Aug. 24th, 2005 11:09 pmFinished (hopefully) the commission layout. I mean, it's done and he's got a proof and hopefully he doesn't find too much wrong with it. I'm still not convinced he understands the whole thing. *sigh* I still don't think he understand the concept of an automated gallery. I hate when people have learned web construction using those stupid online java site crap things because then I have to unteach them all the assbackward ways of doing things. *sigh* Anyway, I'm waiting for him to okay the design to I can figure out how to make it idiot proof (CSS maybe...) and then get the gallery working.
I just upgraded both my Globat accounts to the new terabyte package. W00t! Spending money I really shouldn't, but well, 10GB of space and 300GB of bandwidth per month! How could I not? I mean, hello. Geek.
Google Talk. IMing, but mostly internet voice chatting? Not sure what the big deal is. Someone explain the attraction. On the plus side, Google Talk is actively supporting open standards so you can use Trillian, etc to connect. Which is nice, I guess. Too bad AIM & MSN aren't really allowing the same thing (meaning sometimes the connection can be wonky if you've logged on to both, or so I've heard).

FBI Agents' 'Wedding' Is a Bust for Guests
Dozens from an alleged Asian smuggling ring operating partly in California are arrested trying to attend a bogus New Jersey ceremony. .. The U.S. attorney for Los Angeles, Debra Wong Yang, said Operation Smoking Dragon had resulted in four indictments and the seizure of nearly $1.2 million in counterfeit currency, $40 million in fake cigarettes, 9,100 Ecstasy pills, nearly 9 pounds of methamphetamine and large amounts of counterfeit Viagra and other pharmaceuticals.
...Operation Smoking Dragon?! That smacks of white boy trying to be clever and cool. *facepalm*
queenmaab - Guess what I got in the mail today? :D So yes, I have Taintor things to give you. We'll have to meet up soon.
Sunday I'll be meeting with
alorarose and
trippininabox when I go with mom to bring
seijitataki back to L.I. for school. I haven't seen either in a while.
It's possible that I'm making a copy of Nothing for someone at work. It also possible that I'm going to let it run unattended because it's going to take too long and I want to go to bed.
