Partly sunny vs. partly cloudy - posted on Monday, October 3rd 2005 11:42 pm

Monday, October 3rd, 2005: What’s the difference between partly sunny and partly cloudy? Today’s weather report shows “Warmer and partly sunny. High around 90. South wind around 10 mph” but Tuesday night is “Partly cloudy. Low in the mid 60s. South wind around 10 mph.” I thought it might have something to do with day and night, but then Sunday’s forecast shows “Partly cloudy. High around 70″ so that can’t be it. Is it just a glass is half empty/glass is half full type of thing?

Yesterday evening I was really bored and started working on some PHP stuff again, trying to customize my homepage journal a little more. I wanted to automate the updating process and have it update my RSS feed at the same time. I was painstakingly writing out this script, making sure that I had the ability to edit and delete and add pictures. I was making it so that it would look good on my Pocket PC and I’d be able to update from there. I did all of this same stuff just a few month earlier and it worked great. But it was all written in Perl and I changed to a webhost that only offered PHP so I mostly have to start over. Then I realized that this is all really stupid. Why don’t I just use LiveJournal, which already has all these cool features that I’m trying to build myself, and embed their code into my homepage. I suddenly don’t understand my strange desire to build everything myself. So that’s what I did - screw learning how to program. Here’s my LiveJournal.

So this is great! Now I have lots of extra free time since I won’t be so busy working on PHP scripts! I can use all this spare time to…

Dammit!
