new website + stealing + House

Sunday, April 4th, 2010 at 10:19 pm

1. I’m working on a new website…

http://www.warrenshea.com/

It’s currently being built in PHP, saving my ASP.NET for another site…might as well (finally) learn PHP…and frig, is that language ridonculously easy and intuitive. I’m also going to incorporate this blog’s content into that site…and actually get rid of my blogspot eventually but that will be in time. I’ve got wordpress on my new site which uses PHP so it works well with my site already…which is sweet….and perfect…and planned.

This means I’ve got a new addiction that’s usurping blogging…working on my new website. At least that is more productive for me. It’ll mean I’ll probably blog less.

2. Stealing

I’ve never smoked. I’ve never done any drugs. I don’t jaywalk when I’m alone. I’m a fairly law abiding citizen…with the exception of my speeding while driving. Recently, I’ve begun stealing. Cutlery. From restaurants I dine at. Now, I’ve only done it twice…but I do so enjoy it.

First, it was at a sushi place called Ginza, this was 4 months ago…I took some nice chopsticks (see below).

And today, I was at the Keg…and I took these…forks. They’re so cute!

3. House

I watched the season finale of episode 4…and it was awesome. I was speechless for minutes after watching it. I had tears in my eyes…it was so sad. For me, a show that can cause these types of emotions means that it’s a good show. That it’s doing its job. There aren’t many shows that can do that to me. The only other one coming to mind is Battlestar Galactica. Anyways…just wanted to write about that. I’m on S05E18…hoping to be caught up on House by tomorrow. This means watching about an entire seasons worth in 1 day. It’s doable. I have no life.

What to do this morning…another irrelevant post

I’ve moved all my images to my current domain, a fairly unused webspace, horderockcafe.com

I think I prefer the images here rather than on blogger because they re-optimize/re-size images. Somewhat useful. Somewhat annoying.

Ugh, looking at http://www.horderockcafe.com/version_1/ really makes me feel the need to do a new site. I did the above in 2 days (design and dev) during exam time in 2006 because I was applying for a web job and only had 2 days notice before I had to show them something. In 2006, my 2003 site (azn_prometheus) was simply too old and sh!tty to send.

It’s funny how at work, I can code an HTML mockup in like, 1/2 a day easy. I pride myself on my HTML page creation speed, browser compatibility, easy to read source, etc. I work fast, I’m accurate, I’m frakkin’ good. However, it takes me forever to do/code my own site…I guess there are distractions at home and no deadline so it’s easier to procrastinate. Also, despite having a general idea of the site I want, having to design it, while really fun, kills the developer in me. My design side and development side are always fighting.

Anyways, I think I’ll write one more blog this morning. Something that’s been on my mind recently. I find that I’m always either writing right when I wake up, or during my prime awake times (right before I sleep).
