Not much going on. Loads and loads of laundry are languishing in the basement. Just spent an hour or so hanging out with a few friends at the hottub house (don't ask).
Off for dinner with Brian. Sushi at the boat place again! Yum.

Today is the Millenium March in Washington D.C. Lots of controversy surrounding the event, I guess. Strangely, I feel pretty distant from it. Other than wanting to see the Pet Shop Boys, I didn't have much of an interest in going. I can't wait to hear some of the stories from friends who went though.
Another beautiful day! Unfortunately, I'm spending it just slightly hung over and paying bills. I think I like clubbing better!
Last night was fun fun fun. Unfortunately, the best details won't be posted here. Suffice to say that Jason and I were very, very busy. And I collapsed into bed at about 5am this morning. Yum.

So, how do people organize all their digital photos? I'm not doing a very good job of filing the ones I want to keep. Any suggestions or good websites on the topic? Drop me a line.
Ow. Ow. Ow.
Spent the day at San Gregorio beach, south of San Francisco. A beautiful day. We relaxed in the sun and had a great time. But I'm a little sunburned now. I'm hoping I don't get too much redder!
Took some pictures at the beach. I'll pick a few and put them up here shortly....

Well, I have the shell of my White Party pages together. I just need to get the content finished!
From the I-Bet-You-Didn't-Know-That-Department
"RETURN" is not the same as "return" in JavaScript.
I knew that too, but I just spent the last hour trying to debug a function where that was the sole error. Arrgh.

Not much to report today. Working on getting some White Party words and images up for your viewing enjoyment. Got to get the pictures developed soon. The weekend looks to be pretty mellow, I think. Lots of people are out of town for the March on Washington.
I think the Beach will be in order, since it's supposed to be nice.

How cool that jOnnO is writing and posting again (and on Blogger, no less). I thought he had given it up for lent, or something.
Mmmm. Love warm chocolate chip cookies from Specialty Bakery.
Yesterday the work connection was very flakey, so not much reading or writing happening.
Today I feel great. Went to the gym last night. Jason and I stopped at the boat-sushi place on Church. Decent food, and sorta fun in a Japanese-Automat kind of way.
A few small tasks to do at work. Maybe I'll work on the site a bit. Whoohoo. Gearing up for a relaxing weekend. Hopefully we'll get to go to the beach.

Home. Things are wierd. More later.
Off to dinner (tapas at Picaro) with Brian, who is here visiting from London. Fun fun fun.
I'm trying to figure out the whole stats management thing. Dreamhost provides some basic stats info on their site. But it summarizes a lot of the entries, and I don't think I'm getting to see search URLs, etc. I was using Hitbox for awhile, but I don't really like the extra graphic they throw on your site. Anyone have ideas? Using the raw logs seems a bit cumbersome.
It's noon, and I haven't done an ounce of work today. Still slow on the job. Wrote a long email about the White Party to a friend. I think I'll probably cut and paste that into a post here somewhere.
My mind is still spinning about the weekend. A lot of things to talk and write about. Curiously, I'm more energized today about SF, my job, the gym, than I have been in a long time. Yesterday, Jason and I were ready to give up on the City and move back to Phoenix. We still might. But right now, I'm ready to give it more time.

We're back, in one piece. More or less.
The parties were absolutely amazing. Incredible production, lights, music, boys. Very, very fun. I'm glad I went.
It was also great to see all my Phoenix friends again.
That's all for now. Pictures, more posts, and maybe a little commentary to follow. Right now my mind is spinning and my body is telling me to sleep. So I guess I will.

This is my weekend farewell post. We're leaving for the airport in a little while to fly to Burbank, then drive to Palm Springs. Whoohoo! I can't wait. This is gonna be a fun weekend!
So, see you Monday! Happy Hop Hop!

Whoops. Just got "permalinks" working. The little arrow thingy to the right there is the link URL widget. Darn those anchor tags.
I wanna be an information architect when I grow up.
OK, so with the recent changes to continuity.nu, some links may have broken, etc. If you wanna link to me, please use http://www.continuity.nu. Thanks.
Whoohoo! I've moved beyond the tilde, as Derek said this morning. Continuity.nu is now a real live functioning domain hosted by Dreamhost. Cool!

