random ramblings of a crazed nerd

So the morning has produced a continuation of a job from the other day, so probably wrap up a second hour there on Monday, $150 for two hours isn’t too shabby, not a big bag of money - so there’s that - still not entirely sure what I am going to do about other situations, I let it stew in my brain last night, and I know I want to be easy on ‘half’ of the issue, I know how it is to be at the end of your rope with things, but I also know that’s no excuse to take advantage of someone, so definitely need to talk out that, but the second half of the issue really just needs to be slapped, no getting around that.

I have a slew of projects going into the weekend, EE, RM, HP, TB - 2 of those are personal - but the other two are paid jobs, and one keeps expanding a little here and there, I may need to throw another $200 in to it’s costs, but I hope to get some work on it before this evening and really have a working prototype of displaying both views of the core app, because once that’s done the main haul of the project left is to finish up the bits, and make a workable administration interface for them to manage things - so some work to do there, and the migration for the other was a big “wanna!!!” for me, it posed a fun challenge of migrating data into Wordpress that didn’t really have any desire to fit in, and required some fancy foot-work to import things like oh I don’t know, ratings into Wordpress, but so far in the base testing, it works - but some more mucking around to do, then its a fresh WP install, clean import, and we go from there!

My cell has really just plain started to suck. I dunno, the Dash has some nice features, and allows me to do some fun things, but more and more it just can’t keep up the pace, it’s Mobile IE keeps trying to be helpful and “Web Friendly”ize things, which yes - is helpful for about 1 out of 5 sites, but with more sites using Ajax and such, it’s just lacking and then some, not to mention to scroll without a touch screen and just the silly little d-pad, far to long to get somewhere. I tried to use it to check my bank’s hours last night as I was held up at the pharmacy, and it can’t even half way render WAMU.com bleh - I’d give the iPhone a try, but between my lack of money, and the hooplah of being SOL on the unit if I moved it to T-Mobile (Cingular/AT&T and I don’t get along) - but in unlocking it, I get 0 warranty. Bleh. So who knows, but I need something, and I want it like my Treo to have SSH, WM pushes Remote Desktop not console SSH, it’s a nice phone the Dash, but honestly as time has gone on, I find myself wanting to go get a Treo680.

Anywhoo - that’s my brain this morning, a busy day ahead, thinking of going and snagging a sandwich from Ceasers so I don’t have to run out for lunch later since I don’t seem to ever have all elements to making something to eat lol - but I may just settle for Subway just over the tracks, so time will tell. If anyone wants to get me a iPhone to see how it works for me, please feel free I won’t mind a bit, but if anyone has any other Smartphone suggestions for good app expandability, good wireless connectivity (ie Bluetooth), lemme know. Happy Friday Folks.
