How good it feels
December 1st, 2007
I forgot how good it feels to have pride in your work. Like the other day when I was flipping through a magazine and I stopped on a product that looked awfully familiar. It suddenly hit me that I was working on the website for the manufacturer of that product and it filled me with glee. (Silly, I know, but still very enjoyable.)
It’s incredible to think back just a few months, to a time when I was beginning to hate my job, regret my career path, and despise the asses people I worked for; to now, where I once again, enjoy my job, consider excitedly what the future holds, and genuinely appreciate the awesome people I work with.
I guess the lesson here is - don’t give up or give in.
Addressing some concerns

I’m seriously getting old here. Right now I’m entering addresses into my address book from Christmas cards. Wow.
I’m just glad Apple’s Address Book is so easy to use.
PHP Dependency
October 16th, 2007
I really hate how dependent I’m becoming on PHP. I find myself writing command line scripts in them and today, I find myself using it to directly process stuff. php -r may not be as cool as running interactive python or ruby, but it’s really handy.
And on another note, as fun as it may seem to pile a bunch of commands all on one line separated by semi-colons — don’t.
