It’s been a very busy month (or two) and a lot has happened both at work and in my personal life. But rather than bother explaining all the boring details, I thought I’d just spew it all in a jumbled-mess of a blog post. Sounds fun right??? :P

• I saw this today and totally agree.
• I leave for California in 4 weeks!
• I have an obsession with Recursion/Tree-structures and Regular-expressions.
• I bought a car - it’s real nice and real black, which makes it really cool…
• One-liners work in Mootools, but not really in SQL (P.S. This code doesn’t actually work the way it was intended to):SELECT IF( name REGEXP ‘^Copy.+$’, REPLACE(REPLACE( name, ‘Copy ‘, CONCAT(’Copy’, ‘ ‘, (REPLACE( name, ‘Copy ‘, ” ) +1) , ”)), REPLACE( name, ‘Copy ‘, ” ) +0, ”), CONCAT( ‘Copy ‘, name )) AS name, tpid FROM mos_ssdir_sector
• This is one of the coolest designs I’ve seen in an while.
• I have cut down my 3 cokes a day to 1 Mountain Dew a day - which I would like to add DOES NOT contain ANY caffeine (I’m looking at you Eliza). :)
• I want this.
• Programming Excel (or Spreadsheet for all those fellow Open Office users) is pretty ugly:=CONCATENATE(UPPER(MID(A2 

  ;SEARCH(” “; A2)+2;1)); LOWER(MID(A2;SEARCH(” “; A2)+3;LEN(A2))))

• I took the support-form off the Order Posts site - it was getting relentless. :S
• I am working on a set of PHP design tools, me thinks you might find them useful…
• Clients will annoy you 24 hours a day when they think you’re working for free. Just something we learnt recently.
• All my friends are buying macs and I haven’t even been preachin to them??? What’s up with that?
• Nandos is starting to take up a large portion of my food-group pyramid.
• I think I’ve forgotten how to design. Which begs the question: Could I ever design to begin with???
• Wavorly and High Flight Society are my two new favourite bands.
• Firebug 1.0 is very buggy and is really starting to annoy me. It even forced me to use Opera for a week - which was a surprisingly pleasant experience. While I’m on the topic of browsers; Every web developer should now have a copy of Safari for windows.
• From now on, I will do whatever I can to avoid the GNU/GPL license - it is of the devil.
• One of the coolest flash applications I’ve seen in a long time; flash-based blogs are the new black.
• I hate driving new cars in busy parking lots.
• I’ll be glad when all of this iPhone hype has been and gone. 5 months ago I was excited about its release, now I’m just mediocre about it… I understand now why Apple normally keep things under such tight wraps until they launch.
• Building a calendar in PHP/MySQL/JavaScript is a lot more difficult than you think it might be.
• 16Gig of space is not sufficient for the Design Assets of a Web Development company. Sys-admin’s: You’ve be warned!
• The Transformers movie had a story line like swiss-cheese and a couple of bad acting/casting issues, but it was still the best movie I’ve seen this year and I loved every second of it!

And that’s a wrap!
