Long Time No Post

My last post was in March. It's safe to say that I have a very off-and-on posting schedule.

 

Crazy PHP

I use PHP over at Business Casual to create an archive calendar. Until today, I thought that it worked fine. However, I checked it today and found that there's kind of a problem with the mktime function.

Business Casual

In case you've never read it, I write and draw a webcomic named Business Casual. It's a comic about business and office life with a little techie humor thrown in for good measure. Check it out sometime. Most who do aren't disappointed.

The Joy Of The DVD Case

Am I being naive or does the whole purchasing a downloaded movies from the internet need a couple of more years before it can be worthwhile? I have a broadband connection at my house. It's cable actually, so I can get decent download speeds. But if I want to download a movie file that's weighing around 1-2 GB, I still have to wait hours to days to get that thing down to my machine. If I have to wait on a movie download for more than an hour, then I would just rather go purchase the actual physical DVD itself. Once I add the fact that I have devote most of my bandwidth to the download file instead of my normal browsing and gaming, I just don't see the benefit. This is especially true if the cost to download costs the same or more than I have to pay at Target, Wal-Mart, or Best Buy for the actual DVD.

 

On A Magic Elevator Ride

My current job has me working on the 23rd floor of a company's corporate building so I get to ride the 16th floor and above elevator every morning. Usually, there are about three to five other passengers on the elevator with me except for that rare occasion when I get the express ride by myself. Recently, I broke from the accepted practice of staring at the slowly increasing floor numbers and started to observe the others my rotating cast of fellow elevator buddies. After a few days of people staring, I believe that most morning elevator groups comprise one of the most depressed and downtrodden looking set of people in the world. It's like we lose a little piece of our souls each time those doors close. Even jovial friends that were joking and laughing before they got on the elevator quickly morph their faces into a countenance similar to World Series of Poker contestants. There’s got a Stephen King book or M Night Shalayman movie here somewhere.

 

Ronald's Got Game.

I have a new entry for my reasons to have a camera handy list. I just saw Ronald McDonald playing basketball. The McDonald's high school All American game is being held in my town this year. So, I guess they decided to promote it by setting up a couple of basketball goals downtown and having Ronald play. Words just can't express the scene of a 6 foot red and yellow clown shooting hoops.

 

Comic != Stocks

Will the horrible resale value of comics affect my future comic spending?

Lord of the Rings DVDs - Version 3

I already own the theatrical DVD versions of the movie, but I never got around to buying the extended editions. So when I first heard about the new all-in-one collections, I thought that it would be cool to have them in that format.
