    So this client wants this site done by thu. the design was completed friday and finished to be HTMLd today. Now in these days they're keeping asking for changes here in there, they're not sure about this and that and bla bla bla. Their approval process is like, one PR person talks to us then signs off the designs so we can start building while she sends over to the board (because is the board that approves everything) so that the designs can come back with more amends just when we're done building.

    • Tell them GFY. but do it politely.canuck
    • If the agency was mine i'd do that. But since it is not i have just to shut up.Fariska
    • In the future try to have set milestones for every step in the process, which includes review...
      ********
    • ... and the potential for time estimates, and dates that come after to change as a result.
      ********
    • We usually do this way. Fact is this is a temp website to gather opinions. It's pretty a small thing. the big one would be the site after that.Fariska
    • ... site after this one. And then we will handle (and stop) them with care.Fariska

    I was out on a shoot today operating the clapper board and bits and bobs as I am a bit quiet with edits at the moment and it was nice to be out of the office to be honest, I'm eating my lunch at home just now, some nice vogels bread and cheese nummy nummy nom noms. Although I have eaten quite a bit :/. I think my kitty likes it when I come home for my lunch I think it breaks up her day quite nicely between trips to her shitter and wee chomps and drinks from her bowls, sometimes I feel quilty for leaving her some days I dinae give a shit.

    At the end of December 2007, approximately 938,000 unclaimed balances, worth some $320 million, were on the Bank's books. Over 86% of these were under $500, representing 19% of the total value outstanding. The oldest balance dates back to 1900.

    I moved over more than 300 Contacts from my old piece of shit mobile I've been clinging to - to my Outlook Contacts in preparation for a future move to either a BlackBerry (w/ Sprint) or iPhone (w/ AT&T).

    Currently I have Sprint ... have honestly never been happy with their service ever, but I have had a phone with them since high school. Their rates and shit are trash, especially when I found out after looking at my bill that Mobile-to-Mobile on Sprint only meant in talking minutes, and not text messages to other people on the Sprint network. Yikes, haha.

    Ugh. Basically I just want a plan that is roughly 120 a month tops that has unlimited data transfer (including text messaging...) and then I guess the only thing left would be a good phone. I have people on AT&T and Sprint that would make having either okay for the mobile-to-mobile phone minutes.

    I think I really want an iPhone, but I don't want to look like a fanboy really. I mean, I use Microsoft everything to be honest, hell I've worked with Microsoft in the past, haha. But the iPhone upgrade last week did enable them to connect to Microsoft Exchange Server for e-mail ... so really there is no reason to not change?

    Basically I just fucking hate making decisions.

    Or I hate making decisions that basically have no bearing on anything. Like, "Where do you want to eat?". I never ever care. And I guess I really don't care about this either.

    I just want someone to tell me what to do so I don't have to fucking debate this in my head anymore. And basically the debate is how much less of a loser will I look with a BlackBerry versus an iPhone.

    Either way I think I'm going to look like a tool, but the fact I've made it this far without a PDA to me is mind boggling; and either now would greatly enhance my ability to do work outside the office which is where I spend most of my time.

    Finding WiFi and carrying my laptop around all the time has been pissing me off lately. Especially when it's all hot out.

    ... Hrm, should probably hit clear on this one, haha.

    • This may sound stupid too, but AT&T has a mirror phone. I'd like to get two phones on my plan.
      ********
    • So when I'm out getting drunk I can have a phone that is basically a throwaway w/o clients on it.
      ********
    • do you want the iphone so you can play music? or just to play with it? might get old after awhile, i'd say get a nice palm or something7point34
    • ... and play with yourself HEY OH!!!7point34
    • seriously just get whatever the fuck you think would be fun. you don't strike me as someone who gives 2 shits7point34
    • ... what people think of you. who cares if they think you're a fan boy? hell, i already do, poser7point34
    • hahaha damn it you're not helping! Hrm, well I don't have an MP3 player I guess - dinnae think of that.

    ominously, the sea gulls seems to have been replaced by their antimatter counterparts, the crows. in other news, my yearly nemesis, Randlefly, has returned

    I was bus-rubbed/hit many times today. Some guy (he was kind of cute, I suppose) kept bending down to push his bag and ended up brushing up against me whenever he had to move to the back of the bus. Another guy was standing sideways and had his backpack on. It was getting shoved into my face, and I had to move forward a bit. By the time that occurred, my stop finally came, so that was good. I bet some people thought I bailed because I kept getting hit, heh.

