White Castle Run

We’re out on our White Castle run.

Update: Well, it’s 12 hours later and I think we all survived. I thought we were going to lose Brandon after his 17th Burger. I’ve got to give him credit. I told him that if he ate 20 before the movie finished I would pay for his share. He tried his hardest but I’m happy that he didn’t get all the way to 20. I would’ve missed him. There were 36 left over burgers out of the 100 that we bought. Not bad for 5 people. My brother is having left over white castles now. They’ve been in my trunk all night and he’s not even heating them up. I can’t really handle that.

None of Us is As Dumb As All of Us

Steve got me a thinkgeek gift certificate for christmas. I’m most likely going to pick up this photon light thing. But, I’m still not sure what I else I want to get. I would really like to get this poster, but I don’t think I actually have the balls to put it up at work.

Speaking of work, I’ve been tasked with rewriting the part of our product which actually does the content filtering (that is to say it keeps kids away from porn). For many reasons this is pretty exciting. One of the main reasons it’s so exciting is that it’s going to be written in C. I don’t get to write in C all that often, and it always has its own set of ups and downs. Plus, this piece of software is like the cream of the crop over here. I mean, the whole product is based around this one piece. Most everything else basically configures it and puts a nice GUI around it. I’ve decided to base it on glib as well. This should make my life a whole lot easier and make the lives of many future developers easier as well. Using glib should also make it easier to use DBus if we decide to go down that road. Right now we’re just using sockets to get data from one place to another, and it would probably be beneficial to wrap that all up nice with DBus. It’ll also be nice to not be writing a web GUI for a little while. It gets kind of tiring when everyone wants everything to be just a little different. I won’t have to worry about any of that during this project. I’m sure it’ll go well. I’ll take a day or two to get knee-deep in C and then I’ll be on my way.

I got a new pair of sneakers. They fucking kick ass. They’re asics onitsuka tiger something-or-others. I love it that they’re called ‘onitsukas’ because it sounds like ‘on it sucka’. I’m such a fool. I told everyone at work that they’re made for playing office bocce.

Oh, and I stopped biting my nails. I don’t really know why, I just noticed that my nails were kind of long one day.

Alright, I’ve decided to go with these 2 t-shirts [1] [2] from thinkgeek. I’ll have to thank Steve the next time I see him.
