keep pushing the limits

hint: he took a shower!!!

I’ve just finished chapter 4 of Beginning iPhone Development.  Good stuffs.

 

I was going to do some iPhone dev when I got home, but suddenly got into journaling.

1. Lin and I are married, living in Kawasaki, overlooking Tamagawa into Tokyo.  We can see Tokyo Sky Tree from our window.
2. The wind can see us pretty well through the window, given that it has a nice view of our building from over the river.
3. Lin’s mom lives with us, though is on a schedule about 4 hours earlier than ours, so we don’t get to hang out too much.
4. I’ve sorta kinda started studying Japanese with iknow.jp.  So far I’ve gotten like 65% through the first 100 words and 40% through the second 100 words
5. Tariq and I are working together on iPhone development; we have a couple of app ideas that should be interesting
6. My iPhone is a 4S; my white MacBook is the same one I’ve had for a while; I’m planning to get a new MacBook (Pro?) this summer
7. Someone very special is coming back home soon
8. Lin and I are ostensibly in week 9 or so with the Artists Way Group, but I think most people are no longer really doing the exercises.
9. We’ve got Hulu available on our TV (yes, a TV omg) and watch movies sometimes.  Probably have seen about 30 moves in two or three months
10. I’m working at sbstrm with Andrew and Sho; we’re working hard, and I’m about to finish my first year contract in May and start a new one.  We’re a small team with the sbstrm dream.
11. For about the past three weeks, I’ve been listening (on continuous repeat) to the soothing sounds of kinessence
12. The only thing I don’t like about Posterous: I can’t edit posts later and have it autoupdate all the previously posted posts.  (at least I don’t think I can)

Today at work I modified the way pickups are stored in the system.  According to the original specs, it seemed likely that we’d only need to have a comma separated list of units per user, but now they want to ensure that units are not deleted if they’ve been picked up by anyone in the system.  So instead of tokenize and scan all the results, I can just ask the DB if the unit is in the pickups_2_units table.

Then got a request from client to further split the copy to units system, which allows copying of sets of fields from the units to other units in the system.  I think I got all the changes finished but didn’t move them to the live server just before leaving; I’ll test it again and move to live server tomorrow morning.

 

Lin has been wanting to do this for a while, and I declined because I thought the phone calls would stop, but today my stalker called four (4) times between 9:19pm and 9:25pm, leaving three voice messages consisting of just slight microphone rustly noise for a totaly of about 2.5 minutes.

The police were like, “aight so what do you want?”

and it was decided that Lin will write an email in Japanese asking her to stop and desist, and one of the officers called her to report the reporting of her behavior.

My true honest hope is that we all learn from the process and that everyone benefits.

 

I rode TJ Bike to work today! It’s 14.3km according to Google maps. I took 65 minutes to ride, including taking time to look at the map + getting slightly off track even so.
