Pet Peeve #1

People who sit in the single seats on MUNI that have the audacity to cross their leg so that it sticks out into the walkway path.

I am totally fine if the leg is partially in the walkway since some people may have long legs and have trouble fitting into the space provided.

But, no way should the leg be so far out there that I need to swerve to the edge and walk sideways to get pass.

And when you bump or trip over their leg, they get pissed. Well, duh. The leg is so freaking far out there, it would be impossible to avoid.

Missing Data After AJAX Call

I was working through the night last night, burning the midnight oil as they say, trying to get this AJAX deal to work. I had to fill a select field with options once the user selects an option from a second select field. But, every time I made the AJAX call to retrieve the data, the target select field remained empty… in IE. Argh! IE! Why do you haunt me so?!

War of the In-laws 2: ?????????

This is a comedy series that started playing in december 2007. Bosco Wong, Myolie Wu, Joyce Tang, and a few more. Its about a war between the Mother and the In-law (myolie wu). The theme is around a fashion magazine called Elva where the Mother is the Director of the magazine.. Lots of tension between them results in some “driving you nuts” type of drama.  I”d rate it an 8/10.

Losing an Hour

As part of the bi-annual daylight savings time ritual, the clock is pushed forward an hour this weekend. Half a year later when the clock is pushed back an hour, one begins to wonder why this act is performed at all.

Someone somewhere once said that if the daylight savings time deal is never done then one of these days will have the day and night flip-flopped.  People will begin to wake up at night to go to work and sleep in during the day like vampires.

That would be cool.

One generation could be night-walkers and the next generation could be day-walkers like Blade!

Yes.

Mind is totally blank right now. No thoughts whatsoever.

And the Phun Begins

[youtube]0H5g9VS0ENM[/youtube]

From an internal email list at work today, this little gem popped through and introduced a little fun into what had been a drab work day.

From the words of the creator, Emil Ernerfeldt, Phun is a “fun 2D physics sandbox”. The program was written by Emil for his Masters of Science Thesis at Umeå University. The program allows the user to create and manipulate objects and see the effects of gravity and motion.

Open Flash Chart

In an earlier blog entry where I spoke about moving hosts, I mentioned using Chris Heilmann’s Canvas Pie Chart in some way. Unfortunately, I never got around to digging into the code to create something for Frobie.

However, while browsing through SourceForge for cool scripts, I found another option for my graph creations. The option turned out to be an open-source flash script created by John Glazebrook called Open Flash Chart.

Movie Review: Family Guy Blue Harvest

Blue HarvestFamily Guy meets Star Wars. This movie is hilarious! Take the wacky yet brilliant humor of Family Guy and apply it to Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope. The result is one damn entertaining movie.

The only gripe I had with the movie was its length. It is about 45 minutes long. This “movie” is actually the season 6 opener, aired on TV in September, 2007. The 45 minute length is the amount of content shown during a regular hour of broadcast television, with commercials filling up the rest of the time. It would have been great if this movie was feature length, say 80 minutes or so.
