Imagined dream chat to Colleen

1:51pm JST Wednesday 6 May 2009 (day 14287)

While chatting with Colleen:

"And then 25 years later, I was almost 40 and we were doing this thing called 'chat' on something
called Facebook that's part of this huge network of 'computers' which are like machines that seem
smart but actually don't have brains and so anyway, there was a thing called an image, well actually
two, and these images included images inside them of like a moment in time that was from *before*
the moment during which the chat was taking place, and you were cleaning your 'teeth' with this
little hand held device with some friends, and then when I wrote a 'comment' on the image using my
own connection to the network of 'computers,' there was an error, and the comment was erased and
then I knew I was dreaming and I woke up."

Internet Day

1:23am JST Thursday 7 May 2009 (day 14288)

Basically been online all day, spending a lot of time signing up for various things, of those I found today, Badoo seems the most interesting. For making images online, Aviary looks pretty cool.

Most of the other sites I found were basically undifferentiable, and/or too wordy in explaining all their wonderful features.

Chatted with Colleenie Beanie for a while, and then Skyped her for a bit over an hour until she was zonkingly ready for sleepytime. Regarding Ami, Colleen provided the same analysis as I had already determined, but with one added bonus bit I hadn't previously heard. When a woman asks impossible-to-answer questions, tell her it's an impossible to answer question, and not answer until it's rephrased as an answerable question.

And in other news, I recently fixed the DB problem that killed ctbriefs, so now CTbriefs.nET is working again. I even added a URL detector so URLs can be hyperlinked.

Pink Cowness

12:19am JST Friday 8 May 2009 (day 14289)

Went to The Pink Cow at 2:45pm for my 3pm meeting with Traci. She hadn't written it down, though, so I chilled in Da Cow preparing for the meeting we had planned. We met for a bit around 5pm; she gave me a burrito, and then Soness and Bob rolled in for their own burrito, and to make sure Bob met Traci! Wow!! Great to see them, and then chatted with peeps from Pink Cow Connection meeting, and talked with Andrew Shuttleworth for a while about JMW, and him not being able to commit to joining that as well. He gave some good ideas for poken promotions, including for a Pink Cow event on Sunday the 11th.

Tom and Vicki (Traci's parents) were there chillin', so I happily joined them and got some lovely ice cream and pie! woooo!! And then just as Soness was leaving, Vicki was all, "yeah we're thinking about going to Kamakura tomorrow," and Soness goes, "well, you should have Rob go with you to show you around, and then you can come sleep at my house that night!" She drew maps and stuff and we got the basic schedule outlined. Wow! The next day they wanna go to Hakone, which is vaguely in the same area, so I'll show them on Saturday how to get there, and then head back to Tachikawa on Saturday day for UER meeting from 3pm to 7pm, and then home to chill.

Met a man named Jason from Good People, who offered the idea of me coming to one of his events to give my cards and some sample massages to people in the place. Could be great!
