UPDATE: The website I had a big live site emergency with on Friday ended up having another issue on Saturday that I had to work on for another four hours and then another hour on Sunday. And this is just the teaser site. I'm not looking forward to the full version.
The FCC has approved HD radio so you're gonna be seeing a lot more of that around now. KLOS just launched a hi def station and KROQ has been doing it for a while. You can click here to check out the KROQ HD radio station. It's cool because it's all classic '80s. Even the bumpers between songs are the '80s bumpers.
UPDATE: The people at work who wouldn't tell me where I could drop my templates ended up pushing my files to the wrong location. I got two hours of overtime waiting for them to fix it.
Just had a big live site emergency at work. One of my sites blew up. Was able to fix it by making an HTML version of it real quick. Luckily it wasn't a big site. That's what happens when you have too much stuff going on at one time and everybody crying because their stuff isn't live. Stuff gets overlooked.
What the heck is the deal with the people I work with that, when asked a question, they can't give you a simple answer? Everybody has to be real cryptic with their answers or totally give you info that has nothing to do with anything. Answer the freaking question! I've got things that need to be live and you can't just tell me where to drop a template.
DOH! Brad Delp, the singer for Boston died yesterday. Cause of death is still not known.
I went to McDonald's yesterday with Nopal and they were giving away free samples of their new angus burgers. It was a good size and quite tasty. We were thinking of going there again today and trying the full burger but decided to try the new Carl's Jr. buffalo chicken burger. Boy, was that a mistake. The buffalo chicken burger sucks. It does not taste like buffalo wings. It tastes like the Carl's Jr. chicken sandwich with a little spicy to it. Save your money and check out the McDonald's angus burger. Your stomach will thank you.
Man, there's a lot of cool Flash games showing up on the Internet lately. I've been playing Desktop Tower Defense the last couple of days and before that it was Boxhead. Now there's The Fancy Pants Adventure: World 2 demo competing for my time. I need to spend some time working on this idea I have for the DOH! Network game server page but these games are distracting me and before I know it a couple of hours have gone by.
I just spent this last week writing programming a website contest for a screening for a movie trailer and it was almost finished and was sweet with a quiz where you had to answer seven out of ten questions that were selected via javascript from a list of a hundred questions without duplicates but then on like Thursday afternoon the business unit decided they changed their mind with how it was gonna be and pretty much everything I did got scrapped. Now it's just log in so we can check your age, select a city and get a phone number. Ah well. it got me inspired to mess around with some code for my own site and I spent a couple of hours this weekend messing around and after all that work the stupid code wouldn't work the way I wanted it to. I revised my strategy and am going to try it again using javasript for the beginning instead of php. I just have to get some free time to try again.
Stupid Fry's. I went by there the other day to pick up an item I saw on their website for super cheap but when I got there they informed me that that was the online only price. What's the point of having a website if you don't advertise the price of items in the store? I took my business to Best Buy instead. I paid a little more for the item but it was still cheaper than the in-store price at Fry's.
