OK so after watching all these Cubs games you can't help but notice the Old Navy commercials. They play them constantly. The one with the woman walking around, all the guys smiling and winking at her. You know the one.
Anyone reading my site recently knows that I run an Internet radio station called Romance Life Radio on Live365.com. Currently, I have 300 MB of total space for music but only use up about 115 MB. I have lots of room for more songs! Unfortunately, getting new music for the station has required purchasing entire CDs of music for one or two romantic tracks. In general, that is a frustration I think many people have - having to buy a $16 CD for one good song.
Passed the Windows app dev exam for the MCSD.NET this morning. Boom. Not too bad honestly.
I recently worked on a web app where the general philosophy on exception handling was: every method catches any exceptions that occur inside it. The reasoning? When an exception occurs, its effects get contained and the page continues to render. In practice, certain parts of a page would show up blank while other parts rendered normally.
This pretty much sums up how I live my life. My parents will remember that I had a poster on my wall with these rules on it throughout my teenage and college years:
I hate goats. Officially. Heard about the Curse on the Cubs. Watched last night's game. Done.
Google is now showing this site as the #1 result when searching for "forkbender". This might seem a no-brainer but until recently, the "forkbender" at the top of the list was some website related to Uri Geller, the original spoon bending freak of the 1970s.
I spent a lot of time this past weekend retooling the ForkBender site and applying a new look and feel to the site. I hope everyone likes it. It is a major departure from the old look. A list of books I've read in the past and movies I seen in the past is now also available. I am getting ready to create a new List content type in Narrative so that I can create Top 10 Lists of favorite books, movies, restaurants, stores, etc.
MCSD studying continues. This book covers the Windows apps exam. Fun stuff. (Not really.)
