  • Now I’ve got form-elements for editing scalar values (except for binary objects) right inside the table-renderer. I can modify all my directives right there. The todo list is growing, though. I’m going to need to be aple to edit things inside tables whose names start with the # character. I also need to be able to edit outlines…
  • I’m domain surfing again. Yeesch! This is addictive!
  • News from work: I’ve got a table-renderer I’m working on that acts like a filesystem browser (with many exceptions). It’s going to be my interface to the Macworld website, and it’s going to allow me to do many of the things that ETP does, but in a heirarchical, and object-oriented fashion.
  • As a side-note, does Userland realize how much Frontier functionality they are obscuring by placing Manila stories, homepages and DG messages in one flat database with no field extensibility?

  • I’m watching Apocalypse Now on DVD. I haven’t seen it since the first time it aired on cable (over 15 years ago), and I’m sure my take on it at 30 will be verry different than at 14.
  • Bet you didn’t know that I marched (carried) on Washington against the Vietnam war before I was one year old. (On the film: Charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500)
  • Quotes from Apocalypse Now:

    Someday this war’s gonna end. That’d be just fine with the boys on the boat. Trouble is I’d been back there, and I knew it just didn’t exist anymore.

    The war was being run by a bunch of 4-star clowns, who were gonna end up giving the whole circus away.

    We’re not supposed to be in Cambodia, but that’s classified.

    This bridge, we build it every night, Charlie blows it up again, just so the Generals can say the road’s open.

    I used to think if I died in an evil place, my soul wouldn’t be able to make it up to Heaven, but now- fuck- I don’t care where it is as long as it ain’t here.

    You’re an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.

    The man is clear in his mind, but he’s insane in his soul.

  • Sally’s Art broke the 10,000 hit mark today. See the Top 100 list on editthispage.com.
  • We’re on our way to a party at my friend Brad’s house. Their upstaris neighbors are in on it, so there will be two levels, DJs, and imbibeables. He expected a hundred people or more. Jeff Cheney will be there too. Update: I got there (very late) at 12:30, and ran into a frined from my former employer, but I didn’t see Jeff anywhere, Though I know he was. Oh Well. I’ll see him on Monday.
  • The appartment is in desarray again. Sally and I just moved a whole bunch of stuff from Healdsburg: Kitchen set, microwave, desk, and blankets. How much stuff can we fit in this little place?
