brad's life

been working on freevote.com and livejournal.com the last few hours... keep switching between projects and projects within those projects whenever I get bored or hit a blocking point. listenin' to DJ Quicksilver... some random stuff I found lookin' around for mp3s..... pretty good programming music.

Being Sunday, I went and checked out last week's LiveJournal stats (some stats are updated live, some nightly, and some weekly) and I was amazed to see the growth.... from the 1st week of the 2000 with 1158 journal entries to week 20 (last week) with 9729 entries.... not bad growth. Still so much to do.... it's getting to the point where it's hard to focus on one thing because I keep getting distracted and starting to work on something else. I think, "Oh, that's easy .. I'll do that real quick." But the thing is, everything's easy, but nothing's too quick. I hate turning down user suggestions because usually they're quite good, but there's got to be a priortization to it all..... maybe I need to put up a "requested livejournal features" voting booth. If somebody wants to make one (hopefully at freevote.com :-)) then let me know and I'll link it....

went and brushed my teeth. planned on going to bed but then I remembered I gave up my bed to Anil tonight (he's going back to Eugene tomorrow at 8am...) so I have the beanbag tonight... which I wouldn't mind, but our room smells like Eli's feet. As a matter of fact, it is Eli's feet.... I walked around the room sniffing and then climbed up the bunk bed right by Eli's feet and yessiree, that's the source. Need to get some of that "Kills bad odors fast" stuff Silent Bob has in Dogma. :-P To be fair though, his feet don't smell thhaaaaaaaat bad.... just a little. I just like to give him shit.

awoke and found Eli, Lenz, and Dana in the room talking..... they're off to a Mariner's game now. My elbows hurt ... they're really dry and rough ... need some lotion or something but I lost it. Programming now.

Scott's here making me stop programming LiveJournal stuff, telling me we have to do our OS project.... *sigh*

Scott left. back to LiveJournal programming. done with techno and raver music.... current music: Third Eye Blind.

went and looked out the house again.... i didn't really even go in this time, but I drove Eli and Mike. Mike hadn't seen it yet. back now and working on LiveJournal again. all these new features are really going to kick ass pretty soon here when I put out the next release.

Just got done with a long ICQ meeting about work this summer, and now a bunch of us are heading up to McMahon to discuss our house rental for next year... deciding rooms and stuff.

Finally back from our house meeting. We talked about a dozen little issues and then finally did the lottery and picked rooms. Eli got picked first, then me, Scott, Dana, Britney, Erik, Mike, Megan, Val and last Kenji. Eli picked the largest room upstairs, I picked the largest room in the basement that's all isolated from everyone, Scott picked a room in the basement, Dana and Britney went upstairs, Erik is upstairs next to Eli, Mike is down in "The Dungeon" with Scott and I, Megan gave up her room choice until last, Val took the main floor room next to the kitchen, Kenji took the smaller room upstairs (that's the color of puke, Erik says), and Megan got the last room ... the long skinny yellow room down in the Dugeon.
