There are several goals I have relating to this online journal. One of them is to get people to read it, even if just a little bit here and there. I hope to post links to some good stuff on the web, and short little posts about my experiences. If I don’t find it interesting, you probably won’t, so I won’t post it. (like its really hot out, I sweat a lot, or I played frisbee again today) Those things should be kept to one’s self. But, things other people might find funny, interesting, or good to know, I will post. For example, people might want to know that the burito’s at Qdoba are good, right?

Ok, I lied. Maybe I will post a few personal things that aren’t that interesting, but only once, and I’ll try to keep it short.

After a month of development, the project Chris and I have been working on is almost ready for public viewing. Yey! More details to come. Maybe I’ll even give you the link if you ask nicely.

Went to Qdoba today with the other intern, Chris. The chicken burito was better than Big Ten Burito. Qudos… (get it? It’s spelled like Qdoba…. ok, nm, Im just weird)

So, I had this problem with Firefox. It was really weird. When I tried to visit a secure site, it would pop up a thing saying that SSL was disabled… but it WASN’T as far as I could tell from the options box and all available menus.

I tried reinstalling it, but apparently it kept my settings.

To fix it I created a new profile and used that by running “firefox.exe -profilemanager” in the Start->Run window thingy.

Grr… that was annoying to have to use IE without my precious tabs and such. I’m glad that’s over.

Found this page accidently, and found it interesting. It has a very positive outlook on PHP’s future. A quote:

“PHP is very powerful and is designed such that it can replace awk, sed, UNIX shell, perl, “C”, C++ and Java.”

PHP HOW-TO: General purpose programming with PHP

I believe it! I’m using it now, and I love it, even if php4 doesn’t have all the OO features yet, it does have classes and basic methods, member variables, constructors, and inheritance.

Here’s a link to My DVD Collection along with the link to dvdX which is a DVD exchange program for students at UofM.

Here’s an interesting web page which displays post cards sent in by annymous secret spillers.

Shakespeare in the Arb sounds like a cool little adventure. Aparently you go and watch a Midsummer Night’s Dream while walking around the arb. I’m thinking they walk to another location when the change scene… maybe. Anyway… I’m going to find out.

UPDATE:
So, Beth and I went there today (June 5th), but we were a tad late… and they were “sold out”. Even though there weren’t seats or anything, I guess they can only fit so many in some of the areas of the arb. So… lesson here is to go early to buy your tickets. They open at 5:30 and shows start at 6:30.

UPDATE 2:
Click on Shakespeare if you REALLY want to read the play:

UPDATE 3:
So, we went again, and this time we got in. It was pretty good. I think it ended on Sunday, so you might have to wait until next year to see it. It will probably be a different Shakespear. play.
