Well ya’ll, last day in Cali for a while. I head home today at noon! I’m so excited. I don’t think any work will be getting done today.

My defect list for 1.0 has been fairly impressive and yet easy to manage. Most of them have been cosmetic changes. (Fuck you IE). Other issues have been that PHP was running out of memory. html2pdf uses a lot! Today is the roll out for defect fixes and we go live on Monday. Thank god I’m not here. :)

Speaking of, I’m not even taking my laptop with me to Iowa. I’m going to _attempt_ to stay away from the computer for the whole week. No e-mail, no myspace, no nothing. Good luck to me!

Yesterday I was driving home and heard a song that I’ve been enjoying for a while. They finially said who it was… “Panic! At the Disco, fresh out of high school”.. That’s what they said. I was like, “How could that voice be coming from a HS boy!” So I went and looked them up.. They are YOUNG looking. Then I downloaded the album. I love you iTunes. :)

I finially sold my old laptop as well! $900. :) Some idiot actually had the nerve to offer me $500. Fucker. Anyways, it was these two asian guys… There’s a scratch on the lid of it.. They kept saying, “Female not like, they like pretty”. I’m serious, direct quote!

So after that I took out what I needed to pay for my plane tickets, new laptop hard drive, and the LCD screen for my camera. Which left me with $300… I went to the mall. It’s gone now. :(

I got a 2 pairs of shoes and 2 pairs of pants. The fun news is that I fit into a 30×32! I’m amazed! The 30 was a bit tight through the thighs though, so I ended up getting a 31×32. I have to have the other pair hemmed though, cause they are 32×34.

My loot includes:

Rocket Dog Shoes

GBX Shoes

A&F Jeans

Banana Republic Slacks

(I wanted to buy the shirt in that pic too, but it was the same price as the damn slacks!)

After that I packed shit up and then spent the rest of the night hanging around my house.

Anyways, if anyone wants to hang out in Iowa, let me know!

Adios.

Stable 1.0!

Posted by Cj B on July 28th, 2006 in My Life, Not Published (Post a comment)

Yay, today I’m releasing the first stable version of the software I’ve been writing! :)

I’m very excited about this… It only took 19,582 lines of code! YAY!

Last night I was up late working on a new component to it. This new thing won’t be ready till next week, but instead of e-mailing attachements in HTML with Base64 encoded images (which apparently aren’t supported by IE, screw you!) I’m using PDF’s now instead. So yesterday I spent the day finding something that can correctly read the style sheets, etc. Then I spent all last night getting the one that worked the best to work correctly! And it finially does! :)

BTW, I’m using html2pdf.

I had tons of plans yesterday, but got ditched for them all. It kinda sucked and was good at the same time. First I was supposed to have lunch with this guy JT, he was in the area for the day, said he’d call me at 1. He finially called at 1:30 and said he was running late, which was fine. I was on my way home by that point. Said he’d call when he was done with his errands. About 3:30 he calls me again, but by that point it he was already back in Long Beach, cause something came up, or whatnot? I dunno.

Then I was supposed to go play tennis with this other guy, but we couldn’t find anywhere free around here, and I didn’t want to drive up to LA to play. And then lastly, I was supposed to go biking with Jason, but his friend was dropping something off in the area and wanted to hang out. So yeah. So I went on a bike ride by myself, and then of course right after I got back Greg called wanting me to go to the gym with him. I was too tired, so I said no.

It all ended up being good though, because I was able to get that PDF generator to work, which means less stress today for Stable 1.0! :)

Adios!

All American Rejects!

Posted by Cj B on July 27th, 2006 in My Life, Not Published (2 Comments)

AAR Concert last night ROCKED!

Sooooo much fun, even though I’m DEAD tired this morning. LARGE amounts of coffee shall be consumed today.

Alex showed up at my office shortly after 5, we hung out there waiting for Robert. He got there, we drove over tot he Fair, even though we got lost. :( The 405/55 were horrible, so we were just going to take side streets, but we clearly missed our turn somewhere.

Got to the fair, yummy smells commenced. :) We got brats to start, then I had a funnel cake! Yummmy! I can’t wait to get back to Iowa where the REAL fair food is! Lamb burgers here I come!

After the food, we wondered around some and then went to the stage. Hung out there waiting for the band to start. Saw a Jay look alike, although shorter and he didn’t have as nice an ass. haha. I could have also sworn I saw Stephen Oda there, I txted him, but the bitch never got back to me.. I’m sad that we never hung out more often, he was a nice guy.

The first band came on, some crazies from Boston, Mass. They were pretty good, but no one really got into them.

They left, and then there was like an hour of stage crap… And finially the Rejects came on! Woot! They were great… And so fucking hot! :) Yummy.

After they were done, we went over and rode the farris wheel and then left, Robert and I were dead tired!

On the way home, a motorcylce went flying past me, weaving in and out of the HOV lane. He had to have been doing 110+… Shortly after that there was a CHP flying through traffic, swearving from the left shoulder over to the right sholder and back… If that CHP ever caught up to that moto boy, he’s gonna be in a HELLA deep water… Not only for speeding like a MOFO, but for also weaving in and out of the HOV lane and I’m sure 8 million other things. haha. Sucks to be him!

