Early work

12:17pm JST Saturday 28 November 2009 (day 14493)

Got a good start on my first page on the front end of the website. These are way way way easier than the back end. Not reading any data from the users so nothing to validate; just grab an id (okay we have to validate an id, big whoop, I can do that with my eyes closed):

typing this with my eyes closde.  Really:

$id = intval($_GET]'id']);
if(is_numeric($id)
{
    // process that id
}
else
{
    // bad id
}

Ah, one mistake: the fisrt line should be $id = intval($_GET['id']); but that's just cause I was nervous about mistyping weird characters with my eyes closde.

Oh one more mistake: should be two close parenthesis on the next line.

Okay, so maybe I can't validate ids with my eyes closed, but they sure are easier than validating HTML input, date input, phone number input, etc etc etc across multiple input pages eeek!

Mid day yoga

2:25pm JST Saturday 28 November 2009 (day 14493)

Left the office at noon for yoga at 12:45pm with my yoga teacher Paola, and my English student Emiko, who's my co-yoganator in yoga. Class was stretchy and painful at times, but hopefully making me stronger and limberer.

Work late

12:29am JST Sunday 29 November 2009 (day 14494)

Finished off the one page on which I had gotten a good start before yoga, and completed another page just now on the train. I had everything except the previous and next links set up. Now all I have to do is save my files when I get to an internozzle and see how well I did. Hopefully zero errors cause I had my eyes open while doing it. :-)

Okay, and now I've just set up templates to hopefully finish all the rest of the pages tomorrow.. I hope!!

In any case, we're bringing sleeping bags tomorrow for an overnight camping programming extravaganza. What fun!! I love camping!

continued, thanksgiving

This morning around 6:30am, I heard Shivani and Charlie quietly talking, discussing what time he would have to be out the door to get his train. Then there was some commotion at the door as drunken Jojo talkatively tried to help Ace take off his boots. I got up and quietly (though ungently) shushhhed her, and she was like, "We ARE trying to be quiet!!" even louder than before. I shushed her again and realized I might have been better with some other technique, but I don't have much experience dealing with drunk peeps. She came in and was like, "where are we going to sleep?" cause the floor was pretty covered with bodies, and Shivani was like, "he's about to leave soon," and offered the blanket area where Charlie had been, but Jojo wasn't listening and gently crumpled into a pile near the door after saying, "I'll just sleep here in the cold," and fell asleep. Shivani put Charlie's blanket on her. (one of the blankets that Jesse gave me back when he moved out of Michael's apartment)

When I woke up about 30 minutes later, I didn't see Charlie nor Shivani, and Ace was snuggled behind Jojo in a human blanket type way. He sat up and shook my hand and I suggested they sleep where Charlie had been. Once I got back from adhering my contacts, they had moved to the blanket. I waved bye to Jen who happened to look up as I was leaving and I left.
