You know, when you think of New Year's Eve, what do you think of? Lemme help ya. I see people at a party watching the ball drop with Dick Clark on TV (although he's still in his coma.. whoever's on..), champagne flowing, silly hats galore, and lots of fun and delirious noise.

Now let me tell you how my New Year's Eve is going to be spent.

Asleep.

That's right, I have nothing to do. I'd like to go out and party it up but the truth is, everyone's already out of town and I hadn't planned anything. Grr. So yeah, 2005 is gonna come in with a whimper for me. Let's hope the rest of the year isn't as boring.

On another note, Binuchacha went to Best Buy today with me to get an iPod for me as a gift. VERRRY excited. We got one, I get home and plug it in to get it started and---- blank.

The Apple logo just sits there blinking at me.

After an hour with Apple on the phone, they tell me that it's best to go ahead and exchange it. So off I go to Best Buy to exchange it. And..... oh that's right, the last one has been sold. Wonderful. I go to Office Max but for some reason they only have office supplies. (duh) I call Radio Shack and go, "Hey do you have iPods? The 20GB model?"
"Yes we do," a man cheerfully replies.
"Wonderful." -v
"It's actually the iPod+HP." -radioshack
[ I ask him the difference and he tells me. Anyway..]
"Great, how many do you have in stock?"-v
"Zero."
WTF?! If he had none then what was the point of saying, "Yes we do,"?!! Totally retarded. Pissed me off. So yeah that's where I am. Without an iPod, irate at a RadioShack salesman (he has the nerve to say that he'll call me when he gets it.. I decline), and doing jack-taco for New Year's.

Whoopee.

Alright, I've run into a problem. Basically I spent all of today getting the My Portfolio section up, and that was all fine and dandy. Before I get to the problem, here's something---

Doing the pages for the portfolio section and the pictures magically don't appear. I look at the code and everything looks good. No clue what's wrong. Here's what it was..

http://vinoj.com/myportfolio/
album.php?Folder=Audra

was ACTUALLY supposed to be

http://vinoj.com/myportfolio/
album.php?folder=Audra

If you can't spot the difference, here it is. The F in folder wasn't supposed to be capitalized. So yeah, I got an error. Frikkin programming and its syntax. Sheesh.

Now back to the main problem.. this may sound sheepish but.. All I have now are rather lame pictures which I don't think would be all that interesting, so I'm left with just leaving the page alone for a little while. I've run out of things to put on the site! No people, this is serious! This means all I'd put on here are posts. Man oh man, what is this world coming to.....

WHEW!

Alright all of the pictures are now converted over to the new design, and I'm glad. I've added captions to everything but the DSP party, because there are exactly 3444659574 pictures in there and I'm too lazy to put captions on all of them.

On another note, I want to thank Tim, Matt, Dave, and Casey for their help with getting the CSS/PHP mix onto the page. I did the grunt work, but without their genius I'd be lost.

I almost cried laughing reading all of these. Good times, good times. Hey I'm making progress on the PHP figuring out thingie. I figured out how to put a caption on the pictures. Except..well.. it's only one caption that I can put in there. D'oh.

So it's been a bit, so I think it's time for another journal. Nothing much going on. I got excited over the PHP script and was going to get really into it, and then.. nothing. I just took a break. I may get into it today, and maybe not.

Added a new graphic at the bottomr for the whole 'new year' thing. Should be gone after this week though. Okay, I'm out. Ohhhhh yeah. This was definitely my most exciting blog yet.
