Redesign.. v8.0
Wow only 8 versions since 2001.. I feel like I’m slacking, though I may have lost count.
What do you think of the new design?
Macworld 2007
Apple keynote today announced the new iphone.. looks cool. I’d love to have one, but I’d rather not have Cingular. Their cheapest plan with free nights and weekends (about all I need) is $59.99… of course Verizon’s similar plan is the same but they also offer a smaller plan with free nights and weekends for $39.99. But I’m paying something like $20 in a family plan similar to the $39.99 one and very happy with it.. So I’m not so upset about the $499 or $599 price tag on this ipod/pda/phone.. more so with the monthly cell phone charges. Does everyone get a free phone from work these days?
I’m happy with my new KRZR right now. Most impressive is the voice recognition, because I hate using menus. It doesn’t require any training and gets the trickiest of names when I’m mumbling 
Abe Lincoln’s Powerpoint!

I guess it’s old.. and i’m behind on my inet legends 
yes, i still love my job
i’m on week 3 and i still love my new job. there’s lots of brand new technology already and being implemented. it’s crazy, the opposite of my old job. anything is possible here. AJAX, strict XHTML, CSS design.. all the new standards are being used. all of the coders are in house which makes almost anything possible. i’m learning a lot and the structure and standards i was looking for are definitely here. w00t
and it’s mom’s birthday today, happy birthday mom
sunday
Drove down to malibu with josh and jerry for breakfast then down to PCH along the coast and back up home. beautiful drive, i never drove through pacific palisades and brentwood before. I can’t wait to get my mini and drive it through the mullholland canyons. there were about 8 or so lotus elises driving through the canyon together, it looked like so much fun.
The delay with my mini is finally explained. The plant has been closed for upgrades recently.
now playing: The Rosebuds - Boxcar
flash forward 2006
flash forward 2006 is in austin, texas this year. i really want to go, especially because i’ve never been to texas and josh and i have considered austin as a place to move one day. but there’s several things stopping me.
- first it’s sept 11-14 and I leave for london on sept 14th.
- second it’s $600-1000 just for registration before airfare and hotel
- third im having a job crisis right now where im (hopefully) in between jobs
- and (four) running out of vacation time fast!
The Jealous Toaster Moved to new software
There’s no way to really move all of my old posts over to this system.. because the old system was so old (greymatter), but I do have them all saved in a very very long msword file. This is now a nice pretty database (nucleus CMS) that will hopefully be supported for a long time.
