Lost in work – Charlie is an Other May 24, 2006 7:44 pm

Dean was correct. And thanks for the reminder!. I’ve been franticly trying to please my clients. Up at 3:30am and asleep sometime between 10pm and midnight. The rest of the day is work work work with necessary breaks to meet family need. However! I wanted to get one Lost note in from last week.

All the reviews I read were good. I think some people wrongly assess the episode as light. I found it a very necessary and connecting piece. Some of the characters have gone directions that I never expected. Locke was so strong in season one and season two has given him a beating but don’t we all go through that in life? We have our strong moments then we have our times of weakness where no matter how hard we try things don’t seem to go our way. Before I commented on this I had wanted to watch the episode again. Time didn’t permit so here is my comment that I only saw one person so lightly touch on…

Is Charlie working with The Others? Bringing the medicine to Claire was too convenient. It was also wrong. If you medical equipment like that wouldn’t you take it to the doctor instead of to a new born?! And to say he knows it doesn’t hurt because he has tried it is almost admitting that he is getting shots. I seriously doubt the vials would have such specific instructions. If you were among The Others or whomever the medicine is intended, you would be briefed on why and how to use it. Does that make Desmond an Other? The directions are specific to Claire. Charlie did not find the medicine! He was instructed to deliver it.

I am very much looking forward to tonight’s episode!

Have you ever looked at someone and wanted to shout, "Cut down on the botox!" and maybe as an after thought, "and drink some water." I saw this piece of leather in the car beside me today and couldn’t fight back a brief tribute to Joe DeRita. Yeeaaa ahhhh. Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck. I guess people from the beach are retiring in Knoxville.

Yesterday the neighbor caught me in the driveway as I started to take Noah to karate.

Neighbor: "Doug is Noah home? Beth (a first grader) is over an hour late."
Dad: "Noah is in the car."
Neighbor: "Noah, did Lisa (Beth’s mother) pickup Beth?"
Noah, 10 years: "No."
Dad: "Did Beth ride the bus home with you?"
Noah: "Yes."
Dad: "Did she walk home with you?"
Noah: "Yes."
Dad: "Do you know where she is?"
Noah: "No, her mom took her somewhere."

I just finished a fun piece of code for a client. In addition to web server logs, they have a prioprietary advertising campaign tracker. They needed data aggregated and queries optimized which was phase 1 and included some MS SQL stored procedure magic, queries of queries (ColdFusion), and manually creating query result sets.

Phase II was to minimize the amount of text presented, show results in graphs, and create a way for an advertising client to view only their data. Fortunately, ColdFusion comes through with a fancy tag called CFChart and after the server configuration was debugged, graphs appeared. Then text on the screen was hidden using CSS (and I’m really starting to use and enjoy the cascading aspect of css) and made to appear through JavaScript.

Since some charts show way too much data, a form was added to filter the data and only show lines on the graphs that are relevant to the end user’s needs.

I hate hearding the 4 year old start repeated over and over "I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry." while hearing the 1 year old gasp for air and cry.
