State of My Life Address
- Work is fun and busy. Two days ago I got the questions to be
asked in a new survey (Part II of the Ritz survey), and yesterday I
recognized that I needed to account for a new possibility in
displaying the survey. Previously we had questions whose answers
would determine which questions to skip on a different page. Now we
have a question that needs to skip the entire page. It took me about
6 hours realtime (not Rob CPU time) to determine a solution.
Today I need to create logic to display a new question type.
Hopefully that will take a lot less than 6 hours.
- My "injury" thing on my chin is back. I made an appointment
with a dermatologist, but the appointment is not until 4 December, by
which time the injury will be gone. Basically I *barely* nicked my
chin with a razor and it slowly gets big and infected and then heals
itself. We've put neosporin on it with no effect. This time we are
puttin Tea Tree Oil on it. I haven't noticed any effect.
- Wende and I have been fighting about what to do with the money
she has invested in a money market account. I want to move the money
to Jason's brokerage so we can make trades with it very easily and so
I have super close contact with what happens to the account.
As I write this I realize that I just want super close access to
the account right now, and I might lose interest later (no pun
intended). So maybe we should just go with one of the "Plans" Merrill
Lynch has and stay with them.
I just want to buy into the market now because all everything is
down due to various factors. I believe it will all rally again once
the presidency is decided and the new year begins.

Wow. I finished the Ritz II survey today. So awesome. I had to
create a new question type which allows essentially a set of questions
to have a two dimensional set of answers. Very awesome. It allows
for each question to have up to 10 x 10 array of answers. It's weird
and cool. nevermind.
So anyway it's done and I'm super impressed with it. This is a
survey created in 3 days instead of the usual 2 weeks.
Yay!!
Wende and I are going to see Stacy and Rodderick tonight. See ya!

Oh!!
I'm a lot closer on the days old counter. It now stores cookies to
remember what date someone wants to use. It doesn't properly delete
the cookies though.
