Story of my Life
State Employee (10:45:31 AM): It would have happened to all of you eventually ... you were just the first to experience it ... your co-workers should be thanking you ... you cut it off at the pass ... so it wouldn't happen to them.
Today is the Old Daylight Savings
So beware when comparing inter-computer dates. If the computer hasn't been patched correctly, you might get burned on bad date compares. Just keep that in mind for a week while your developing. I got burned by it this morning.
Get Your Scratch On
iPhone and iPod Touch freaks can get their scratch on with the FREE MixMeister Scratch, DJ Scratch application. I use the MixMeister application to edit and mix digital tracks, but thought I would post this freebie. Perfect for the mobile DJ, ha!
Freestyle Concert Preview!
Okay, I promised video snippets and you will get video snippets. I converted all the videos into a web-friendly format and may splice the pieces together where applicable. The clips are less than 30 seconds in length each, boo!
Video recording on the cell phone sucks, next time I will use a "real" video recorder. Also, the video quality is horrible. I do not know if I can optimize the video via software, but let me check it out before I post the jittering mess.
Here is a preview of concert-goers dropping it like its hot (yes, I was in the front row!):

Classic Toll Heads
Today, I witnessed not one but two classic toll heads!! The first idiot parked his car in the FasTrak only lane, got out of his car, and casually walked over to the booth in the adjacent lane and attempted to pay his fee. WTF! I assume he was not a FasTrak member.
The second toll head, appeared to have handed the toll operator only two dollars. The toll operator pointed to the signs with the posted toll fees. I do not know what words the two exchanged, but could make out "shut up" and a "fuck off" gesture from the operator.
This occurred during rush hour of course. One toll heads stops all damn traffic in his lane and the other toll head was bitching about the fees. I looked over and saw a lady "laughing her ass off" in her car, it was classic! Some people are just stupid, nice.
Code Tag Is Lame!
I had to post the last snippet of PHP code using the block quote tag, lame-o! Why you ask, because the <code> tag does not work as intended (yes, a feature). I inserted the opening <code> tag before the snippet and inserted the closing </code> tag at the end, duh.
What does WordPress do? WordPress does not know how to handle the closing </code> tag properly, so it appends it to the end of the first line of code (a comment no less). I tried it several different ways with the same lame-o result. Boo!
Daily WTF PHP
I recall seeing a similar jewel on the Daily WTF site some time ago, it was hilarious then and still stupid to this date. Last night, I was updating a new proxy site for our friend Sum Yum and BAM! A candidate for the Daily WTF site before my very eyes.
Check it out readers! The images are base64 encoded and somehow the author convinces himself that this is a good thing. Let me see, I need to maintain the images. What folder are they in? There is no images folder, because the images are encoded in the PHP file!
IMAGES (ugly but keeps it in a single file)
if ( isset($_GET['image']) ) {
// Send image function
function sendImage($str) {
header('Content-Type: image/gif');
header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s", filemtime(__FILE__)) . 'GMT');
header('Expires: ' . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s", filemtime(__FILE__) + (60*60)) . 'GMT');
echo base64_decode($str);
exit;
}switch ( $_GET['image'] ) {
case 'bg.gif':
sendImage('R0lGODlhkAMMAMQAAP////7+/v3+/fz9/Pr7+vn6+...');
break;
case 'button.gif':
sendImage('R0lGODlhCgAoAKIAAOno6Ovq6/f39////+vp6vPx8u...');
break;
case 'footer.gif':
sendImage('R0lGODlhkAMwAOYAAP////7+/v39/f3+/fz9/Pz8/Pv...');
break;
case 'loading.gif':
sendImage('R0lGODlhEAAQAPIAAP///2ZmZtra2o2NjWZmZqCgo...');
break;
}}
Freestyle Concert Update
I finally got around to converting the video clips from .3gp to Flash format. The question is as always, "Why do we have so many damn media formats?" Everyone wants to do their own thing, dammit. Can't we all just get along?
Anyway, I found a cool flash player and I am in the process of creating a video playlist. I am thinking about creating a playlist for each artist versus an all inclusive list. Now that I think about it, I will create different playlists and let the readers pick their choice.
