The future: Ramadan in a few weeks
Anticipated Scenario: Closed stores, boredom, traffic, getting drunk in the living room
Work: One million unfinished projects
–> Flash: Uncooperative Actionscript
–> Flash: Difficulty (impossibility?) in making buttons nested in movie clips to link to an .swf target in the same scene (despair)
–> Errors due to server upgrading to php5 /MySQL5
–> Flash: a pain in the ass (what’s new…)
Silver lining: swimming pool, music, Hanim feeding me homemade doughnuts
Currently listening to:

I forgot what it was like during Ramadan until I read your post! Now I’m reminded of my time in Jakarta. But if there is to be home made doughnuts, it can’t be that bad

Nooooooooooooooooo (cry of despair from that one guy who’s dumb enough to use linux and whose computer doesn’t feel the love for flash :p)
But your work sounds incredibly like mine today
)
Aircraft: uncooperative equipment
Aircraft: difficulty (impossibility?) in making 9 interacting computers interact together
Errors due to said debugging being done in Hamburg, germany whilst brain is in france
Aircraft: a pain in the ass (what’s new…)
Silver lining: sunshine, movie, and a beer

Jessi> we should form a We Hate Server Configuration And Flash group on facebook or something, LOL. Glad it’s a thing of the past for you
Sinta> Yeah, the doughnuts definitely cheered me up. They were really damn good, too! Now I do remember that you were in Jakarta when you were younger. It’s tough, Ramadan!
Yen> 5 hours of work?! You guys are spoiled
Can’t wait for you to move buildings!!!
Tomm> Hey Mr. Missing in Action, your aircrafts seem to have hatched up a scheme with Flash to make our lives miserable! We humans are no match for the nasty machineswe’ve created. Thankfully, there are silver linings. AND alcohol
Maybe I should rethink linux?
Haze> You said it, Yen is a goldmine of colourful stories, never a dull time with her, hehehe.

I have experienced Ramadan a third of my lifetime. The things that stuck to my mind are the prayers that could be heard from afar, the noises when it’s time to eat, the food. I love the food they prepare I must say, spicy and all. After the dull days, they seem to party when the sun sets… at least from my experience..
Bon courage… a thousand winks, and more bottles, then it’s over
As to Madpinoy …. no mores… no time to do it…
