- Its scary how inefficient some of this code is. Hitting the db for everything! Pulling avatars hits the db. That’s just crazy.Fixing it #
A Day In The Life (2008-07-13)
- Going to get Indian with my friends. Oops, actually going to get Thai because my friend will be in India for three weeks. #
- Finished watching Tyler Perry’s “Meet The Browns”. I didn’t think it was that good. Liked Angela Bassett though, she’s was hot. #
- Just finished fixing Postie and WordpressMobile plugins so that they work together. Postie already thumbnails so I needed to fix WM. #
- Going to bed. #
- Looks like I can get away with attaching video directly from my phone. Looks like I should do a quick pic for a thumbnail though. Exciting #
Quick Video Test
This is a quick test to see how well video works with Postie. I’m watching Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN. This was an exclusive interview with Obama on foreign politics. It was pretty interesting, McCain is pretty crazy when it comes to policy. McCain wants to exclude China and Russia from the G8. Obama mentions nuclear proliferation as a reason to keep Russia close to the vest. China is the fastest growing economy in the world, duh.
Update: The video quality and the microphone aren’t the best on the Motorola Q9C. Looks like I’ll be sticking to stills 
Kujo
A quick picture of Kujo for a test. Trying to fix Postie with the image support.
A Day In The Life (2008-07-12)
- Finally setup Twitter tools on the blog ;). Anyone know of a good plugin for doing email with pics and text too create a post in WP? #
- Just bought some olive oil shampoo from http://www.donnadeesdesigns.com, well at the farmer’s market in Waltham. Gotta support local
# - Great, now my machine is hung as soon as I finish patching Postie. I need to get out of here so I can hit the gym,, grrrr. #
First blog post message from my phone!
Well that’s if you don’t include Twitter. I think that images are broken in Wordpress 2.5, but will be fixed in the next release. I’ll set an attachment anyway to test things out. Anyway, you’ll get more updates from me because of the email integration I’m doing on my blogs. I’ll setup something for RGB Daily next.
A Day In The Life (2008-07-11)
- Finding a lot of points foir optimizing the codebase. Looking at most PHP applications, why do they think storing config in the db is good? #
- Finished cleaning up the core registration and now I understand it. I will now wire friends before I fix the look and feel. #
- Successfully jumped the Golf, had to charge the battery overnight.Also completed reg/invite integration.Need to fix installer (modularize) #
Where I’m at Now
This is a historic time and I’m glad that I was able to participate by adding my vote to get Obama closer to getting into office. I’ve been glued to CNN keeping track of everything blow by blow. I’ve also been very busy trying to get my own campaign to launch a new online social service off the ground. I’ve been posting a lot to my company blog, blog.rgbdaily.com. I’ve also been using Twitter a lot and will soon install TwitterTools here so that I can keep the updates flowing no matter what. I will also plugin FriendFeed so people can keep track of what I’m doing.
I’ve also been hitting the gym really hard. I’ve lost a lot of weight in the past 5 months. I’m at 180 now and really enjoying the V shape that is starting to emerge. Just got my road bike tuned up and I’m looking to do a couple of trails at the Cape. Other than that, things are looking pretty good. We will try to launch RGB Daily later this month for a limited release. Exciting times.

Grand Canyon West
I did my trip to Grand Canyon West Back in early March, but I thought I should post some photos from the trip. I’ve been really busy with the startup which I will announce shortly. Take care guys.
Obama, PA, and Energy
I got another email from the Obama campaign today that was focused on increasing involvement for voter registration. This is going to be critical. Here is a link to get started for registering Pennsylvania voters. After watching the community organizing video also watched a couple of ads that are running over in PA. I think ads do matter, but grass roots organizing is what gets the vote out. I’m from Philadelphia and I know that voter registration will be key if Obama expects to tighten the gap between Hillary. Hillary has the support of Ed Rendell, the governor, and has the support of the Philadelphia Mayor because he won’t commit political suicide. Philadelphia needs all the help it can get from the Governor’s Office. Having support from the mayor means that Hillary will try to limit Barack’s momentum in mobilizing the black vote. At the same time Obama is presenting his mother’s side to white and rural voters to win some swing votes. If Barack can avoid any negative news before this next contest he might be able to gain some ground in the PA contest.
Check out the ads running in PA:
And here is a cool excerpt from a Rally in Beckley, WV. The topic is energy:
