The Sound Of Speed
…by the Jesus And Mary Chain. I didn’t even realize I had this.

Spent most of today beating my head against a function that’s supposed to maintain a record of recent pages visited within a simple cookie array. After 6 hours, still no progress. It’s Mark’s damned function, he can make it work. I’ve wasted too much time on it already.
Also got to play engineer for a little while today as well pondering Scott’s design for a lage (20’x25′) banner that’s supposed to hang on the side of the CIBC building downtown. Killing people with the banner is not in the mandate. My brain hurts.
Damn frosh are wandering around outside yelling stuff.
There definitely is something to be said for taking a holiday every once in a while, and just doing nothing. Statuatory holidays don’t count – half the enjoyment is knowing that you are off when everyone else is not.
It’s been brought to my attention that those guys with the 04 hardhats would not be Frosh this year – the Frosh this year would have hardhats that say 07. Versus mine which said 99 back in 94. Which basically means that :
a) my arithmetic skills suck
and
b) I am even older than I thought I was.
See that? Little segue off my He-Man rant yesterday! Clever clever.
Got a new power supply for the computer. Compared to the one I got last year that didn’t even survive 10 months, this one’s a beast. Heavy freaking duty! And the fan starts when I turn the computer on, like an obedient power supply should. We are pleased.
Happy moment of the day : saw a man walking his dog. He had a parrot on his shoulder. The parrot didn’t seem to crazy about sudden movements, but seemed content enough, regardless.
Depressing moment of the day : University of Toronto Frosh Week – passed a mob of engineers (mob being the correct English term for a group of engineers) who had ’04’ stenciled on their hardhats. Which means the frosh at Waterloo would have ’05’ on theirs. Mine said ’99’.
Damnation.
