYC-based jobs? Why do people still send me help requests via strange channels? Is context that hard? #

I just wrote some PHP code to fix a data integrity issue that executes straight SQL on the database. I feel dirty…but they were dirtier. #

At Drupal Australia mtg. Learning about FeedAPI modules. Chuckling at note to do RSS as application/xml+rss, a point I made at work today. #

Re-tweet: Oops, sorry folks. That was an old post that I fixed a typo on. An oldie, but a goody if you like source code management tools. #

@JohnBaku Better than TextExpander for Mail.app is MailTemplate by MacTank. http://mailtemplate.mactank.com/ Check it out. Night, tweets. #

@unspeakableaxe I love IT double entendres. There are just so many “hard” things and “micro” wares that the jokes never end. #

Woke up after a weird dream involving underground labyrinths and bugs. Eww. In other news, ConversioVirium.org had over 5500 hits in June! #

@BloodyLaughter That dream sounds weirder than mine. Mine was a bit more on the decidedly creepy side. Smallville and cuddles tonight, pls? #

@BloodyLaughter High-corporate start ups don’t have start up culture, they have high-corporate culture. That’s the difference between them. #

Huh. Sometime btw Mac OS X 10.5.2 & 10.5.4 Apple enabled connections to localhost from “Connect to Server” item. SSH tunnel, here I come. #

@BloodyLaughter Didn’t you already make a writing group online? I can’t keep up with all of the writing groups you’re involved with anymore. #

My head feels utterly foggy & cloudy today. I suspect the cause is either the world’s worst case of bed head or a serious lack of caffeine. #

My Blog Posts I Should Totally Write Soon list is piling up. Newest addition is “Benefits of a SCM for Change Management in the Enterprise.” #

@viviane212 Happy birthday, Viv! :) #

@echomikeromeo My general theory is that it’s more interesting to try to make my professional idols friend me instead. ;) #

WordPress 2.6 is out. Compelling feature: Post Revisions. Does anyone know how this will obsolete the Audit Trail plugin, if it will at all? #

@essinem We both blog with WordPress so every category, tag, month, post and more all have feeds you can subscribe to. Email me for details. #

Update to WP2.6 smooth save for one REALLY annoying issue. Any WP/PHP wizards want to crack this? http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189007 #

Walking to get lunch. Some homeless guy yells at me: I like your crazy hairstyle! At least that’s better than: Got 2 dollars to spare? #

@echomikeromeo You’re making me nostalgic for the days when I sat in the glow of my iMac DV and watched the rain from my living room window. #

Just learned real appreciation for MySQL query caching: best way to handle a legacy 5 second query that slows your server? Don’t execute it. #

Wore my black cons, new black skinny jeans and H&M black button down shirt. OH MY GOD I AM SO EMO! AHH! @BloodyLaughter thinks I’m sexy. #

Trying to decide weather I like Twitterific iPod touch app or the web-based Hahlo app better for tweeting. Wow, now I am just sad. So Emo! #

I’m sleepy. I’m not sleepy. I’m sleepy I’m not sleepy. Oh boo! What’s wrong with me tonight? I’d get a midnight snack if only there was one. #

I don’t want to belive it’s morning yet. Bed was soooo cozy. #
