Did you ever have one of those days where you woke up. Got ready for work and school. Got to school and then realized you didn't have to do either because it was the last day before classes resumed and you had requested this day off of work? No? Its quite possibly the greatest feeling in the entire world. *grins*

I am now dealing with a formatting issue related to escaping html entity chars: <:, >, and & . . . I don't have a good idea of which path to take.
(04:02:31) me: ? (04:02:32) bloggerim: You've reached a bot, I don't know what to do, so I'm going to tell you a few things. Unrecognized Command!

"get recent" get the titles and ids of the 15 most recent posts. "get all entries" get the titles and ids of the all your posts. "register username password blog_id" Use this to register a blogger account and blog to your jabber ID. Please note, this password is stored unecrypted on the server's disk. People with access to this server have access to the password. Only use this bot if you trust me; meaning . . . its probably not the best idea.

My issues with by blogger bot have come down to one line:
socket.setdefaulttimeout(20)
Now to uncover the dirt that makes this a problem.
Title:The weekend Friday night I went with some guys from work to the Bottom Lounge to see Pretty Girls Make Graves. I would tell you how the show was but unfortunatly it was sold out. As a resu< we instead just hung out, ate at Pick Me Up's and walked around a bit. I returned home to the burbs and promptly went to sleep. Saturday was nothing special either. I spent the morning/afternoon working on xmpp2blogger, my jabber bot and ATOM api for python. In the evening I went downtown again, this time to hang out with my buddy Chris's place. We walked around a bunch, got some pizza, watched the Family Guy movie and talked about Jesus . . . and how he's a tricky guy. There was this one time Jesus and I saw this guy with two cigarettes; one tucked into each ear. So I went up to him and asked, "Hey, can I bum a cig?" The guy was totally cool about it and handed me one. He then reached to his other ear to grab the second cigarette but there was nothing there. Jesus tapped him on the shoulder smiled and lit the cigarette he had taken when the guy was handing me his other one. The guy almost cried. Lately I've been toying with the idea of registering a domain and hosting all of my friends websites. Kind of like a community hub for my group of friends. If people would be interested, I'd do it . . . Give me the word. On the xmpp/blogger front, I've spend a good couple of hours hammering out the fixes needed to use the SVN version of pyxmpp. Additionally, I threw together a command line tool so that I can easily write my post in vim and upload. I'm hitting an awful bug when trying to connect to some jabber servers where pyxmpp throws an exception while doing some stream manipulation:

Now is the time to investigate.Labels: xmpp
The productivity of a person is directly related to the interest they hold in the role they are playing. For example: When I am at work and am doing something interesting I quickly lose track of time and soon not only are my tasks done, I feel content and excited that I've created, completed and finished something exciting.
The other side of the fence though is people who work in roles where thought is not necessary, every aspect of your job planned for you and the people above you do everything in their power to coerce you into making goals that you not only don't have the heart for but you don't have the resources to accomplish those tasks.
I just found: Plazes Its a pretty nifty site that does social networking using geography and a nifty idea about mapping networks. I updated a python script to launch plazes and am awaiting a response from the original author with what to do to it.

Summer 2005
The BBQ was a big success, I even inspired someone to throw one of their own! Thanks to everyone who came. I hope you had a good time.
I'm getting some bad feedback/whining when hooking my server up to the PA. When I force the cpu load up to 100% the feedback stops. I wonder why this is happening?

As titled by Josh, the BBQ is Saturday . . . I ordered Labatt Blue. I hope that is okay with everyone. I for sure have a C in Calculus, tomorrow is part two of the final, lets see if I can get (doubtful) a B.
I need less stress in my life, I'm getting out of control and I don't like myself behaving the way I've been.

Now I can immortalize the barbeque.
PS. You're invited, August 13th, early evening till early morning.
Bad news:
Good news:
(11 + 80 + 14 + 95 + 14 + 15 + 77 + 18 + 15 + 78 + 0 + 0) / 630 = ~0.66
(11 + 80 + 14 + 95 + 14 + 15 + 77 + 18 + 15 + 78 + 10 + 60) / 630 = 0.77
Better news:
(11 + 80 + 14 + 95 + 14 + 15 + 77 + 18 + 15 + 78 + 15 + 90) / 630 = 0.82
If I get 75% or more of the remaining points (>87 points) in the class, I get a B. If I get 36 more points this semester I don't have to take Calculus I again! Other than the fact that it is now impossible for me to get an A in the class, things are looking positive!
Alright, I'll admit it, I've gone too far over the edge. Too busy. Too little time. Too much stuff. Too little sleep. Too much to do. Too distracted. Too easily tired. Too boring. This summer, as I've been ranting and raging about has been filled with three things: Work, School and Sleep. They are not the three things I wanted them to be. We're entering the second week of August and for the most part, this summer I've done the following:

Only 4 more days of new material, 2 tests and 1 quiz before I get a two week break and start all over again . . . . WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! If I ace these next two tests, that spells an A for my final grade. Here's hoping . . .
