The sordid past

Wednesday, June 18, 2003

(no, not mine)
Would you believe me if I told you that there’s a “Bosom Buddies” homepage that somebody apparently spent a lot of time building?
OK. Now what if I told you that there were a whole bunch of “Bosom Buddies” fan websites? You’d probably call me a liar or something, right?

Kissability

Wednesday, June 18, 2003

I bought the new Radiohead today: Hail to the Thief, Special Edition. I have no idea what the difference is from the “regular” edition, because the tracks seem to be the same; maybe it’s that strange poster folded up like a map?
Anyway, it’s like this: when I first heard “Creep”, I couldn’t get that guitar [...]

Heading up to Brooklyn for the next two days. Email will probably be flaky, but the phone works.
No “Cremaster” this time either. What was I thinking?

It is some solace to read the business section and see that some people had a worse week than I.
Back to square one, I guess.

Bug fixes, DC, Katz, etc.

Tuesday, June 10, 2003

Dartblogs Fixes
So, let’s see: fixed one bug in the recent entries display (it now orders by date instead of by post_id, which was just a stupid mistake), wrote a fix for another corner-case bug in the sign-up process (nobody hit it yet, but might as well get rid of it anyway) that I’ll add soon, [...]
