Cure for hangover: 2 cinnabons and a 500ml bottle of coke.

MMS on the Blackberry Pearl and Rogers.
I have a blackberry that I love. But it stopped sending picture messages (MMS).
Mid April 2008: Cancel my data plan for 2 reasons: changed jobs, so they wouldn’t be paying for my data anymore; and was going away for a month to a foreign country.
Mid May: I realize I can’t send or receive picture messages.
Beginning of June: Call Rogers to complain about the picture messaging...

There are 199 “Nick Douglas” or “Nicholas Douglas”es in the U.S. Only one Thor Muller (friend), one Lockhart Steele (former editor), one Cole Stryker (friend and he’s in England right now so I guess that makes none). Lucky bastards.
There are 1 or fewer people with my name in the U.S.A.
It’s the “or fewer” that scares me.
I am also the only...

As the two people who regularly check my Tumblr have noticed, I haven’t been around as much as I used too. We had a good run together. There was a good six month span or so when I frequently refreshed my dashboard and tried admirably to include myself in the tumblr world. I actively looked for stories and ideas that would make interesting posts. I even got into feuds with some of...

omg this computer comes bundled with pph5! sweet!
Ordering food. There’s nothing in the fridge. I’ll probably regret this when I’m 35 no?
Those new people in your life...
Isn’t it weird how most new people you’ll meet (in both the dating and friendship world) you’ll most likely never see again and never talk to again? I feel honestly sad and a little disturbed by this. I guess I can’t easily accept that one day you’ll meet someone that you like, who you think its cool, and a couple of months down the road they blocked you out of their...

Macbook Woes
I’m going to get a community bashing for this… but I have to come out with these. I’ve been holding them in too long. These are some of the issues I’ve found, only THIS morning.
- The edges. Macbook’s edges are brutal. Try sitting with the laptop on your lap while you’re laying down in bed. Your wrists die.
- Heat. Hot. Heat. Laptop is so freaking hot when...
New Theme!
I was growing tired of my old tumblr theme where everything was flushed to the left and the content column was so thin, so I did a bit of googling and found one from Elliott Cost (great theme btw!)
I can tweak designs, but I honestly can’t come up with something on my own. So I tweaked this one. I hope he doesnt mind. I do have a good reason for it though.
1. I want a sidebar.

Can’t we have it all? Does a girl have to be smart, sexy, OR sane? Can she propose weekend plans for Saturday and let me lead on Sunday? Will she hang tough for a session at the MOMA and then kick back over beers, mac & cheese, with cartoons?
To put it bluntly - I want an equal partner. She can have her kinks (I’ll pull the hair and slap the ass if “that’s the kind...
An older blog, but still a valid question
antikris:
I don’t spend my money on highlights or fake nails. I don’t cook well. I have never dreamt of my perfect wedding since I was a wee little girl. My shoes don’t always match my belt, wait…I don’t wear belts! My hair is usually up because I am too lazy to spend 30 minutes each day blow drying and curling. I enjoy dry comedy, not romantic. I don’t like flowers and don’t wear jewelry. But...
WatchWoW - The Wrath of The Lich King
This trailer makes me wish this was an actual movie trailer rather than a teaser for an online multiplayer game that does not feel and/or play the same as the video.

TIFF 08!
The Toronto International Film Festival announced its full lineup last night. I am hoping to catch at least one movie this year. Because for the last 8 years I’ve lived in Canada, I have not seen one single movie.
Although I had an funny tun-into Hilary Swank back in 2001 —who may I add is super tall and gorgeous; and I caught a glimpse of Reese Witherspoon’s head and Jake...

Great little jQuery plugin by Ryan McGeary to display ISO 8601 date and time strings as plain-English “fuzzy” timestamps like those used on Tumblr (eg, “posted 1 day ago”). (via Script & Style)
Aw, I didn’t know anyone cared so much. Here’s the PHP function:

{
$seconds = intval($seconds);
if ($seconds == 0) {

Get real. I am 29 and I cant say that I even now know how to enjoy alcohol responsibly. Do they think lowering the age to 18 will alleviate the binge drinking?! Realy?! If you want to do something, legalize the herb. I cant partake in it because I get drug tested for work but I know if I went on weed binges over booze binges the only thing that...

[tech] submitting forms with javascript
I keep running into these stupid small issues with javascript and prototype. Sometimes they seem so simple, so easy, but somehow you can’t figure them out. This next thing should have been logical, I should have known.. and still, I spent 20 minutes figuring out why it didn’t work.
The goal: a mass action button. On the php side, I use the name of the button to process the form. On...

[tech] returning variables inside a prototype each...
I ran into a funky issue today. I was trying to get the value of a radio button by looping through all the radios with the same class name, then checking to see which was selected, setting a variable with the value of the selected item.
At first, the most obvious and easy solution was to use prototype’s each function for the loop.
