Advice needed
Ok, I really need advice.
After screeming, repeadedly, at someone that you don't love them, that yu haven't had feelings for them for quite a long time, WHAT possible logic would you have for sleeping in the same bed with them?
Chris slept in the bed last night. He didn't even tell me I was taking the couch, I had to find that out when I went to bed at 2:30.
Really, WHY, would you want to sleep in the same bead with someone you keep telling you have no feelings for? Either chris need to stop denying he still has feeling for katie and go from there, or I need to beat hime senseless or have him reported for wife stealing. I have no problem sharing katie with chris if he cares for her but he keeps telling her he has no feelings for her.
Of course I can't tell him to get a brain, I need to simmer in quiet until I have yet another mental breakdown. Kim told me to talk about about my feelings, not to hold things in. Of course, when I snap at her and TRY to explain how she's driving me crazy she twists my words and decided I was only her friend for the sex.
Bitch.
To take the comment that started a war and twist it slightly:
"What kind of a man sleeps with another man's wife. When he keeps telling her he has no feelings for her?"
Fucking mother fucker shit fuck. I'm very, very pissed and I wish I could actually yell at a person and not have it blow up in my face.

Nude art
It’s very hard to find art in pornography these days. Most of the time I’m not looking for actual porn, but art. Even so-called ’softcore’ photography doesn’t count as art. Softcore used to be photos of beautiful woman. Now it’s photographs of woman who are stripping their ways towards nudity and trying to look sext while doing it. No thanks.
I like nude art. It’s not easy to find though. Thats why I was pleasantly surprised when I reinstalled the StumbleUpon toolbar. StumbleUpon is a website system that allows you to randomly cross the web of sites that other users have posted and voted on in a blissful, never ending stream of joy. From photos, to videos, to articles. If you want to narrow it down, you can pick a category and ’stumble’ though that. And they have a ‘Nude Art’ catagory. Ahh, bliss.

Is a micro smaller, or a mini? What's a macro?
My head is swimming. I want so much to type, to get it all out and relax, but it's not gonna happen. Nothing bad, just thoughts. I need a brain dump and I'm long overdue.
I'm not at work because my body won. I've been fighting being sick for...all this month, today it just wasn't gonna work with work. I really wish I had another full day of sick time for tomorrow, but I don't. I also wish I could have saved my sick time. Ah well, I'll try again next month.
So many projects I want to sick down and write, but I really don't have a good place to program. Honestly, I don't like my desk. I lighting is bad and I dislike the screen. To many distractions. I'd program late at night like I used to but everybody stays up later then me.
Edit: Note the typo. The word should be sit, but we can tell what's on my mind :-/
Current Mood:  sick

I am so beyond pissed right now.
And there is nothing I can say right now that does not have a very real chance of getting me jailed for treason.

gah!
Ok, so I can't post on PI, caftfights is down...that leaves LJ
I really hate all the hype about September eleventh two thousand and one. I understand that people lost family and friends in the events, you are allowed to grieve (to a point). It's the rest of you, little kids and teens who need to shut up. It didn't affect you other then what you were taught. I but nobody taught you WHY the people did what they did. Even if you don't think it was a good reason there was one and it's a good leson that this government chooses to not care about.
The fact that you think you have the right to tell someone they have been living under a rock for not knowing why you are obsessing over today and treat them like a cold-hearted slug if they do not care is dispicable. There is no reason that everybody should care. None.
In regards to those that died, and this goes for all death, I'm confussed. I don't have an argument for other religions, but if you are a Christian™ you should be happy. Your friends and family were Christians, right? Lives on this sinful earth cut short? Now are in heaven? Happy? Then why aren't you?
Yah, this post will probably upset people. That's the way it goes.

Dear Bitch
No, you are the self-centered controlling manipilive bitch. Not katie. Chris still loves Katie and you are the ONLY person having an issue with this. STOP ATTACKING KATIE, because she HAS not attacked you AT ALL. You keeps telling you that she doesn't like your actions, you attack her as a person. You are soo fucking abbsessed with your fucking dreams and wedding that you doesn'y think about others. It's too bad that chris has no brain and you have to take control for what's best for him. Chris has repeatedly said he doesn't know and he still loves katie. why the hell would he keep fucking her if he doesn't love her. You are the person who keeps trying to make up his mind, who keeps pestering him until he answers the way you want.
Katie us happy with whatever chris wants. it may not be what she wants, but has and will support him. YOU will not. it's either what you want or nothing.
grow fucking up baby and think of someone else for a change. you want me to not hold things in? you want me to talk, to tell people when I want to rip them a new one? You asked for this, you want to know how I feel. It's better for me. thank you for teaching me to talk. to not bottle things up. other then the snugglings that's probably the only good thing I have got out of meeting you. i'm sure after this you won't be able to stay friends, and you sure as hell won't want to play and have fun, but in spite of this I still want to be your friend. I just need YOU to change, not chris, and I don't think you can. so PLLLLLLLLLLBBBBBBBTTTT!

