Rebirth of the Blog
Adam Scheinberg, September 30, 2005
I took the code for ft_blog and used it as the base for the next version of Flip, which we all know by now, is not actually going to be called "Flip." However, I've done A LOT with it. In fact, it's kind of a new app. It uses templates all over the place, and it's so much smarter. The URLs are really pretty (although unlike ft_blog, they do require .php at the end, because I can't be assured that adding DefaultType application/x-httpd-php is going to work everywhere).
I also have a nice framework and plans to support multiple databases. I am aiming for MySQL and flatfiles, then SQLite and PostgreSQL secondarily. I am definitely going to put together a pre-release of some sort for October. Whether it's tagged alpha, beta, RC, or even CTP remains to be seen.
First I need a name.
Extras.

Goddamn that show Extras, with Ricky Gervais, is funny. I was laughing my ass off. That and Family Guy kill me. I watch too much TV, I know this.
But damn, was that funny or what?! Ricky Gervais is a comic genius, his face has so much emotion, it's just fantastic. I could not stop laughing at that damn agent. Here's a basic recap:
Andy Millman: What's happening with my script? Darren Lamb: What script? Andy Millman: [rolls eyes] The script I gave you two months ago. Darren Lamb: Is it funny? Andy Millman: You haven't read it? Darren Lamb: What's it called? Andy Millman: "When the Whistle Blows". Darren Lamb: [writing] "When the W Blows". Andy Millman: Don't just write "W" you'll forget what the W stands for. Darren Lamb: "When the Wind Blows". Andy Millman: "Whistle"! Darren Lamb: Got it. [writing] Darren Lamb: "W" equals "Wind". Andy Millman: "Whistle"! Darren Lamb: [writing] "When the Whistle Blows". Andy Millman: So that's done, I can forget about that, I've got my best man on it. Just make sure the phone's plugged in.

Gates & Napoleon
Adam Scheinberg, September 16, 2005
Man - have you seen the video of Bill Gates and Napoleon Dynamite from PDC 2005? It's friggin hiliarious. It puts those Matrix videos to shame. Seriously, I was just dying when he said he had some ideas for Microsoft Bob.
Ahhhhhh.... I'm a nerd.

Have you seen this? Yes, it's a bug that eats a fish's tongue and then BECOMES the new tongue. Well.... I thought I had seen some wacky shit before, but I was clearly very very wrong.
TIRED
Adam Scheinberg, September 15, 2005
I was so tired last night I could barely keep my eyes open. I went to Dixie Crossroads with JP for her friend Matt's birthday, it was in Titusville about an hour away. On the way back we went to her office, and I literally fell alseep standing up at a counter. That's a first for me.
I'm also writing a new RSS Aggregator, based on components of magpieRSS. Very cool.

I got my Ultra 20. I haven't set it up yet, but I'm excited for it - it's got a nice powerful Opteron in it, and it's a very nice looking machine. Very sleek.
Found this great pic of JP and me at Vinod's wedding. Good stuff.
