if lord of the rings was made in china, this is how it would look



well, it looks like my favorite american idol hopeful didn't make it. but i say he will have a good chance at the wild card spot. yesterday, diem came over and we cooked some salmon on my trusty george forman grill. as always, the food was superb. thanks to diem, and george. had it with grilled onions and mashed red potatoes. mmmm...... then we watched the american idol auditions that i had downloaded a few weeks ago.



then i decided to work on my commenting asp script that i wanted to add to my photo gallery. so i worked on that for almost 5 hours. i didn't know jack about databases...so it was going to be more of a lesson on ASP and SQL than anything. and then spent about ~7 more hours today learning how to access, write, update, delete, and just generally work with how the database works. and this is what i came up with so far. please leave some random comments here



yes, i understand how odd it might be (for some) spending 12 hours for such a simple looking script especially when i have a commenting feature that works well in my blog. but it is fully customizable. i basically got almost everything working. adding in fields and stuff will be easy. i can make it look nice. i will eventually move my blog's commenting system to it also. since the current commenting system really slows down the page loading, it would be nice to move it to my server.



after work, i went to work out at rimac.........wasn't a good day. i didn't eat right during the day, and it really showed at the gym. and then i went to get pho and boba with raymond. then i we came home to watch some american idol that i downloaded that he missed.



one of ray's project at work and for school is www.jusspress.com. it is many things centered around a photo journal. he made it possible for it to work on desktop windows machines (it only used to work on handhelds). so i opened up my jusspress account today and unloaded about 1500 pictures into it. (it is still uploading as i type this.) it is really neat. i wish there was a way to marry blogger and jusspress together. then it would be a match made in heaven. because blogger.com is a better text journal, and jusspress is a way better photo journal.



on my last trip to costco, i bought chewable vitamins instead of the regular kind by accident. i always thought kirkland vitamins were pretty top notch....and was surprised to find how extremely large the 500mg vitamin c tablet was (not knowing it was chewable). so i tried to swallow the biggest tablet i had swallowed so far, and quickly learned that they couldn't be expecting to sell them this big. and yup, it says "chewable" right on the front. how did i miss it?
