I gotta find some new online friends. A good chunk of my online social circle doesn’t blog much anymore. Not that I would have time to read their blogs… Still haven’t gotten to SP’s this week, sorries.
Work was crazy this week. All this weblogic upgrade crap was supposed to be done by Thursday, but someone only finished their work that our work relied upon about an hour before COB on Friday. Not that we would have our stuff done anyway because as we are learning, it’s freaking impossible when someone doesn’t tell you what exactly you have to change. We weren’t even close to finishing. And because that someone was busy doing the weblogic stuff, he also didn’t do another part of the project my stuff depended on. Hopefully everything will get done this week. Well, we don’t really have a choice, so it better get done. Work shall be crazy this week as well.
We went to Brian’s yesterday. Played us some Apples to Apples. Got looked at like a crazy person for saying I have acne. Yeah, my skin’s actually that clear right now, woo hoo! Brian made s’mores. He didn’t know they was my favorites.
Today I need to buy stuff. Yes, buying stuff good. Helping the economy. Yup.
I’m supposed to be making a website for Adi’s dad, but it’s not going so well. I did one design and I can’t get myself to work on it anymore. I don’t want to work when I’m not at work. Web design isn’t as fun as it used to be. Well, if I got to the coding part I think it would be more fun, I kind of want to play with some ajaxy goodness. I’m so over photoshop. It takes too much effort for me to make something that looks professional. I’m not a professional person. The design I made looks good, but it’s kind of a 50’s Sci-Fi theme. As professional as one can get from me I think, but a far cry from Julia’s stuff. She’s working with me on this, so hopefully she’ll come up with something better. Oh, he also wants flash stuff. I tried using this free program, but I just got really frustrated and gave up. Adobe Flash it is not. It’s not even Macromedia Flash. I’m not spending $700 on Flash. Not worth it in the least. I hate Flash sites anyway. I use NoScript and besides that, Flash sites are usually poorly designed with annoying navigation. Stop with the Flash already. It’s 2009, we use Ajax now.
Yeah, I need to find some more online friends too, because like you, I don’t have that many blogs to read now either… =/ I guess everybody’s growing up and not blogging anymore… Hehe… Oh, and it’s fine about not getting to my blogs lately. You have plenty of time to catch up. =P
Wow, sorry to hear about work… =/ I HATE it when work gets crazy. I also HATE it when you have to wait on somebody to finish their stuff so that you can work on your stuff. I’m in that waiting process right now, and it’s not fun! =(
Never heard of “Apples to Apples” before…
Haha, man, I bought like $200 worth of stuff in the past 4 days! =P
“I don’t want to work when I’m not at work.” YES! Same here!!! “Web design isn’t as fun as it used to be.” Yep, I feel the same way you do! That’s why a lot of the stuff I have is untouched now… =/ Yeah, yeah, I know, not good, but… It’s hard to do anything when you’re working full-time! You don’t want to work when you come home!! LOL, I know how you feel.
Oooh, Ajax stuff is FUN! Hehe! I was able to play around with it for work. =P
Yeah, I can’t make professional-looking stuff either. Haha about the flash. Yeah, I hate flash too. I’ve never really done much with flash before…
