Coolest Computer ever!!!!
Image stolen from here where you can find even more cool images of this fully functional 1988 Macintosh. I must build one, only better and faster.

And I forgot. Behold my tasty dynamic titles. I have a series of quotes that are randomly chosen from, and a cookie to the first person to correctly identify the subject of said quotes.
::: posted by Scott at 10:58 PMWent to see 'Igby Goes Down' last night. It had some good parts, but overall a disappointment. Although I think it would do well with the 'Catcher in the Rye' crowd.
I just responded to that person who emailed me about my match.com profile. I am pretty sure I sound like a raving lunatic, but it's out there and I am pretty much well and truly fucked now. She's a cutie tho, if I am to believe her photo on the web. Hey, if it's on the web, it must be true (sqwauk).
::: posted by Scott at 10:43 PMSo last night I was lamenting to my beer, or rather my many beers, that it has been approximatly 30 months since I had anything resembling a date ( actually, 30 months on November 1st. Yes, I'm positive and know how fully pathetic it is that I know this ). 30 months is a long time. It's 2 and a half years. Ponder that for a while. The last time I was on a date, I was 27 years old. It was before I moved out to Arizona.
Anyway, I drank myself to sleep late into the night. I got up this afternoon, took a shower and checked my email. Someone responded to my Match.com profile. I put that up over a year ago. I can't remember looking at it last. So now I am trying to come up with a reply email and all I can come up with is something along the lines of 'um.. Hi'.
Reasons why PHP can blow me:
1) register_global=Off. This should still register session globals into the local scope. You can cheat this by simply using the following code:
foreach ( array_keys( $_SESSION ) as $key ) {
$$key =& $_SESSION[$key];
}
The '&' is important, so you if you change the local variable it will be reflected in the _SESSION array.
2) I am the only person alive who can poison it's stack/heap/whatever. I get these wonderful errors like ' Failed opening required 'debtgroup.clacs.php' on like xxx, while on line xxx it is spelled debtgroup.class.php.
3) The lack of private variables and methods in it's object system. That's as retarded as perl allowing access to the symbol table.
Ok, I'm done.

::: posted by Scott at 11:45 PMHave you ever cut yourself, I mean not on accident? Drawn the sharp blade across your skin and watched the blood bubble out? Have you ever done that?
::: posted by Scott at 02:40 AMI would like to propose a toast to all the special 'F' words...
Friends
Family
Fate
Forgiveness
and Forever...
that's from My First Mister. I just had to watch it a second time. It's that good, honestly.
::: posted by Scott at 01:43 AMI just finished watching My First Mister, and I highly recommend it. It's so funny and touching and bittersweet. If you have ever felt unloved or lonely, then this movie is for you.
::: posted by Scott at 11:56 PMWell, that last post left a little to be desired, didn't it. I guess a bit of explanation is in order here.
In case you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a drama queen. I was notified of this by an ex-coworker, who has since moved off to california to do whatever people do there when they get fed up with the mid-west. I'm not one to criticise though. I'm close enough to the left coast, and for the longest time I had myself convinced that I moved out here for love, when it was really just drama. And by now I have rejected or neglected every friend who gave a shit, so I am left alone with my drama. I can see now that it gets old pretty fast.
With no drama of my own, and no one around with drama I can immerse myself in, I spend an awful lot of time alone, drinking and trying to concoct some drama to keep me occupied. But that is getting tiresome, because if no one is around to experience your drama with you, is it really drama, or just delusion.
sidenote: I have just noticed that I can construct a pretty long rambling sentence.
Now that I have noticed this sidenote, I seem to have lost the track that I was on. More later, maybe.
