First off, I would like to take this opportunity to, on behalf of everyone here at sethdesantis.com, wish you a very Happy Easter. If you were able to spend it with people even half as awesome as the people I spent mine with then I know you had a great day. I really enjoyed the opportunity to visit with my parents, they are the reason I am able to do everything I do, have done, will do, and don't do (ie: not doing bad things). I could write volumes of blogs on the reasons my parents are so great, but that would require you and me to take our relationship to the next level....it's not you, it's me, I just don't think we are there yet....please understand, let's just take this whole thing slowly....
I opted to take the train for my holiday trip. The reasoning behind this decision has yet to be announced, until this exact moment. Oh, how excited you must be! Yes, it was certainly as I previously told people, due to me just not really wanting to drive anywhere, but I must confess I had a secret motive. For the past three days I have been really stuck on how to write the code for my Tag Cloud. Much like almost everything in the world , there seems to be several good paths to to acheive my goal, but finding the best wasn't very obvious. I have previously written the code for a Tag Cloud that ranked every tag into 1 of 3 categories based on it's use. That code was semi-solid, but I needed to rewrite everything from the ground up. I just wasn't getting the exact information I needed on the plethora of internet resources to comfortably write the tag functions I was looking for. Thus my decision for the train. Armed with some in depth PHP books and my laptop, I was able to bang out exactly what I was looking for. The code will certainly need to be tweaked once I upload it to the server later this week, but I am confident it's approach is the appropriate one for the Cloud.
Sopranos will be starting is a few minutes, I am excited to watch it. I would be lying if I said I was as excited as if any episode of Rome or Lost was on. Worthy to note, I have not watched the first few seasons, which is likely why I don't have the Soprano craze everyone has. Or maybe it is just because it isn't as good as Rome, Lost, and even Carnival for this tangent discussions sake. Regardless, this last season will undoubtedly be very entertaining.
[side note: I just wrote a very funny paragraph but erased it, it is so hard to write anything when everyone to no one could be in the audience.]
From your filtered view of the inside, out, good night.
