Day: July 24, 2004

I'd forgotten how much I've grown to dislike the bus. The seats are cramped and my knees are rubbing on my forehead. On the flipside, there's a cutie sleeping next to me :) Surprisingly, I can't fall asleep, even though I'm tired as hell. Woke up completely f'ed up this morning. Of course, it's all my fault and I'll survive, but still… Meh, I'll take a nap in the afternoon.

Oh, while I'm at it, note to self: fix the runtime NPE bug where no exception is caught when you're not connected the friends menu tries to be populated.

I did something I really hadn't done in a long while. I pulled an all-night coding run. I've been fiddling with the source code of my LJ client on my laptop, and I've managed to get some cool shit done:

1. I customized the logon screen with according to personal preferences with my LJ user icon instead of the ugly logo that was there.
2. The password is now sent encrypted, not in plaintext
3. I coded a module that polls my friend page every 10 minutes to see if there's any new activity. Sadly, I'm doing it by screen-scraping – which is frowned upon – but there's no other way. Besides, I probably check my blog manually more often than that when I'm in front of my laptop.

Things to do:
– get the damn cookie auth to work
– close the webReqs, as it's not being done
– get some sleep
