I miss UI designing
01.24.2012

And I shall promptly design again in my spare time. Come to think of it... I have designed many "ideas" of mine, maybe I shouldn't design and make those "ideas" come to fruition.

But then again, I do miss designing stuff :(

why I went back to netflix :(
11.16.2011

I went back to netflix because my dad wanted to watch movies. All day he watches movies on my hulu account and continuously wants to watch movies only available via h+ (hulu plus).

Long story short: netflix is easier for my dad to use and ends the "it won't let me see 'Four Dragons', it only shows for a couple of minutes!" debacle.

I believe netflix knows this too, only that fact would give a company the cojones to raise prices by 60% during a recession and record quarter profits.

I am not 100% happy about my service because my old instant queue got deleted. I only left for two months (they promised to keep the queue for 2 years). Unsuprisingly, they didn't delete my old credit card info.

Is greed good? Maybe. But definitely not at 60% and not at a cost of customer disrespect. I mean, 'quikster'(sp? quickster? quickstar? quikstar? wtfomgbbq?)... come on! That is sooooo 1980s, ask Coca-Cola.



...and it does pain me to write this. Cold. Catarrh. Headache. I hope a bug doesn't fly into my mouth as I breathe through it :(

the words. the words. the words.

Taking a programming hiatus for NaNoWriMo. I'm writing a story about a super smart gal; and I am constantly reminding myself that I am allowed to write gibberish.

I did not write my 1,667 words yesterday, so my goal is to write at least 3,500 words tonight. Let's see what the caffeine drags in :)

What is NaNoWriMo?

chrome userscript / greasemonkey-esque

I just wanted to look up some lyrics... this may change in the future, but this is a quick solution for now.

Add jquery source to the top, then add:

$(function (){
	host = window.location.hostname;
	if(host=='songmeanings.net'|| host=='www.songmeanings.net')
	{
		$("body").html($("#artits_wdgt").html());
		$("body").css({'width':500, 'margin':'0px auto', 'font-size':'10px'});
		$("div.box_gray_inner div:first, div.box_gray_inner div:last").remove();
	}
});								
				

Save as ‹filename›.js then drag & drop unto chrome and install. Voila! All flavor, no bite.
(contemplating making this paginated... and adding comments, but the end shall tell... )

learning without obligations

It does a body good.

I figured I learn most of the lyrics to songs while driving, why not learn about marketing while driving too? And so I am (and so I did). iTunes U is so nice for that :)


(I'm still a PC).

Working exclusively on SalesBakery in my spare time :)

Learning to pin my focus on one thing at a time. Multi-tasking is art & the art of completion is science.


Paint me Einstein.

Running out of ideas? Never!
03.26.2011

Time to work on Autowhale.com. I listed the domain for sale using zowly.com, but now... I think I want to start working on it.

Initially it was set to be similar to autotrader.com + ebay motors... but I don't have that much time on my fingers.

So, now... it is going to be something else. Another monster. And with time, depending on how it goes, I will open it up for third party, etc etc

The day I run out of ideas...? haha

Finally, shalltell.com is revamped!
03.19.2011

I had about four designs I played around with for the new shalltell.com. I was happy with the final revision. It was perfect. A little color mixed in the black background... an image behind the grid; an image of the forest; a nice green.

But as heaven would have it, my computer gave me the BSOD. I restarted it and shrugged it off; this would have been the perfect time to commit these files... but, as usual, it's they are my files so I took my time... stuck in the 'design mode'.

Then, my little dell d510 (running XP) finally coughed her last breath... and died. I restarted it but, it seems she already had a DNR order.

Ten minutes later, as my computer withdrawal symptopms symptoms started to emerge, I rushed off to Fry's and got another computer.

I love my new baby. She's glossy (I wanted a dell, easier to take apart and stuff... but this HP caught my eye). I took my new laptop home, tossed the manual to the side and started working on my new shalltell.com

It wasn't the same as my dell... (I call her ol'bessie or d510 when I need to print)... but I'm getting used to this computer. Eventually I will have to get my files off ol'bessie's drive. But until then.... cheers!

Welcome to the new shalltell.com; may the elipses be with you.
