Day #4 — June 6, 2006 — HURRY! TAKE THE PICTURE!

Boy what a day.

So I didn’t wake up until around 11:30am. Thats not really out of the ordi­nary. Some­times I’m not even up until 1:00pm. Guess if I get that job I’ll have to actu­ally go to sleep and wake up at rea­son­able hours. Bummer.

Got to work on my com­puter. Got a TON done on Ann King’s web­site. I was dread­ing even hav­ing to start work­ing on it, but it has actu­ally been pretty fun. And it is turn­ing out awe­some. I imple­mented Light­box v2 to han­dle the real estate pho­tos, which adds a lot to the use­ful­ness of the page (nobody wants to spawn a thou­sand pages when look­ing at real estate pho­tos). Still work­ing on the func­tion to han­dle the dis­play­ing of the thumb­nails. I need to run a func­tion to fig­ure out how many pho­tos there are for each MLS list­ing, and then I need to resize the pho­tos (and prob­a­bly do some auto­matic touch-up so they don’t look like crap), and finally they need dis­played on the page. But trust me. It looks cool. Unfor­tu­nately I haven’t even started on the search code.

Even­tu­ally I left and got a hair­cut. I wanted to take my daily pic get­ting the hair­cut, but I for­got my cam­era at home. Oops.

After that to the bank, and finally to Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart made me so mad today. First, I get a gimp cart that decides it wants to drive to the left, so I’m fight­ing this stu­pid cart the whole time. And then there are 10 bil­lion peo­ple in the store, so I have to fight my gimp cart around all of them, includ­ing this idiot lit­tle girl that kept show­ing up EVERYWHERE and she wasn’t wear­ing shows so I had to be care­ful not to smash her feet. And to top it all of, they were OOS on like 5 items I wanted. Man I HATE going to the store only to find the things I want aren’t there. Espe­cially when it is all the way across town. Egh. Oh well. I got some Donut Sticks. Man those things are tasty.

So all tonight I’ve pretty much just been work­ing on Ann’s web­site. It is going to be beau­ti­ful. Stun­ning even. I’ll tell you when it is done.

So I was talk­ing to my dad, and I glanced at the clock, and it said 11:53pm. And I was like, “OH NO!”. And I ran upstairs and grabbed my cam­era and tossed it to him and I was like “HURRY! TAKE THE PICTURE!”. And he was a bit con­fused but he took the pic­ture. It didn’t come out very well and has noth­ing to do with what I did today, but at least I got it.

To be hon­est, these pic­tures suck. Maybe once I get a life out­side of the 5×5 space that my desk occu­pies there will be some good pic­tures. But until then, oh well. I never said a picture-a-day would be interesting.
