Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
Home at a sensible time yesterday. TJ was out inhaling beers so I spent the evening fiddling with bits of freakcity, chatting to people online and eating crap food. Unshocker. But bacon sandwiches are fun Tweaked some bits of freakcity. Worked out how to make ASPJpeg behave well enough to resize images and save them when people upload them — so people don’t have to worry bout the 200k limit and I don’t have to worry bout the server having all its space eaten up. This added to the bits that I did on the forums for version 2 of the site last year basically all add up to me being able to implement avatars verreh soon. Which is nice I may attempt to work out how to make animated ones work, although I’ll have to bypass ASPJpeg for that as it doesn’t support animated gifs. Very impressed with the speed of the new server...it don’t alf shift along... Bed at a completely unreasonable 1:30am. Whoops Oh well, I was having fun. The company has been mentioned in someone’s blog. Groovy. Apparently this person really likes the service creation environment and the fact we’re interactive. Go us. Up earlyish considering the time I went to bed. Fixed my puncture and made lunch, reassembled my bike, got dressed, headed to work and discovered on the way that the reason why I’ve been feeling dead when cycling the last week or so is that the front wheel is so buckled the brakes don’t fit any more. So I’ve been cycling with brakes partly on. Grr. Annoying work stuff and then I escaped at lunch to attempt to rectify the bike issue. £50 lighter I emerge from a bike shop with a shiny new wheel. Set it all up ouside the shop and then headed back to the office 1.5 hours later. Woops. So I may end up being a tad skint after all. Urg. Not 100% sure I’ll manage Brighton now, will see later in the week. Bah.