Today was stern talking-to day at work. Apparently my little job posting got back to the powers that be, as I thought it probably would, and everyone is a bit concerned that I may leave.
The upside is that I got a lot of positive feedback from my manager and the GM of the center. Looks like they may have some projects for me. And it looks as if the company will be making some fun changes soon. I'm going to stick around for awhile. But I'd already decided that, mostly.

I'm undecided about deepleap. I'd really like to use it (since all the really cool kids are), but it's really slow on my work PC. And I rather like the current system I've worked out for myself.
I've put a lot of deepleap-like functionality + bookmarks on my own pages. I dunno. Maybe on the next release?

Back to real work today. No more conference. There is the strong possibilty that I may get shipped off to NYC soon. I don't think that would be all bad, actually. As you know if you've been reading this space regularly, there isn't a lot of real work to do at the office currently. Kinda boring.
So, New York. Every time I think about Manhattan, I hear the Pet Shop Boys. It's just wrong.

Flashback from 1988:
Hmmmmm.
"If hypertext really becomes available, especially in the fancy versions now being talked about—where words, sounds, video, computer graphics, simulations, and more are all available at the touch of the screen—well, it is hard to imagine anyone capable of preparing the material. It will take teams of people. I predict that there will be much experimentation, and much failure, before the dimensions of this new technology are fully explored and understood."—Donald Norman, The Design of Everyday Things
Hmmmmm.
I feel 98% better today. Amazing what a little sleep, among other things, will do for you.
Off to the final day of UI2000. Today we're learning to design with the mind in mind. Whatever that means.
I've decided that, despite the fact that I'm somewhat unhappy with the work situation, I'm going to stick it out for about six months or so. I'm going to try to use this time to brush up my web design and programming skills. I'll see where that takes me.

Um. Cute redesign. But, Vanessa, those images are all copyrighted. Bill Watterson never released, sold, or licensed any copyrights for Calvin and Hobbes.
So, I really can't write much today without getting myself into trouble. But, suffice to say that today was a day of thinking and some decisions.
This weekend is the White Party. Jason and I will be leaving on Friday to head to Palm Springs. After the weekend is over, assuming that we are still standing, I want to come back home and make some changes. Things need to calm down a little bit, and some priorities need to be established.
Jason and I have talked about buying this house. It's very nice, and I love living here. But we haven't been making any progress toward a down payment. And our financial situation is not such that we can simply sign a mortgage without a lot of planning and thought. So the house goes up on the priority list. Along with lots of other things.
Like work, and friends. And family.
So there. Wish us luck.

Irk. No posts today.
Spent most of the day at a conference in Burlingame. For some reason, I thought the conference was going to be in downtown SF. When I re-read the conference materials this morning, I paniced and had to rush around to get there on time. I love it when I don't pay attention.
Lots of thinking today. About kinda serious stuff. I'm not sure I'll say anything about it here, though.... Maybe.

Back from the gym. I needed a little alone time today...some time to work on myself, if you know what I mean. Going to the gym is a (very) small contribution to what seems to be an overwhelming task.
Jason is crashed on the bed. I'm not sure if he's going out with me.... It might be a solo evening. Who knows?

Posted a few pics from the party last night. I didn't get many on the digital camera. I have a few more from regular cameras we used....whenever they get developed!
Ugh. Probably need more sleep. Jason is crashed out on the couch. I have no idea what time he got home. Need coffee.
Exhausted: Physically, Mentally, Emotionally.
The party went off quite well. Not quite as many people as we had planned. A little rocky at the beginning when people start to filter in. I've proven once again that I way over estimate the amount of food required. We'll be eating guacamole and carrot cake for weeks now.
Jason went out dancing for awhile. I want to, but I simply can't bring myself to go. I'm a little rough around the edges right now, and already feeling a little sick. I hope I don't get really sick right before the White Party. Aack.
Oh, to those who joined us this evening...thank you. It was a very enjoyable evening for us. I hope you had a good time.
(Some pics will be posted tomorrow. Right now, I'm beat.)

Zoom zoom zoom. I'm racing around trying to get ready for the party. Surprisingly, it's going better than I expected. I always stress over the food prep, and it usually goes by without a problem.
Gotta run out and get the cake, and a few other last minute items. Then it's clean clean clean the house. My favorite!

"Keep going keep going, coffee, cookie, go back go back."
...is unfortunately my whole day, sometimes. But cookies can be refreshing. And coffee. Lots of coffee. Thanks Bryan. Good work.

Back home from a birthday dinner for Jason at Black Cat. It was good. I tried foie gras for the first time, and had some stellar oysters and absolutely amazing calamari.
Now, typically, we're trying to get the house in order for tomorrow. Normal people would go to bed.

Ahem. Tim has a link to me off of his site. In the clever mouseover it says "John goes clubbing more than any man on Earth."
Which is just not true. I guess.
(Check out his site. He's darn cute.)

Not much to report today. Taxes due. Leaving work to go shopping for Jason. (Don't tell him.) I have no earthly idea what to get for him. Tonight we're going to dinner at the Black Cat, which should be good, hopefully.
And so it goes.

Wow. I got little bookmarklet applets all over the place. First Blogger, now deepleap.
This is the best part of the web. A bunch of talented people doing things that are fun...just because they are cool. Oh, and that startup/IPO thing. Yeah, that.

Posted a few pictures from Flagging in the Park a two weeks ago. I think they turned out okay. Any comments?

This was a fairly bleak day for posts. I'll blame it on Blogger being down. Right now I'm feeling sort of grumpy, and not really sure why.
Jason's birthday is tomorrow. He's excited. He spent a lot of time shopping today for the party. I went to the grocery store and stocked up. I'm going to be a cooking fiend on Saturday. I can see where my day will be spent.
I sorta feel like going out for a little while tonight. Maybe I will.

Yay! Brig is back. (Okay, this is old news.... I stopped checking her site because I thought she was gone for a month or something.)
"Ordinary people took leave of their senses in Emeryville yesterday, in the name of particle board and Swedish meatballs." Can I just say that I'm so excited about Ikea opening? As if I didn't have anything else to spend money on.
(I know...I know...)
(I know...I know...)
Thursday. Hooray, hooray. Meeting this afternoon with a prospective company. Cool.
The party is looming, and I'm woefully unprepared. Eeeeek.

Time for bed. I did manage to go to they gym, finally. I'm not sure what I'm doing up at 2am, though. Nothing constructive.
So, added the ol' webloggers webring to my site. I'm becoming a junky for traffic. It's a slippery slope.
Wednesday, April 12, 2000
How cool is this? My gym just got Netpulse bikes. You know, the kind that lets you watch TV or surf the Internet. So, yes, I'm blogging from a bike. I must be sick.
Hmmm. My traffic, such as it is, has jumped quite a bit today. Methinks I got linked somewhere. Hehe.
I can lose an hour, or an afternoon, so easily online. There's so much to read and find.
I guess we're in a full fledged correction. Hopefully everyone won't get so discouraged by the stock market that they give up on technology. I still feel like we're just at the beginning of a long, long ride. It feels awful that this is good news.
Laptop
There is a fellow outside my office using a old portable, manual typewriter to write letters, or his novel, or something that looks important. Whatever it is, he's quite intent on what he's doing. The act of writing with a machine like that seems somehow more real than poking around digital ink on a glass screen.
But I've nearly forgotten how to write with pen and paper.

Why is it, when I have real work to do, I always find something more interesting to do....
Not happy with the stuff I've actually managed to cram into my schedule lately. I need to go to the gym. I need to deal with the house a bit more. I've been focusing my time online. Not necessarily bad, but not great either.

This has been on my mind a lot lately, especially after the pain I went through just to make my little site viewable. I can't imaging what commercial web developers must go through.
I suspect I may learn soon, though.

Phew. Okay, I've updated most of the site to look sorta okay in Navigator and MSIE (and even Opera for good measure). What a pain in the ass.
Considering that the whole exercise should be completely unnecessary (if all web browsers were compliant), it's quite a waste of time.

I'm realizing that my site looks awful in Navigator. I'm trying to work on it... But the differences are pretty frustrating. My CSS & tables go completely to hell. Good grief.
Cool phone interview this morning with an email marketing company. They seem pretty cool, and the job sounds interesting. We'll see.
Monday, April 10, 2000
Yay! I love it when I can teach myself something new. Reprogrammed the P.O.V. bar to be a little more dynamic. I should be able to add and delete pics easily now. Coolness.
Now if I can just figure out a way to make myself remember all this stuff.
Now if I can just figure out a way to make myself remember all this stuff.
The connection to the Internet from my office is ridiculous. I get "Page Not Found" errors more often than not. After having a fast connection at home, this is interminable. Grrrrrr.
Some interesting Suck reading on website usability. I haven't read this yet, but it talks about the new Netscape 6 release, which is supposed to be ugly, I guess. (I'm not sure I need beta software on my PC now....)
Today is errand/phone day. Lots to do to get ready for the party on Saturday.
I need to learn more about Muni. Today, the Glen Park BART station was closed because of a fire. Since this is really the only way I know to get to work, I was a little stuck. I asked Jason to drive me to a Muni station so I could get into downtown.
So, of course, all the inbound subway cars were packed. I ended up taking the F, which was still packed. Oh well.

This weblog is turning into more of a journal than a real weblog with links. Probably not terribly interesting to anyone reading.... but I'm quite enjoying it.
Just got back from a great dinner at Niel's house. He's one of those hosts who can throw together a casual dinner for twenty without even breaking a sweat.
I, on the other hand, have a party to put together for next week, and I'm going crazy. I always manage to pull it together, but I'm going to be a wreck this week, I can tell.
Jason went out to Pleasuredome for a little dancing. I can't blame him. I'd be there as well if I didn't have to be coherent tomorrow morning. Gads.

Trip to Homo Depot, then Beverages & More (stocking up for the party), then finishing up painting the bathroom. I think we're going to try to go to the beach now. Jason's got the motorcycle reving up....

<RANT>I just hate my former gym, the Q. They have the worst customer service of any organization I've come across recently. No easy way to interact with them at all. They are worse than those porn sites that keep dinging your card $9.95 every month and won't stop. Uh, not that it's ever happened to me, but you know what I mean.....(nevermind)</RANT>
Well, doesn't that just suck. I got linux installed and running on my machine. Very cool. However (and I probably should have read about this before installing), I don't have a real modem, and my DSL connection isn't supported yet. So, the penguin but no connection anywhere. Rats.
Cool. Put together a little photo bar for the main page. Now I just need to keep it stocked with photos.... I'd love to write a little script to make it a little easier to load. I guess I'll try figure out something.
Friday, April 07, 2000
Whoops. I just realized that my new design looks kinda like glassdog. I didn't mean too. Honest. Sheesh.
Jason is being a busy bee. Getting the bathroom ready to paint. I finally finished up my corporate taxes. Ugh. Never own a business. Or at least get a good accountant. I can afford neither, really.
Well, part of the new site up and running. More to work on this weekend. I'm not happy with the personal bio pages. Maybe I'll redo those completely. We'll see. Time to go home!!!!
Not much to write today. In a (previously unscheduled) training class this morning. I don't mind being flexible, but I'd like some advance warning sometimes. Sheesh!
I'm still on the fence about what to do this weekend. Jason and I have some house things that need to be done. And I'm not even close to being in the mood to go dancing. If we go out at all, I'm thinking it will be of the SOMA variety.
Working on the site design. I think I have a pretty nice one together. Kinda monochromatic, but a little more visually interesting than the current design. Hopefully I can roll it out to the link list and/or weblog this afternoon.

