I have a new phone number now. I sent out an e-mail with my new number to most of you. If you didn’t get it then send me an e-mail and I’ll give it to you. If you don’t know my current e-mail address, then write me here:

newnumber.yeehaw.kodama@antichef.com

In order to prevent getting spammed to death from posting my real address on the web, I’m using this one. It will self-destruct after 20 e-mails are received, so don’t write this one down as my regular address.

I just paid off my Discover Card and damn did it feel good. They’ve had me bent over for years. I’m going to call them tomorrow (when my payment actually posts) and ask them if they can lower my interest rate. More likely than not, they will say that they can’t, just like they’ve said the other times I’ve asked them. If for some reason they say that they will lower it, I will say, “I need a lower rate than that.” This will continue until they say to me, “I’m sorry sir; I cannot give you a lower interest rate than that.” At this point I will say, “Then close my account please.” And yes, I’m going to ask them for a lower rate just to be a dick. I have no intention of keeping that card.

If all this were a C++ program, it would look something like this:

account.payOff();
string answer = "yes";
while (answer == "yes")
{
   answer = askQuestion("Can I have a lower rate?");
}
account.close();
creditCard.chopUp();
cout << "pwn3d!" << endl;


Sorry about the code but I couldn’t help it. All I could think of while writing that first paragraph was a while loop. Deal.

Bush won.
Ron lost.

Both of these things really suck.
The first one really, really sucks.

Sorry there hasn’t been a post in a while, I’ve been busy. I’ve spent most of my free time this past week redoing Aasma’s site (skurt.com). If you go there to look at it and you think that nothing has changed, then good. That was the point. I was just upgrading her blogging software to a newer version. The problem was that in order to upgrade her software and make use of the new features, a lot of changes had to be made to her pages. I figured it would just be easier to rewrite them all rather than trying to make all the little changes all over the place. The purpose was to take advantage of a feature that forces commenters to register and wait to be approved before their first comment shows up on the site. After they are approved, they can comment normally without any further approvals. This prevents spammers and annoying asshats from leaving comments. This is a really cool feature and I wish WordPress would hurry up and implement it. But oh well.
My mom has put a new face on her site too. Check it out.
All of this work with sites lately has made me like web design a little bit more. I started thinking about maybe looking into it more and then I realized I shouldn’t be designing sites. If I were to design a site for somebody, then they would end up with an ugly piece of crap like my site (I know it’s not pretty but I still like the way mine looks). So then I thought to myself, I’m only good at implementing a design, not actually making a design. Fine by me… if I wanted to be creative I would have gotten a degree in creation… or something.
