::sigh:: Yeah, it’s been awhile. I decided that I really just don’t like June. Nothin’ but trouble, really. It’s gotten way too hot, and way too humid, and I don’t even get to take the whole summer off anymore! Okay, so it’s been something like 13 years since I actually took summers off, but it still seems somehow ingrained in our collective unconsious that “summer” == “vacation”. Even when it doesn’t. Even when, given the choice, I don’t want to take my vacation in the summer. I just don’t want to work, either!

Coding tools

Dreamweaver UltraDev: next great time-saving tool, or time-wasting PITA? Opinions? I’m not entirely sure yet. It seems to have promise, especially for some people on our team who aren’t ready for hand-coding ASP and for times when faster the most important factor, but I’m not exactly thrilled with the code it generates. I’ll need to spend some time looking at how much I can customise the generated VBScript; don’t even talk to me about the server-side JavaScript it generated on the test pass of that code. Nightmare city, just like the “behaviors” I hate so much.
I’d love to see some real competition - not to mention really robust products - in the automated scripting arena. Visual InterDev is a beast (consider the source) with too much crap I don’t need (surprise!). Adobe took GoLive and didn’t make it any better, though now they’ve added “Dynamic Link”, which I’ve yet to see actually work. At this point, Macromedia is the winner through mindshare alone. Not that Dreamweaver is a bad product - far from it - but I really wish there were some decent competition. Free market economy and all that.
I didn’t forget!

Happy belated birthday to my little brother!! He turned 26 years old last Wednesday. Good grief. And married, too! Wow, that makes me feel old. My baby brother is all grown up!
Hot hot hot

Stupid fair. Stupid weather. I just hate hate hate hate hate hot weather. Especially almost 100 degree hot with over 80 percent humidity. Combine that with another thing I just hate - crowds - and you’ll understand why I never did go back to the fair this weekend. Stupid fair. But whatever…
Went to the fair last night, which would have been great if we had arrived a little earlier. Can anyone tell my why a fair that ends at midnight is pretty well shut down by 10:30? Free tickets for another day, though, so we may get back and actually do something. Or, you know, not.
