Writting a post
Why is it…
written but not writting?
command, comma, commend, but not comme?

At the beginning of the school year I had to create a VXML script that allowed people to communicate over a phone with a “pretend” operator. [Prototype1]
This time around we had to make it into a webpage (we could have used other languages, but html was my option of choice). He showed us an example of what he wanted, so I pretty much made that (it’s ugly). Mine is written in HTML and JavaScript. I used PHP to display the content posted to the confirmation page, I’m sure I could do that with JavaScript if I looked hard enough, but I’d rather it just work. [Prototype2]

Application PHP
I added my first attempt at Application PHP to the Projects page. Give me feedback if you think it’s the sweetest thing ever. I plan on adding additional features over christmas break.

Plastic Shards
You know that feeling you get when you get to the end of a deodorant stick, and the plastic pieces slice small scrapes into your armpits?
Well, I just experienced that with chap-stick.
And this picture really has nothing to do with it, other than I think it’s funny.

Dreamhost: resolved
The response I got (which I assumed):
“Hello Daniel, The reason it charged you as soon as you made the change is because when you change the billing cycle or selected plan, the changes reset the cycle and the effects are immediate. I’ll go ahead and wipe out the $70.01 that is owed on the account, as this was simply an honest mistake. If there’s anything else I can help you with, please let me know! Thanks! Christian”
The good news is that I do not have to pay $70.01, thank you Dreahost. w00t!

Dreamhost
I logged into Dreahost today to register thewlbl.com through them for hosting (my current host is about to expire). So, while I was in there I started playing in the account settings page. I went to the page that shows me how much my billing cycles are because I was curious what it would cost me next year. I changed the term from 1 year to 2 years because they said I would get 20% off. After changing it, it billed me $140, so I changed it back. It now says I owe them $70 (even though I’m paid in full). I’ve sent them an email and I am waiting for their response.
Wish me good luck,
Daniel Slaughter

Projects & About Pages
I added the Projects and About page to the navigation up-top. The Projects page contains links to downloadable scripts I have written. The About page contains a resume view of my accomplishments.
Hope bits and pieces of that helps,

It’s true, I’m not a girl (or am I?)
It was bothering me that myHeritage said my facial characteristics looked like that of a woman. So, I found a more recent picture that didn’t look so much like a baby face and gave it a shot. The results for this came back as higher percentages than the last post. My number one pick is Matt Damon (75%), followed by Christie Brinkley (75%), Missi Pyle (71%), Anna Paquin (70%), Fred Savage (70%), Laetitia Casta (70%), Jamie Bell (70%), and Mariah Carey (70%).
At least this time around it says I resemble 3 guys at higher percentages.

It’s true, I am a pretty girl (or Magic Johnson)
Eric, Dave and Ben were uploading images to a website called myHeritage to discover what actors they most resembled. I did not have an available (good) picture of myself on Friday, so I waited until I got home. To my dismay, myHeritage determined that I most resembled Julia Roberts (62%), Lauren Bacall (56%), Susan Saradon (53%), Magic Johnson (52%), and Sophia Loren (51%). There is no way I could resemble Magic Johnson, and Dave can account for that one. Now, I know I’m a little hottie, but I wasn’t aware that my facial features were best portrayed in those of females. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.
I’m beautiful, and now I can prove it,
Daniel Slaughter
