Other days I'd be proven wrong, when something much worse showed up. I found both joy and nausea in the same moment. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LDP7CUWQKkB2FAqUYSCtqARnQw0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LDP7CUWQKkB2FAqUYSCtqARnQw0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LDP7CUWQKkB2FAqUYSCtqARnQw0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LDP7CUWQKkB2FAqUYSCtqARnQw0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>Blurbhttp://drfloob.com/blurbs/19:hanging_up_my_keyboardhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/drfloob_blurbs/~3/HA8AM5OC-Co/20:csulb_spring_2010_registration_calendarhttp://drfloob.com/blurbs/20:csulb_spring_2010_registration_calendarHappy Festivus!

My job is not what it was made out to be, and I struggled with that to an unhealthy end. I'm learning to accept the situation, and leave work a happier, healthier guy. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/4xk-w2l2xDmUHve8ZvD9gU5pI8c/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/4xk-w2l2xDmUHve8ZvD9gU5pI8c/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/4xk-w2l2xDmUHve8ZvD9gU5pI8c/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/4xk-w2l2xDmUHve8ZvD9gU5pI8c/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>Blurbhttp://drfloob.com/blurbs/18:accepting_the_unexpected_and_unwantedhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/drfloob_blurbs/~3/uiDnUFSmJgo/17:csulb_registration_deadlines_google_calendarhttp://drfloob.com/blurbs/17:csulb_registration_deadlines_google_calendarFinding the registration deadlines took minutes, both times I've tried to do it.

A new job has gotten my hopes for awesome architecture too far up to be healthy. A formal education is crawling back into my long-term goal set. A new project has plagued my thoughts without end! It's chaos and drama at their finest here in the land of asthmatic doves. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1IFgh-wLiUKRZXi49sCK7OtZqLo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1IFgh-wLiUKRZXi49sCK7OtZqLo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1IFgh-wLiUKRZXi49sCK7OtZqLo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1IFgh-wLiUKRZXi49sCK7OtZqLo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>Blurbhttp://drfloob.com/blurbs/15:projects_pedagogy_and_prioritieshttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/drfloob_blurbs/~3/hJYH4Ii7sxU/14:javaserver_pages_-_hans_bergstenhttp://drfloob.com/blurbs/14:javaserver_pages_-_hans_bergstenFrom my Amazon review of an amazing book on a crappy technology. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/gZWcuYFbESRFr1iGaxtjLnVfHrY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/gZWcuYFbESRFr1iGaxtjLnVfHrY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/gZWcuYFbESRFr1iGaxtjLnVfHrY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/gZWcuYFbESRFr1iGaxtjLnVfHrY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>Blurbhttp://drfloob.com/blurbs/14:javaserver_pages_-_hans_bergstenhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/drfloob_blurbs/~3/XgtiUhahIlc/13:luck_in_lovehttp://drfloob.com/blurbs/13:luck_in_loveSo much is irrelevant if you stop to think about your life. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uM5Agwr3RumCMRFf1jBoLC2pcak/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uM5Agwr3RumCMRFf1jBoLC2pcak/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uM5Agwr3RumCMRFf1jBoLC2pcak/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uM5Agwr3RumCMRFf1jBoLC2pcak/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>Blurbhttp://drfloob.com/blurbs/13:luck_in_lovehttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/drfloob_blurbs/~3/r9t14-9F9VY/12:the_quest_for_zero_login_part_1http://drfloob.com/blurbs/12:the_quest_for_zero_login_part_1Logins are annoying. We live in a time where a <strong>single button click</strong> determines some websites' entire monetary worth (CTR). It's a pain to make users jump through hoops, requiring this terribly awkward signup, validate email, and finally login process. I just don't want to make people do it anymore. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IstinJKEBoyccv7lCR6xIxbQYEY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IstinJKEBoyccv7lCR6xIxbQYEY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IstinJKEBoyccv7lCR6xIxbQYEY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IstinJKEBoyccv7lCR6xIxbQYEY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>Blurbhttp://drfloob.com/blurbs/12:the_quest_for_zero_login_part_1http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/drfloob_blurbs/~3/_2qnETM_L5g/11:a_hidden_gem_in_formencode_and_a_plate_full_of_beefhttp://drfloob.com/blurbs/11:a_hidden_gem_in_formencode_and_a_plate_full_of_beefWhile learning Pylons, I found myself digging into the documentation of a few different tools that come packaged with it. FormEncode has so far been the most intriguing. I ended up digging into the code, and found a hidden gem. I've also got a few improvement ideas to toss around, in the form of oh-so-tender beef. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0mqxoDN8fPpNM3KSU5dcsQd-rpU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0mqxoDN8fPpNM3KSU5dcsQd-rpU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0mqxoDN8fPpNM3KSU5dcsQd-rpU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0mqxoDN8fPpNM3KSU5dcsQd-rpU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>Blurbhttp://drfloob.com/blurbs/11:a_hidden_gem_in_formencode_and_a_plate_full_of_beef