Kinda cool. I love my new camera.... Now I need to figure out a cool way to incorporate pics into the site. As if anyone is really looking.
Arrgh. I love online banking, but sometimes the security problems just irk me. I get a timeout error, then the site says I'm already logged in.... What a pain.
Digital camera is now fully functional, mostly! Yay!
I just have to figure out how to get all the pieces playing together nicely. One of my USB ports doesn't seem to want to cooperate, and I can't figure out how to turn it back on. So, I can't have the camera and my Zip drive plugged in at the same time. Arrgh.

Again with the food!
There is a woman in my office who has food on her desk. Not just a candy dish or a few cookies, but a goddamn produce rack on the edge of her desk. Fresh fruit, almonds, chocolates, etc. etc. etc. I'm trying to be strong, but whenever I walk by, I seem to leave with a handful ofcrap stuff. So much for the diet.

Good God, it's Wednesday.
Last night went by in a blur. I slept for 12 hours. I hope that catches me up on sleep. I desparately need to make it to the gym tonight. I'm starting to feel like a slob, and the White Party is just around the corner!

Blah blah. This is really absurd. Another day of window-sitting at TIS Worldwide. I brought my corporate taxes to work on, but I don't seem to have the appropriate information to complete them at the moment. Perhaps tonight after the gym.

Dinner out with Brian, walking in the Castro, conversation, a stop at Walgreen's, a new CD. Train home, email, bed.
Enough. Love, John
Enough. Love, John
Updated the ol' resume and re-posted my info on dice.com. It's time to make a change, I think.
Brian and I had a good conversation about the way my life has been going lately. I think the sort of frenetic pace we've been keeping on the weekends has a lot to do with the fact that both Jason and I aren't terribly challenged in our jobs right now. We are comfortable, but not really finding the sort of career or professional challenges that keep you sharp. So, time to work on that for me.

It is far, far too early on a Monday. And after Mass as well. Yikes.

Fading fast tonite. Brian and I ended up having dinner at China Court, then walking through the Castro for a bit. Both of us were winding down. The movie was quickly abandoned in favor of Ben & Jerry's. Much better.
Jason is off having drinks with straight friends. I hope he doesn't stay out late. I'm sort of in a mood to nest a little tonite....or at least as much as we can!
Tomorrow is a sleep in morning.... Then we have a bit of a schedule in the afternoon leading up to Mass. I've been looking forward to Mass...well, since last month....Mass is always a good party. At this very moment, however, I'm finding it hard to be excited about anything. Not enough energy!!!
Sleep will change that. Zzzzzzzz.

Tomorrow is a sleep in morning.... Then we have a bit of a schedule in the afternoon leading up to Mass. I've been looking forward to Mass...well, since last month....Mass is always a good party. At this very moment, however, I'm finding it hard to be excited about anything. Not enough energy!!!
Sleep will change that. Zzzzzzzz.
Wow! Back from the beach. What a perfect day. The weather was clear, slightly breezy. It was sunny without being too hot. Man, this is why I love California.
Although, this won't last, I'm sure.
Had a great time at the beach, just zoning out on the sand and watching the cute boys. Although the initial plan was to go to San Gregorio beach, we ditched that because time ran short and went to Baker Beach, a bit closer to the city. We ended up in a bit of a crowd, and they were entirely too chatty at first. We were in a space where we just kinda wanted to enjoy the sun and surf, without any distractions. But, whatever...the crowd quieted down and we did have a good time. I'm sweaty and I'm sure I'll be a bit pinkish when all the sun sets in.
So, no dancing for me tonite. Brian and I are gonna have dinner and a movie. Perfecto. Neither of us have seen American Beauty....gotta see what all the fuss was about, and enjoy another (hopefully) fine performance by Kevin Spacey.
Oh, and moving wasn't too bad. There were about six of us dashing around like madmen throwing stuff into the moving van. It went fairly smoothly, considering.

Lots of foolishness—on the web and off.
We're helping a friend move today for a couple of hours, then ditching them and heading to the beach. Whoohoo. Can't wait. The weather is supposed to be perfect, and I'm going to fry myself to a crisp....
