Just looking at it, I can tell exactly what I can expect when I click
it.

To me, that URL tells a delightful children’s story…

FlashSubContent = a wonderful fantasy world
[elephant] id = 11654 [Dumbo]
[elephant] parentID = 320 [Mrs. Jumbo]
[cage] FolderID = 340 [because they took her Dumbo away, and Mrs. Jumbo got angry, so she had to get locked up]
aspx = evil clown makeup wearing Microsoft employees who locked Dumbo’s mother up

Down to three bugs

I’m officially (at this moment) down to three bugs on my project at work. This means… that I am almost ready to resume my life, as well as writing here… for the first time in 6 straight months. I’ll be taking some (much needed) vacation time at some point, but am anxiously looking forward to re-connecting with this site.

Additionally, can I just mention that the Celtics won? So my Red Sox are World Series champs, my Giants are NFL champs, and now my Celtics are NBA champs. How sweet is that???

what I've been up to

Though I doubt it will mean anything to anyone… I threw this diagram together Monday night. It’s my application design for a default NCBI application. I’m pretty excited about it. Not too fancy, but a nice start.

I’ve also been thinking about writing a Firefox extension. It’s about time that I play around with it, and I was thinking that a pretty simple app (like twitbin) would be a good place to start. No plans yet, but… ideas.

Speaking of ideas, when is twitter going to become open source and (then) de-centralized? That would be awesome…

Alright, now time to take the design and make it generic… woo hoo overloading!
