I just finished a project. This is going to be a technical showcase piece for me. Valid css, valid html, very semantic, well documented, database driven, client front-end, client backend (password protected area), employee backend, with a shopping cart. I’m quite pleased although I could continue tweaking it until days end (such is the way of a perfectionist). I don’t often find it appropriate to blog work related items. Work like this comes to me by designers that have worked with their clients to create the desired look and feel and a light specification. I then take that artwork and turn it into the html layout, build the database design, tighten up the specification and so forth to create a functioning web application. Much fun!

I always thought I’d be dead at 35.
I never thought I’d still be breathing.

Once upon a time
I was feeling fine
Delusioned, crazed
And heart ablaze

What ruined me?
Visa, Mastercard
“Charge please”

What was my downfall?
The need to please.

What brought me to my knees?
Caffeine
Simulated ADHD.

And how did I cope?
Fraternization
And fermentation.

What now?
I break
I’ve broke.

Student: I am terribly stressed.
Master: You choose to be stressed.

James of Puerilis has turned his webcam back on.

Student: Subtle
Master: Art

Apparently James and I share similar feelings.

Next time someone at the office says they "need a cup of hot coffee" sue them for sexual harassment!

"cup of hot coffee" — a euphemism for sex

Looks like Joseph Lieberman and Hillary Rodham Clinton are jumping on the censorship bandwagon. What happened to the "inform the parents and let them make decisions for their children" bandwagon? The government really should not be dictating morals for me nor should they be trying to raise my kids.

Postcards from Hell’s Kitchen gives us a good picture of the Republican Party.

I have this naming convention for changes. I create a folder "perclientname" so I might have folders for "perdoug" "persusan" etc. I have a client now named rick. I’m changing my naming convention.

I’m not sure why they want to speed the process along. I mean, I don’t have a good life insurance policy or something beneficial. But I am quite certainly my family is making a calculated effort at trying to give me a heart attack.

Abraham Lincoln’s famous self-instruction: “I do not like that man; therefore I shall get to know him better.”

Whether or not ol’ Abe ever said that is irrelevant. What great advice!

Found out one of my mentors from college occasionally blogs. He and another (works for HP now I think), whose site is not coming up at the time of this post, were more influential to me personally and professionally than they will ever know.

Student: Do you ponder death?
Master: I ponder life.
