Blog Logo Concept II
Here is another concept for a new logo. The concept includes a bullhorn calling out the "wassupjose". I have a couple of comments regarding the new concept. I am not feeling the orange outline and it gives the "Jose" text a washed out look and feel.
Lightweight in the House
I have been hovering around 155 lbs. for a couple weeks now, so I think it is appropriate to claim that I am officially a Lightweight at 155 lbs. The last 3-4 pounds were hard to take off for some reason; it took about 4 weeks to shed the weight. Target 145 lbs. to 150 lbs.
TFS makes me shit a brick
I accidently made my root directory the C:\ drive when modifying my workspace for the first time. I had already accepted the change and added a folder before I realized my error, so I decided to change my workspace path to a new local directory. This would move all my contents from its current path (C:\) to the new one. It then tried to delete the root and I received this message.
C:\ cannot be deleted because it is not empty.
Thankfully the safegaurd is in place, but it still made my heart skip a beat.
Blog Logo Concept
The Sleepy Blue theme is getting boring and I think it is time for a change. In lieu of a new theme or total redesign, I think a new logo and updated CSS will work for now. Below is a logo concept, let me know what you think.
Cougar Sighting
Yes, I saw a cougar this afternoon ... where? At the local Walgreens strolling around looking for her next prey. Well, maybe not looking for her next prey but cougar-like indeed. I saw her walk into the store and thought to myself, "hmm, she is an attractive cougar".
She walked to another part of the store, so the encounter was short lived ... wrong. Our paths crossed in the beverage aisle, specifically the cold freezer. I was searching for the Sobe drinks and she stopped by to buy several cartons of eggs.
Know that I think about it, she was squatting down to pickup the egg cartons to attract attention. As I left, I noticed that she put back 3-4 cartons of eggs back into the freezer and walked to the register. *light bulb turns on*
Description: Bleached blonde, enhanced, hot pink short skirt, lime green spaghetti strap top, and matching green heels with hot pink piping. A nice consistent tan. I wish I could have taken a picture to post on the blog, but I did not want to be too obvious.
Can I get an enumeration?
I am assisting an owner (i.e. buyer) of a popular PHP-based social networking platform with query optimization and noticed the following:
{
$smarty->assign('header', $message[23]);
$smarty->assign('message', $message[28]);
$smarty->assign('footer', $message[29]);
}
The above is part of the internationalization support, but I find it odd that the developers did not use a common enumeration versus using magic numbers throughout the code. Let me see, what is the ordinal for that error message ... hmm.
Good Code, Bad Code
The refactored function (10 lines of code including the white space to be fair 
)
Public Function CallFunc(strFunctionName As String) As Boolean
On Error GoTo vbwErrHandler
CallFunc = TLI.InvokeHook(Me, strFunctionName, INVOKE_FUNC)
Exit Function
vbwErrHandler:
CallFunc = False
End Function
The old function below the fold(600 lines of code).
The Gasoline Crunch
After Jose was complaining about the recent gas hike, I had to drive out to Roseville for a family tech call. I must have been just under a half a tank when i left and the next time I went out I noticed that I was riding on fumes. So I had to hit up the gas station, obviously. Then I saw this:
Then I filled up my 10 gallon tank and saw this:
Also, I fill up twice a month. That shit's cheaper than the bus, son. Even with the price hike. Suckas!
