posting via WAP

April 08, 2002 by Eric Richardson

So I spent a bit of tonight trying to make it so that I can post here via my cell phone and WAP. I really don't know if this will be any use to me, but for some reason I really think I'll be unhappy with myself if I lack it. I'm not sure why that is, or whether that's a good thing. I guess it would be cool to have a log for stripped-down wireless posts. We'll see what happens. This is all thanks to eThreads 2.0 and the ability to run multiple looks per glomule.

Rodney Branigan - Nothing Better to Do

April 07, 2002 by Eric Richardson

Rodney Branigan is amazing. Rodney Branigan plays two guitars at once. Not holds two, and plays one, but plays two guitars at once. May 1 Rodney will be at The Cat Club on the Sunset Strip. I hope to be there.

and in other news

So I've been pretty flaky updating lately. Usually this means I'm too lazy to think of stuff to type here. That's pretty pathetic when you think about it. Anyway...

- Red Elvises were great on Friday, as always.

- Last week my v3682 died, and Tuesday I finally got around to filing the insurance claim, etc. Cingular replaced it with a Motorola v60g, which rocks. Motorola finally made a cool UI. This is the phone to make Motorola competitive with Ericsson and Nokia on the UI front.

Intershop GAR

April 01, 2002 by Eric Richardson

Have I ever mentioned that I hate Intershop? I really do. For instance, right now I'm trying to set a currency based on the customer's country in a credit card data template. Simple enough of a request, but Intershop decides to make this hard. First of all, customer country isn't one of the variables they decide to define in this template. And in Intershop's favorite model -- everything's customizable except what you want to change -- these are hard-coded. Ok, no big deal, I'll look up the country based on order number. No. The order number isn't a normal TLE (variable), it's a piece of loop data, which means I have to keep count of loop positions and do a GetTLELoopData. Woo hoo! Stupid Intershop. Intershop must die.