    I noticed something about the Batman commercials lately. In advertisements, at least on radio commercials, they are promoting it as, "starring Heath Ledger".

    Hmm...intentional, disgusting, and not that surprising.

    • though his is easily the break-out and star performance of the film7point34
    • Sure. I thought he was great in Brokeback Mountain but obviously many refuse to watch it.Jaline
    • Yea, but didn't everyone see that coming? I mean Best Buy put out makeshift tables with all of his work.
      ********
    • Anyway, the point is that they never mentioned Christian Bale or any of the other prominent actors.Jaline
    • Like hours after his death or whatever. It's not Nolan I'd bet my life, but Marketing people are Marketing people ... heh.

    • Yea, which is ridiculous, because he was fucking awesome in the first one and is going to be awesome again.

    • yup, flava, "not that surprising" :)

    This image really bothered me way back in this thread. I think mainly because it was from JeffBridges.com, and it boggled my mind as to why he would be writing something down and having someone scan it in - or use a handwritten type font to make an image like this.

    To the point like ... I never tried it, but the fact that, "and there's nothing you can do about it."

    Well guess what.

    I can fucking do it.

    I can fucking do it, Jeff Bridges you fucking asshole.

    Actually he's not an asshole and I think he's awesome, haha. But I fucking hate statements like that above.

    I fucking hate them.

    So I can do it. Granted I should probably thank Sr. Annina and Mary Thomas for forcing me to write with my right-hand in grade school as a result.

    Reason being is that I write most of my words upside down with my right hand as a result of being a true left hander, haha.

    So yea ... fuck off!

    I CAN HAS ROTATION WITH MY RIGHT LEG IN CLOCKWISE MOTION WHILE WRITING AN IMAGINARY NUMBER 6 IN THE AIR WITH MY RIGHT HAND!!!

      It bothers me when my parents claim that left-handed people are more inclined to be ambidextrous and smarter in
      Jaline
    • ambidextrous and smarter in general. They're probably right about the ambi thing, but they say it in a condescending way. I think it's becauseJaline
    • I think it's because my mom likes my brother a lot, and he's left-handed. Plus, in Hinduism, if you are left-handedJaline
    • they make you use your right hand anyway. Using your left hand is supposed to be bad. I disagree.Jaline
    • So she feels sorry for him in that respect, but also likes him more than the girls, in general, hahaJaline
    • (I think left-handed people are adorable. The way the ink smudges all over the place and how they hold a pen...)Jaline
    • left-handedness is a birthdefect. southpaws have a shorter average lifespan.7point34
    • It's also weird to me how they play sports. Like tennis...Jaline
    • (sorry, my lesser right-handed brain is attempting to grasp how a lefty can play certain sports...)Jaline
    • hahaha, mothers love their boys more, and fathers love their daughters more.

    • It's actually a benefit because I can do most things moderately well with both hands in sports.

    • Like I can shoot basketball with my left or right hand. As a child it was more like a parlour trick on the playground or school.
      ********
    • I think I remember hearing/ reading about it. It's because the world is made for right handers, so the possibility ...
      ********
    • ... of a horrendous accident for a left hander during the life as a result is minuscule but higher than right handers.

    I was just thinking about this song:

    "Ho, Ho, Sideline Ho, Youse a ho, youse a ho, sideline ho

    [Verse 1:]
    When you called his phone, did he pick it up
    Noooooooooo, cause we was makin love.
    Did you meet his moms have you met his kids noo ooh o did you know my kid is his
    Noo ooh o.

    [Chorus:]
    Get your shit togehter youre makin a foolof yourself, it don't matter if he spends the night his home is
    somewhere else Ain't you tired of being on the side line, tired of getting yours after i gets mine baby
    second place don't get a prize when you gone relize you wasting your time baby ain't you tired of him
    leaving you broken whip and he rolling and ain't you tired of when you need a little change and he lie
    about what he holdin, ain't you tired of spending all the holidays alone, tired of being his little
    sideline ho"

    How hilarious would it be being a backup singer?

    "Ho, Ho, Sideline Ho, Youse a ho, youse a ho, sideline ho"

    All pretty-like.
