Not wearing any clothes, on the internet.

I thought it was funny to find myself on the Internet without any clothes. It was a real shocker!

Just like me, you’ve been caught with your clothes off…or maybe the expression is “Caught with your pants down”.

This is just a simple reminder that nothing is what it seems on the Internet and you should practice safe Internet use =]. However, I will do whatever I can to make sure your safe.

Why we throw pots.

Let me introduce you to Link, Link is a fictional character and the main protagonist in Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series of video games. The first thing you will notice about Link is that he wears green, which I must say is pretty sweet. What isn’t visible is that he is a pot thrower.

Why does Link throw pots, you might ask? As you play Link in various Zelda games, you find that underneath pots can be anything from extra Health or Rupees that you can use to buy power ups throughout the game.

The problem with Links addition to picking up pots and seeing what is under them is that he is not able to gently put them down. In order to rid himself of pot he was so eager to look under, he must toss it.

So that bring us to, well us. Why do we throw pots, moreover, why do humans have the urge to throw a pot.

You may say to yourself at this point, “I don’t throw pots, how silly”. Well next time your angry from a long day of work, or you just generally had a bad day. Think about finding the nearest Pot and throwing it. It doesn’t matter where you throw it, just pick it up, check for anything special underneath, throw the pot and collect what you found.

Forget cigarettes, beer or any other illicit drug…When your angry…Chuck a pot, the satisfaction of giving it a good throw will make your day quite enjoyable.

Link does it. Don’t you want to wear green clothes as well?

PS- Why are there no decent pictures of Link holding a pot above his head.

Weekend Profile Update

Just posting a message to let everyone know that I finally put an about page on the site check it out: http://hertzelle.com/about-me/

Other Updates:

  • P90x has slowed down, I’m going to pick it up tomorrow (Sunday) and restart week 6. Week 6 has been a lazy week.
  • I’ve been learning Apache Cassandra, it’s pretty amazing.
  • The xcode development continues, Apple has not approved either of my Developer Licenses yet, which makes me frustrated.

Why can’t I always feel this dizzy…

Updates!

This is week 6 of my P90X program, I think I’ve seen results, however I do not feel as if I’ve made a whole lot or progress this week.

I’m currently learning xcode and objective c for the work machine, so far so good. I’ve learned a little more this week and this weekend I hope to progress into some real serious business!

Tuition is due and I just put my Volkswagon into the shop to get a tune up. Turns out the small grinding sound I’ve started to hear in the past week or so were the breaks completely shot. So I’ve got new brakes and rotors. Broke!

Web browser spell check is horrible, Firefox, Chrome all of them have horrible spell checking. I always have to google my words to get the proper spellings. Why isn’t Googles spelling correction built into their browser.

I desperately need my haircut, but I think it will have to wait until the weekend.

Other than that, this summer is going great and I’m happy that I’m being productive and not wasting a whole lot of time with World of Warcraft.

Chrome 5 vs Firefox 4

As a web developer what am I suppose to choose for MY browser?

Today Firefox 4 Beta was introduced, I can’t say that I’m totally impressed, but I think they’ve finally caught back up with Chrome after a long hiatus of updates. (After they implement the coming soon features of course.)

So I’ve downloaded Firefox 4 and I’ve read the feature list: Faster Loading, HTML5, CSS3, Sync (Coming Soon). First thing I did was the “Mississippi” test to see how fast it launched. This was the one (MAIN) thing that made me go to Chrome in the first place and now it has been my primary browser for the last 5+ months now. I was happily impressed to see that it is just as fast as Chrome now, and I wish they would have patched the slowness a long time ago.

After discovering that some of the core features that I love about Chrome are not yet available for FF4, I’ve decided to continue to use Chrome. Why? Although Firefox was there for me, when Internet Explorer was so rotten to me…Chrome has made my life easy. I now interact with over 5 computing devices daily (Work Computer, Home Computer, Cell Phone…etc). The biggest feature for me now in a browser is keeping my internet life in-sync, the bookmarks, the history, all of that gooey stuff.

The two major differences between Firefox and Chrome now are basically WebKit(KDE) and Gecko. Over the past 5+ months I’ve learned to love WebKit. Everything seems cleaner and faster. It also seems that Webkit development has lead to a better experience in mastering my standards as well as helped prevent me from coding anything that IE generally doesn’t like. There is some magic of WebKit that I just can’t put my finger on…

The Choice: As you may have guessed, I’m keeping chrome for now. However sometime in November, I want to do a proper head to head review of Firefox 4 VS Chrome.

Lets not forget, IE 9 is right around the corner? Would I ever switch to back IE…Heck no!

First iOS Application

I complied my first 100% functioning iOS application today…It was quite an event, run time errors can be a bitch… Especially when you misspell object names :(

I’m so glad that my C experience is finally going to be useful for something. Tomorrow if I have time, I’m going to try and keep working on a bigger project for work to see if I can’t get something running out of it. The “head first” approach has left it quite a mess, at least I haven’t gotten too much into it yet.

One thing that I was expecting to be quite difficult with iOS development was going to be the UI design, which Apple’s Interface Designer makes so easy.

Finally, I’ve been trying to add / commit into SVN as I went along, but I’m getting some crazy errors..There are quite a lot of files that get edited that I yet do not know what they do, so I’ve decided to skip trying to integrate with SVN for now.

More on these developments of iOS Applications later!
