Entries this day: Lottery Lunch

Lottery

9:53am Thursday 24 May 2001

Welp, the lottery java applet has ended. I resized the window, and Netscape refreshed the page, and all the numbers disappeared. I had matched 5 out of 6 sixty-nine times. Yesterday I had been playing for 45 thousand years; I'm sure it was at 50 thousand by today. I shall start the applet again today with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Lunch

2:40pm Thursday 24 May 2001

Wende brought quesadilla from Big Pink for lunch today. We chilled and talked in the conference room, gazing out the window, watching traffic.

I *might* have determined a solution to my robnugen.com journal -vs- livejournal.com journal. It's well documented that one can write a CGI script to read entries from livejournal; I might be able to write a script that will seamlessly incorporate my livejournal entries over on my robnugen.com site. I haven't done any beta testing, but I know it's possible to some degree. What I don't know is if I can also poll livejournal for the *date* of the entry so that I can sort them with my dated entries. I think that should be pretty simple... we'll just see.

Minh, Dave and I each started 2 different versions of the lottery applet. On the first one we chose our own numbers. On the second, we all used the same set of 6 numbers. The person who wins 6 of 6 first, or who keeps their browser up longest gets a quarter from the other two players. Four quarters total will be transferred because there are two distinct games.

I got stuck working on webAF today; this is a new tool that should hopefully make development of some applications ridiculously faster. I sent an email describing my stuckness to technical support; we'll see how quickly I can get it going again.

Until then, I will continue working on the G3 Administration website.
