programming my_rbj

Thursday, 31st March 2005

I worked pretty much until 3am last night working out a couple of different problems with the "my RBJ" page on Rice Bowl Journals. And what I came up with was something similar to what can be found on Friendster and Flickr. Well, something found in quite a few online communities nowadays, so I am just trying to keep RBJ up-to-date. Basically, you can view your "friends" (people who you are "mutually linked to" on RBJ) and "admirers" (people who've linked to you but you haven't linked to them... yet). So, below is the page when the groups are in condensed mode:

And here is what it looks like when you expand one of the groups, in this case the "friends" group:

One other option I need to code next is to be able to "expand" all groups, being that the code currently allows only one group expanded at a time. It's always good to give the user more options. Actually, the possible options are endless, but we take it one at a time.

i can't make you love me

Tuesday, 29th March 2005

omg... I was working on the computer just now when I heard this song on American Idol coming from the television around the corner. It was Constantine, one of the contestants! He sang a rendition of I Can't Make You Love Me which was originally performed by Bonnie Raitt. Man, he did an awesome job, man! Very moving!

the shadow of your smile

Tuesday, 29th March 2005

Just feeling a bit melancholy right now... and currently listing to Tony Bennett's version of this song:

The shadow of your smile When you have gone Will color all my dreams And light the dawn Look into my eyes, my love, and see All the lovely things, you are, to me Our wistful little star It was far, too high A teardrop kissed your lips And so did i Now when I remember spring And all the joy that love can bring I will be remembering The shadow of your smile

You Really Don't Like Me, Do You?

Monday, 28th March 2005

i'm actually okay with this. but it's stuff like this that sometimes makes me wanna go over to the darkside... So, I've been handed some hateful comments...

whoopdeedoo you photographed a cloud! you suck.

Ah, a little criticism regarding my photographic skills and choice of subject matter? Moi? Thank you. I love compliments!

you suck. you and your â€œgigsâ€ câ€™mon man grow up. get a real job and feed your children.

And some harsh words about my chosen profession... again! You get a life @$$hÂºLÃ©! And I'm fortunate enough to be able to do this... blessed, even!

blah blah blah

Oh, run out of things to say, have we? Well I DO have something to say! I've got your ip address right here and you're with Comcast I see! And it looks like you live in the Bay Area, of all places.

67.180.208.92

Now to see what I can do with it. And thanks for the entertaining feedback. I found it quite amusing, and no, I'm not hurt by it. Just amused that someone who apparently doesn't like me would use up their precious time thinking about me, enough to leave me some rather entertaining comments. *swoons* Thank you. You've made my day!
