Yup, last two weekends wasted thanks to work. Isn’t it awesome?Two weekends ago, new version of the site goes out to the world. No biggie, just conference calls and all that, and an emergency call Saturday morning. Nothing too bad though, no late nights. Still killed a Friday, which is a pretty severe offence if you ask me. You just can’t take that from people =PManaged to see Kill Bill 2 finally. Much better than the first one I thought. A bit more focus in this one, and a bit less pointless gore. Don’t get me wrong, the first one was decently cool. But there’s a point when that one extra dead dude doesn’t really do much more than the other 10 dudes on the ground. Guess it got the point of one pissed off bitch across though.Saw the trailer for the US release of Hero while at the Kill Bill 2 showing. About damn time that came over to the mainstream audience. That movie was #1 in 2002 in China and kicked total ass. Its just gonna make some more $$, and thats totally worth it for a well made piece like this. If you haven’t seen/heard about it, you will soon.This last weekend was spent supporting another major deployment. Basically, the site major companies (Boeing, Detroit Edison, etc etc) have been using to purchase their large and profitable orders hasn’t been updated in nearly 5 years. This was the update, using the framework I helped write. A 5 year beast of an application doesn’t go down without a fight, and this was no exception. Fortunately I didn’t catch the majority of the issues, that’ll be next month on the next site refresh =PStarted playing Hitman 3 heavily. I forgot how much fun it is to be an assassin. Far Cry is on the back burner for the time being, especially since it actually gives my video card a good run for its money. Hot damn thats impressive. But it definitely looks nice =)Been thinking about revamping the weblog code….its kinda ugly in some respects. Might end up waiting until PHP 5 comes out though, or if that takes too long, a decent ASP.NET host shows up. As a result of coding it for nearly two years, I’ve become damn proficient at C# based code. At least its C based, and not VB based….Texas is starting to get warm. 90s during the day, high 70s at night. Damn my electric bill is gonna start creeping up some. Hopefully I won’t be crippled this whole damn summer….just gotta avoid those pesky rocks.Got bored last night and priced out an Acura RSX Type S. God damn that car is cheaper now than when I was actually shopping for a car. Its a pretty fucking sweet ride too. Too bad, not having a car payment is nicer for the time being. Speaking of that, Honda has been spamming the hell out of me about the new 2004 Accord Coupes. Granted, they’re nice, but geez, they need to chill the fuck out. I paid off that car ASAP for a reason, and it wasn’t to go out and get a new one. Besides, I’d totally go for the RSX Type S over the Accord given current prices ^_^ Holy shit that thing would haul some ass.Hopefully won’t be on call this weekend (another major launch), but knowing my luck and since I worked on the framework….
