I've kind of been saving up journal entries for a while now, so I'll dump them here now:
First: MBASE SUCKS
Second: UPS is being stupid about requiring a signature on a package again. It sucks that I can't get packages at work, and UPS refuses to leave the package even when given explicit phone instructions to do so. So now I have to drive downtown tonight at 7:30 to pick up my case of D&D Miniatures that is worth less than the Amazon.com dropoff they left on my doorstep earlier today. Huzzah for them. I need to specify in my E-Bay account "DO NOT SEND UPS, ONLY US-POSTAL MAIL"
Third: Google mail is pretty sweet, i'm extoling the virtues of it to everyone I get a chance to. I should have guessed it would happen, but my dad leapt right in to the privacy question, and was a bit leery of sending me e-mail, because he thought it would be broadcast over the web through Google's search engine.
Fourth: Recent Netflix were on average good. "Mr Show was entertaining, though I"m loosing my taste for sketch comedy in general. I can't point to any one aspect of it that annoys me, though perhaps it is the "over the top" shock/gross out factor that so many sketch comedy shows try for. I think it's just that my tastes are changing. Windtalkers was not bad, though the battle sequences got to be a bit much sometimes. The real Gem of the last batch was "Brassed Off" with Pete Postlethwaite. It interestingly shared a lot with the "Rodger and Me" that I had rented a few months earlier, but I thought it was a little more successful at it.
Fifth: MBASE still sucks.
Sixth: Java Servlets are kind of cool, though there's still a fairly clear advantage for the rapid-development time of ColdFusion. Of course, if our IT department wasn't paralyzed by bad management, we'd be able to use both, but such is life.
Seventh: MBASE still sucks.
