Me: Yeah!
Me: It’s why Jesus had a six pack.
Katt: uhhhhh no he didn’t
Me: Oh, dag. That makes Christianity less appealing than I thought.
Katt: don’t even think about buddhism. that guy ain’t in shape at all
Katt: but at least he’s cool with it
Me: For a guy who’s all “life is suffering” he doesn’t look like he’s suffering too badly at all!

Later:

Katt: whoa!

'The bubbles collapse, and generate heat, light, and sound. The shell shatters with a flash too-fast-to-see, and a bang. Watch the flash (called shrimpoluminescence for another species) in the video, slowed by a factor of 900.'

Cory Doctorow overrates this kind of mantis shrimp!

I started writing a multi-service status updating app a while ago, in large part just to learn Flex. I haven’t worked on it since January, but I’m officially putting attneveryone (and 13 tasks on my to do list) to bed today.

It’s at the point at which it suits my needs, and further development is unlikely to help out anyone else. (They can just use ping.fm, which covers every possible service, although it requires you to give up a lot of credentials, and I have a personal aversion to that.) This last version is also pretty solid. I’ve been using it for three months without any problems. (On Windows, though, there’s an issue with ugly scroll bars showing up the first time you add an account.)

It feels good to free up just a bit of “mental obligation real estate.” Now I can build some other crap on it!

In lieu of actually writing something, here’s some conversations I had earlier in the day, with accompanying cheap Photoshoppery.
 

Conversation #1:

Me: Maybe we should go to the Public Garden this weekend! I hear there’s ducks.

Katt: like the one what got stolen?

Me: Yes! It was found, though.

Katt: whoa! high five!

Me: I didn’t find it, but yeah! I’ll take a five!

Katt: ooh, that’d be extra great if you did find it

Me: I’d hold it up over my head! Doo-doo-do-dooo!

Me: “You found a lost duck!”

Katt: link, coming to save the duck!

Me: Zelda: Lost Ducks.

Katt: The Legend of Duck

Me: I’d play it.

Katt: me too

 
Actually, I think that’s enough for today. I need to go to bed.
