so i've hit 501 comments, i guess i need to keep track of this better, of course some have been duplicates and such, so its probably not actually correct. whatever.
walter hasn't updated yet. i'm not sure when we should start the nagging, maybe i can make some equation:
if (length of previous update/days since last update)/ < 10 then nag_
(i just decided alan programming ends lines with _, and one should post at least 10 lines per day of course)
as i don't update on weekend, i guess i should refine that formula...:
if (length of previous update/(days since last update suchthat day=/= sat or sun))/ < 10 then nag_
is suchthat an acceptable formula? how about subject to? i have math on the brain, eh close enough to programming.
so aparently jen's dad wants to buy me something for all of my help (we'll ignore the insanity of loading 14 sheets of greenboard today) but i have no idea what i want. therefore, i need major suggestions!
i was thinking i don't know what i want in general, something like a tivo could be cool, but as they haven't changed the damn things or the prices (i think) for over a year, i'd expect some new ones to pop up for the holiday season, and they did promise the HDTivo too... an infrared thermometer could be handy, but i dono, just seems odd.
so there you have it, no quiz, but a highly useful quiz, in a non-multiple choice kind of method...get to suggesting!
Proded by stryder at September 07, 2003 11:04 PMI have no idea what you want either, hence you are the most impossible person to buy things for since anything you actually want you just get. Anyway...I just wanted you to know, that it looks like there is another MINI convert in my midst. Pete drove his friends over the weekend, and is now shopping for his own. The only question left seems to be bonnet stripes, or no bonnet stipes.
Posted by: Helen on September 8, 2003 01:20 PMBonnet stripes are only ok if they are black stripes on a white MINI. Otherwise, they're just wrong and they look stupid.
Also, if he gets a MINI, he needs to get a white roof. NOT BLACK OR BODY COLORED!
He should really wait for the cabrio MINI and get one of those.
I also don't know what my Dad should get Alan and Alan is being the opposite of helpful.
Posted by: Jen on September 8, 2003 02:03 PMdadofjen should get alan something that alan wouldn't buy for alan's self. like a pronoun remover, a night vision scope, an infared thermometer or a better digital camera or something else equally far down the curve of need or want versus cost. Alan could also desire something either for Alan's next MINI or for Alan's current '7. thoughts along those lines may or may not be Useful.
good luck
Posted by: Mike on September 8, 2003 04:52 PMHelen: Also, if Pete is going to get a white MINI with black bonnet stripes, he's allowed to get a black roof.
Mike: Good suggestions. For all the damn work Alan's been doing dadofjen should be buying Alan a MINI. dadofjen is, however, broke, so we're needing something a little cheaper. What Alan really needs to do is pick something from Circuit City because dadofjen gets a sweet discount. That way, he gets more stuff for less money. I bet a nice digital camera would be a good gift, especially since I don't think they carry pronoun removers.