Not too much else going on, still trying to plan for this mess of a trip to San Diego this weekend. Thank god I just got a check for $80 in the mail, so now I don’t feel so bad for spending the money to go down there

I found out yesterday that the CD player in my car doesn’t work any more.. Add that to the list of other things that don’t work… :( So I’ve been hard core looking into getting a new car again… I know, I’ve been talking about this for like 2 years, but still! I will _eventually_ actually get something.

I’ve found a nice 2005 Audi A4 Convert… Not including the $6K base cost over the Civic I’m also looking at, it’ll cost me ~$2k per year that I own it over the cost of the yearly civic costs. (Ie, insurance, gas, registration). So yeah. I dunnno if it’s worth it. It looks so fucking nice though! :(

Lance Bass is gay! Yay! What a fucking hot bitch.

Exxon Mobil made $10.4 BILLION in profits… Umm, excuse me? Why are we being charged so much at the pump again? That’s fucking $1,318 a second!!!!

I’m out!

PS. What’s wrong with me? I was just watching the KCCI news coverage of RAGBRAI and randomly started crying. WTF?!

30 Miles!

Posted by Cj B on July 25th, 2006 in My Life, Not Published (3 Comments)

Ouch…

Jason and I did 30 miles yesterday. We weren’t planning on it, but we just got started riding and then just kept going and going. Made it all the way to Marina Del Ray, and saw where the fucking outrigger team is based. Which just happened to be the point where I was telling the associated story, so it was kinda funny. We also think we witnessed some woman giving birth on the beach… Well, there was a lot of firetrucks/etc. And the woman had her legs up in the air. lol

I’m enjoying hanging out with him, he’s very nice.

Work yesterday was a complete waste. The internet was down for 2 hours. Then once it came back up, I had like 800 people IMing me to do stuff. Needless to say, I didn’t get much done at all.

Nothing really exciting going on here. I’m heading out to Chino, CA today with Carlito. That’s going to be one LONG ass drive!

Adios!

RE: I only ask one question…

Posted by Cj B on July 16th, 2006 in Not Published (Post a comment)

Well, Jay Finially replied to me….

Ugh…. :( To be honest, I’ve always worried about living up to your expectations and not causing drama, but I knew that it was inevitable. I’ve been so slammed and so consumed in my own thoughts that I haven’t been a good person to anyone, aside from my family and to work. I’m just not social right now, and so when I didn’t call and you, naturally became upset, and I just naturally starting to want to be out of the current situation. I just didn’t have the energy or heart to call you back and have to have a dramatic conversation. I didn’t have the heart to say that I think being together would be extremely hard.

I hate that I did what I swore I wouldn’t do. Ultimately, logistically its just too hard for us to be together and to meet each other’s expectations. Its not that I don’t think we’re not good for each other, or that I don’t want to be in a relationship. Logistically, its difficult and I do not want to enter a situation that has a high possibility of being frustrating and dramatic.

I’m sorry that I can’t tell you this in person, as this is a terrible way to talk, but its the path of least resistance and drama.

I’m sorry.

- Jay

What the fuck does that even really mean?! It reallly confused me… What are my expectations that he can’t live up to? Perhaps it’s all just a line…But I replied to him:

Lets be honest here.. It would have been easier if you had used one of the asinine excuses most boys use when breaking things off with me. “It’s not you it’s me”…”I’m not ready yet”. But your clearly well thought out and hopefully heartfelt message brings to me more questions, and only adds to the hurt of what’s transpired. I’d like to assume it is heartfelt and not just that you’re a master of the game.

You say that you feel you can’t live up to my expectations, I’m not quite sure what this means. What expectations are you not capable of living up to? I don’t expect a lot, except for honesty, truth and doing as you say you will. I’m also not sure what you mean by not causing drama, do you feel that I’m a drama filled person?

I’m sorry to hear that things in your life are not going well, I honestly do wish that you had spoken to me about these issues. I still would like to hear how things went with your parents, and would like to understand why you are being so hard on yourself with these things. You have shown yourself to be a great person and it seems you have a great future for yourself.

I did become upset when you didn’t call. I had been looking forward to it all day, I only wish that you’d have let me know what was going on sooner. It also really hurt that you did what you swore you wouldn’t.

I shall miss your friendship, and only wish that things could have turned out much better. I wish that you’d have given me a chance to show you what I hold. My heart is huge and I only seek to share that with people who I enjoy being around and with. I enjoyed our time together, and hope that you did to.

If you ever feel a want for my friendship, you are more then welcome to contact me. Although the last week has proven bad for your character, I feel at heart you are a good person. I’d like to have that around.

Good luck on your endeavors.

Pennauweleman,

Cj

One of my friends said that I.. “slammed [the door] and said if you come back the key will fit“. lol. I dunno. He hasn’t replied to that yet, I figure since it’s the weekend he’s not reading his e-mail. Since I only have his work address. Whatever. I’m still sad.
