Project - Two is finally live. If you want to participate, now is the time!

So, the local Guitar Center is finally open. So today, I met up with Paul (who I also call Ringo, and is back in Albuquerque until the 5th before he goes back to Japan until July) there, to check it out.

Unwilling thrustiness into the role of home-front tech support aside, I think this was a good week.

I saw on BoingBoing that Rusty has finally decided to do something about the troll problem.

A bit too little, too late, I'm afraid.

Ohio has decided to give special license plates to people who have been convicted of DUI.

Unfortunately, they just happened to choose the same color scheme that New Mexico has had for the past 20 years...

So, I went ahead and just worked with the existing codebase. Every time something was braindead or fugly I "refactored" it. Within two hours I'd rewritten all of the shit which had taken this other guy two weeks to do.

So, at 8:30 I thought I was running late to my first day of work, so I started to drive like a bat out of hell.

The user registration spam happened while I was not-asleep on the couch, stuck in a sleep paralysis/hypnagogic hallucination loop.

So when I finally forced myself out of it and made my way back to my computer, and saw my email dock icon indicating 444 new messages, I had to make extra-sure I wasn't still inside the loop.

Fortunately, the strongest cue that I'm having a hypnagogic hallucination is that my vision is in letterbox format.

Really.

So, tonight I jammed with Cosmic ReBop. It was fun.

He wanted someone with more direct SQL experience. I'll find out tomorrow, in any case.

Oh well, it was a fun interview anyway.

(From February 29.)

Remixfight featuring a baker's dozen remixes of Sunny Day is up. It is the awesome. I especially like Dr. Kong Balong, Mental Anguish, UnDesirable, Omnitechnomatrix, and Fourstones. Prank Monkey's is funny, too.

Also, Niveous wrote a silly fluffy porcupine theme song. (The "it's blinking" stuff is a reference to my forum avatar. I hope.)