I hate people
People are the most fucking selfish, inconsiderant self-center assholes. Sadly me me, the more of a just and a self-centered asshole you are the more you get ahead and get what you want. Nice people get screwed. Period
I wish I wasn't so jaded. I wish I was the same kid who flunked his college entrance exam because he couldn't think of anything when given the topic "life is unfair, write why you feel this way", but i'm not. Every asshole and self-centered person I have ever met has gotten ahead, gotten rewarded, gotten promoted, gotten happy. Nice people? Nice people get screwed or ignored. Both in my case. The worst part? As a christian you would diing would be the answer because then you got to heaven. Who in their right mind want to be God's suck-up for the rest of existance?
Christians use it as an excuse to be asses. Not all, because I think I still have a few here who aren't, but if you aren't a complete asshole you get shat on.
I hate people, and no, anybody who wants to ask what got me so pissed off probably will not get an answer. Because no matter how much you deserve one I'm not a brave enough asshole to dilberatly hurt others feelings. I hope I am someday. People need to be bitch-slapped (both genders) and the only way I will ever get ahead in this fucking world is if I face my fears, stop caring about others, and become an asshole. Until then I'll just watch my brain rot and my mind go.
I love you Katie.

Things I need
Things I need
A fast chatter/drop box that gets either filed or posted, usually both.
A web programming IDE
A master TODO database, probably linked to the drop box
A command center, with the database and other stuff.
Sure, we could say that I have too much stuff, but the fact that I STILL don't have a good fileing system, online or offline is why I have information overload. It's burning me out.
I need the ability to take all my delicious links and inbox them.
FIFO
How do I FIFO my mind?
How do I FIFO my life?
FIFO stands for First In, First Out. The first thing in to the system is the first think that gets processed.

typing training
i am trying to teach myself typing
since i haven't typed much today this is my practice

Good Design
The Official Google Blog defines 10 things that the user experience teams feels makes good code:
1. Focus on people—their lives, their work, their dreams.
2. Every millisecond counts.
3. Simplicity is powerful.
4. Engage beginners and attract experts.
5. Dare to innovate.
6. Design for the world.
7. Plan for today’s and tomorrow’s business.
8. Delight the eye without distracting the mind.
9. Be worthy of people’s trust.
10. Add a human touch.
For the most part I think my programming follows these guidelines.
Focus on people. If I didn’t care about my users I wouldn’t listen to them. Any problems or ideas that JWebGen users have gets handled promptly.
Every millisecond counts. That’s kinda a tough one. I haven’t mastered the habit of placing timing code into my programs. Generally I don’t place a high priority on this item because I can’t remember ever getting a comment about the speed.
Simplicity is powerful. This one always trips me up. As I mentioned in a prior post, I have a big problem trying to design first, code later. Who cares how how dirty the code is if the end result and user interface is fast and clean? I don’t.
Engage beginners and attract experts. JWebGen doesn’t have a place for experts. Everybody can see how to use it and it doesn’t need a manual. I rest my case. If it needs a manual you have a problem. Users don’t read, and shouldn’t have to.
Dare to innovate. Why do it the same as everyone else? Do it your way. It sets you apart and people will either love it or hate it. If they hate it, they will either tell you or they won’t. Don’t sweat it.
Design for the world. Designers and programmers aren’t always users. What makes sense to them doesn’t always work for us. If you can use your creation, and want to, and it requires very few questions of ‘How do I do this?’ they you succeeded. It’s nice to feel needed, but don’t be silly.
Plan for today’s and tomorrow’s business. In the case of JWebGen, that really just means programming for the future. Can you easily add new features? How bad will things break? Will they break at all? Is your code static, or can it grow?
Delight the eye without distracting the mind. Is it good to look at? Does it have extra pretties that aren’t needed? Extra fluff? Not enough visuals?
Be worthy of people’s trust. It’s fine to create a privacy statement but lets face it, people don’t read them. Either people trust you or they doesn’t. If you except people to locate a privacy statement and be convinced they should trust you then you’ve lost. People shouldn’t even think about this. Be trustworthy.
Add a human touch. I talk to my users. In my code, on my site. Don’t script. People are human. Speak to your users. Build a relationship. Be informal. Banter. If your users know you, if they trust you they want to use what you give them. They know it’s for them, not that it has a hidden reason for you.

DNS360
Almost forgot. To help out with my Time Warner duties I created a new little tool, DNS 360. It’s great for pulling WHOIS and DNS records. There are some changes I’d like to make, but it works for now. Check it out if you want.

Still around…
It’s been a month since my last update. Credit Flock with getting that one out to you, although I don’t use the browser. Call me old-school (or new) I like my Firefox. Version 3 is close to release and Parent Folder is 100% compatible with Beta 5.
On the JWebGen front, I added a feature called Surprise me that is a bit hit. Simple code, amazing results. It’s interesting, but I can only program when I just do. Any attempt to design or plan first hits a dead end. Trance helps as well. To those who follow my Last.fm you will see a fair amount of trance showing up. That often means I’m slinging code, and this time is no exception. Not saying what is is because it’s rough and I want it to be a surprise, but there is progress. I just need graphics.
That’s the update. Until next time, keep it turned here, same time, same great station.
