Halfway there

The title says it all: I’m halfway trough the process of getting my driver’s license. Completed the written test today and it feels great to be done with that.

Celebrated by purchasing two books by two of my favorite writers, Dostoyevsky and Hemingway, and it looks like I’ll spend most of my weekend reading. It’s been a while since I bought so many (3) during one week.

I found this lovely book (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) and instantly fell in love with the cover.

I need more good looking covers like this one, Ponto Pocket.

Jeans pt. 2

This is a semi-response to an old post, so go read that before this one if you haven’t already.

I went shopping for jeans again. I’m still not a big fan of shopping for clothes, but when you need new ones you’d be dumb not buy some.

This time around I only went to one store, the only place that worked last time, where I knew I could find jeans that would fit, even if they might not be spacious.

The lady that I spoke with specifically mentioned that there are now better jeans for men, and boy was she right:

— Houston, we have a penis.

Yes. Jeans now fit male crotches. And they were on sale too.

Realigned in HTML5

Yes, the realign will be done in HTML5 and I’m loving it.

I chose to do the realign, and any other future web projects, in HTML5 after I received a book which cleared up my confusion with some new elements.

It’s 99% finished now; I’m currently working with media queries to make it look better in smaller browsers.

Stay tuned.

Semi-graduation & Party

I semi-graduated yesterday and now I’ve only got one more year of studying at my current school.

I also went out partying with my friends from school; out at 6 pm, home by 2 am.

Steam Application, The

You should be like Finder.

I want to browse and buy games. I don’t want to update every day and I certainly don’t want you to install Growl.

Suggestions to UPS

UPS needs to get their act together. Just stating that you are out for delivery won’t work because I might not be able to be home during you’re delivery hours.

Either update the package’s delivery info with “out for delivery” only when it is really out for delivery and check of your packages on a list and update the web interface. After that you could send notifications via text or email.

Or set specific time periods when you are out on the roads so se can have an approximated time of delivery (9 - 19 is a bit vague). This way you could set a delivery time for each item (min. 1 hr) based on package size etc. and know whether or not you are able to deliver it today or tomorrow.

This is the end of my rant and the start of my iPad loving.

School, vacation & good stuff

A little roundup of what’s happening in the next two weeks.

School

My final week in school is coming up and for me that means: tests (math and physics), bowling and cake-eating. I’m graduating on the 15th so be sure to send me some more cake.

Vacation

I love vacations and I love work.

BBQ. And that’s all I’m gonna say about my vacation.

I will be freelancing this summer, via Pico and as myself, so if you’ve got any projects or know of any, you should let me know.

Good stuff

My iPad will be here within a week, I recently launched a studio & I’m graduating. I’m super excited about all of these things so I wanted to do two things in between these events.

  • Launch a realign of my website and this blog. Nothing too fancy, just some ‘quick’ fixes.
  • Lower the price of Spik from $25 to $10. It won’t be on sale for a limited time, it will receive a permanent price drop.

Well I better brush up my BBQ’ing-skills, get a drink and enjoy the weather.

I’ll see you guys later.
