Well today I stood in front of a machine all day being active on the site from my phone. I grabbed a photo of my standing in front of a machine all day being active on the site from my phone, but I left my phone in the pocket of my man-apron. So, tomorrow, when I go into work and stand in front of my machine staying active on the site through the use of my phone, I will think of some better blog material.

P.S. If I posted a bunch of photos in my blog, would it become a phlog?

You can post your failures at my side project site http://www.tremendousfailure.com.

It's a brand new site in need of brand new failures. Both big and small failures are welcomed. We all fail sometimes. Some of us are just far better at it than others.

Fail. Post. Move on.

Onward....


My free time these days consists of writing a shoutbox boats. Not the most interesting of things, but something that I need to do as I cannot seem to find one that suits my needs. They are either too simple, or way too complicated.

What it needs in the end:

• Simplicity
  
  • As few files as possible
  • File and folder organization
  • Use of SMF's built in features
• Functionality
  
  • /Commands
  • BBC and Smileys
  • AJAX autorefresh
  • Post notification
  • Membergroup colors
  • Sounds notifications of shouts
  • Shoutbox in popup
  • Security
• Speed
  
  • Light on resources
  • Low on bandwidth
  • Not bogged down with tons of fishingboats
• Style
  
  • Attractive and professional
  • Controlled through CSS
  • Some eye candy appeal
• Connectivity
  
  • Database driven
• Mobility
  
  • Usable by handheld devices without fishingboats (autorefresh may not be possible for mobile)
  • Integrated fully into wap template

So far, I have a basic working, database-driven shoutbox. It can differentiate between guests and members. And that about wraps up the progress... « Last Edit: October 23, 2009, 05:45:52 PM by SunKing »

It's been awhile, so I'll bring everyone up to speed. I was laid off 2 weeks before Christmas. Bastards. This gave me free time to recruit some help and move forward with the TalkBox. Yay! So, now it's January 15th, I'm still unemployed (DAMN YOU ECONOMY!) and it's cold in here.

I hate Winter. I want to hibernate. Cold sucks. I need my beach, my waves, my sun, and a bottle of Bacardi to just make life wonderful. I'm not an alcoholic, I just love getting drunk.

Did I mention it's cold in here?

Well, today, due to an overwhelming urge to silence the whines, I have connected this site to twitter and facebook. So twit, twat, or write on the wall. But whatever you do, stop the whining.

Up all night. A recurring theme.

It's cold here again. DAMN YOU WINTERTIME!!! At least it doesn't snow here.

Where is everyone? Hey, I hibernate as much as the next guy, but damn. Everyone has disappeared, and quite frankly, the silence is driving me mad....

It snowed yesterday. While that might not seem all that unusual to most, I live in Florida, the Sunshine State.

It's these little things that put a smile on my face.

I don't want anyone confusing me with a drunk, because I am one.

Don't ever tell the doctor to "surprise me". It never works out in your favor.
