Sparkly

July 8, 2006

sillygwailo: I wonder what's worse: writer's block or having too much to write about?
countablyinfinite: the former is worse
countablyinfinite: the world is sparkly when it's the latter
sillygwailo: yeah :)

London Never Really Did Get the Hang of Thursdays

July 21, 2005

Richard: *hug*
Richard: can you pass that on to all of London for me?
Suw: hey
Suw: i'll do my best
Richard: thanks
Suw: you're welcome. and thank you too.
Suw: *hugs back*
Richard: London never really did get the hang of Thursdays, did it?
Suw: not really, no

Luckily in the photos for this one, it's just of people standing around around. That is, this time, no ideal photos for the fear mongers.

That's Something Else

June 9, 2004

Just to show you how much I know about dieting trends, I offer this chatlog:

sillygwailo: the Atkins Approved shirt might be the best one
sillygwailo: because Atkins is insanely popular
sillygwailo: although I haven't heard any women talk about it
CtrlAltbz: it's absolutely huge around here
CtrlAltbz: everyone does it
sillygwailo: do any women do it?
CtrlAltbz: every woman around here seems to be doing that or south beach
sillygwailo: what's south beach?
sillygwailo: is that where they shave their area?
CtrlAltbz: haha
sillygwailo: oh, no, that's something else hehe

Compensating

April 2, 2004

sillygwailo: I'm seriously considering buying a 17-inch monitor tomorrow.
sillygwailo: because I can afford to.
sillygwailo: and because the one I have now is 15-inches and four years old and flickering
idlyadam: ouch. you've been using a 15" monitor?
sillygwailo: I know.
sillygwailo: I even had a girl tell me my monitor was small.
sillygwailo: :-(
idlyadam: Dude.
idlyadam: I'm using a 19" *and* a 17" right now.
idlyadam: They tell me I'm compensating.
sillygwailo: well my penis is still bigger than yours.
idlyadam: that's what they tell me

A Whole New Meaning

February 19, 2004

sillygwailo: advice for changing a tire: "Prior to jacking up the vehicle, put a 2x4, large rock, a brick or cheating boyfriend's head, whatever is handy, in front of one of the front wheels and in back of a rear wheel that is going to stay on the ground. This will keep the car from rolling away."
sillygwailo: from a serious article on car repair
chunshek: "cheating boyfriend's head"?
chunshek: !!!
chunshek: *gulp*
chunshek: That gives a whole new meaning to "I have a crush on you."
sillygwailo: zing!

Resolutely

February 11, 2004

Little bit on the nerdy side, but that's okay. I was a bit on the nerdy side this fine early morning.

sillygwailo: man, pico has to stop being the way I code PHP
idlyadam: yeah... emacs all the way.
sillygwailo: too much saving, loading in the web browser, oh look, another parse error, going down to about line 108, finding out it's line 86....
sillygwailo: oh well, I'll code this way, then buy Zend Studio or something, and reminisce about the days when I did it all by hand in a Unix text editor
idlyadam: hehe
sillygwailo: better to cut my teeth this way
sillygwailo: or something.
sillygwailo scrolls to about line 78...
sillygwailo: of course there's a library for what I'm trying to do
sillygwailo: but do I care?
sillygwailo: NoooOOOOooo.
idlyadam: of course, if you used emacs you could just do m-x goto-line <ret> 78
sillygwailo: bah
sillygwailo: none of that for me
sillygwailo: plus that would be of no use when the error is quote-unquote on the last line of the file
sillygwailo: since the error could be anywhere
sillygwailo: luckily it's usually where the cursor is, because that's where I last inserted a bug
idlyadam: usually
idlyadam: you might check out EditPlus...
idlyadam: it allows you to use FTP to edit remote files...
idlyadam: not very secure, but effective nonetheless.
sillygwailo: hmm.
sillygwailo: nah. I must resolutely use a shell account
sillygwailo: FTP is counter-revolutionary

On Dead Horses

January 6, 2004

Adam and I were discussing a long yet tightly-argued weblog entry he wrote, and he wanted me to read the final draft, but I said I had to go to bed. As we were signing off, we had this to say:

sillygwailo: you have a couple of days before the issue becomes a dead horse anyway.
idlyadam: Yeah... but I don't want to be the one to kill it.
sillygwailo: well, at least you wouldn't be the one beating it.

May I See Your Boobies?

January 1, 2004

idlyadam: I'm working on a new post now: "Welcome to 2004, may I see your feed?"
sillygwailo: I'm working on a new post now: "Welcome to 2004, may I see your boobies?"
idlyadam: lol
idlyadam: sounds like a much better post. :-)

The best case scenario, of course, is if you periodically show your boobies on your weblog, and it has a syndicated feed.

Sucka

December 14, 2003

idlyadam: ack. I didn't know that hitting escape closed the window. :)
sillygwailo: bahaha sucka
sillygwailo: oh wait, you log conversations though don't you?
idlyadam: yup
sillygwailo: hmm.
sillygwailo: you're still a sucka.
sillygwailo: just less so.
