Yay. Came home to power.

Flash hail is ridiculous and amusing. I love a good storm. Kind of wish it didn’t take out the power, though.

Great. Back from the office and power is still out on my block.
Jun 25th
Let me rephrase. Powerless and extremely hot. And according to PECO’s automated line they don’t even know why the power is out yet. Ugh.

I’m about 40% sure my apartment is haunted. (and rising!) This is odd/significant because I don’t believe in that malarkey.

Partial layouts can’t yield parameters? Boo. Could write a helper… that means remembering how concat wrapped around form_for works. Gross.

Clearly my old naive approach of tokenizing a string and LIKE’ing each word against a ton of columns won’t work forever. Sigh.

The distance from 0 to 1 and 99 to 100 is always much larger than the distance from 1 to 99.

I need an adhesive that’s water resistant, sticks to tile and metal, and doesn’t drip. Suggestions? #lazyweb

Every time I read re: AMQP I can’t decide if it sounds useful or gross. Maybe I don’t understand or I don’t have the right problems for it.

Hrmph. Going from Rails 2.2.2 to 2.3.8 was surprisingly more annoying than I anticipated.
