With The Band

I’ve made significant progress, to the point I can say that I have a working alpha of Metro Times. To Check DC Metro Times on Your Cell Phone

Send a text message to metro [AT] skeevisarts [DOT] com (replace AT and DOT with the appropriate symbols).

Is done*. I am so 1337.
*OK, fine, it’s not totally done yet. It still is missing the SMS interface. But I am waiting for emails from vendors, and my second alternative (sending SMS through e-mail) can’t be done yet because Sun’s dev website is down for maintenance. The command line interface is awesome.
You can just […]

I just came up with an awesome idea.
I was at a bar for a close friend’s birthday last night. I am a morning person, so I tend to go to sleep pretty early at night (usually), and thus didn’t want to be out late. And for sure, I didn’t want to leave the bar early, […]
