T-T-Tuesday!

I really can’t think of a good way to start this one. No catchy intro or anything enlightening. The most fun part of today’s entry will probably be towards the end, so I can’t use that to start out. To start with, I’d just like to say that today was a great day. Nothing major happened, but when working for WPNI, every day is a great day!

Rob Curley finally made back into the office after being out all week last week. I hadn’t seen him since he was in Emporia giving his little talk about hyper-local web apps. It was good to see him again, especially in his natural environment. He was really excited to hear what all I had been doing and was pumped to get goin’ on some more stuff this summer. I spent the day rewriting a couple things and optimizing some code that I wrote last week.

If you haven’t noticed, I really been talking about work all that much. This is because I heard someone (Deryck I think) mention that if any blogging is done about anything even close to work related, that we would have to have some sort of disclaimer on the blog site stating that the view expressed in the blog are mine and not those of WPNI. Also I was waiting for Rob to return to discuss the blogging situation a little bit. When I get things figured out with the disclaimer and Rob, then I may mention a few more things about my job. Now back to today’s happenings…

After I finished up my code again and read through some of the source code of WPNI’s other sites (just to get familiar with their style of coding), it was time to head to the DC Nationals baseball game. A group of about 10-12 of us headed to the stadium where WPNI treated us to a game. I’m no baseball fanatic by any means, but I did enjoy going to the game. It was something that I hadn’t done since I was really young. After the game, it was back to the office for a little bit (this was around 10:30pm and then off to find some supper.

Chris and I stopped by this little restaurant called Cosi because they have outdoor seating and it was too beautiful of a night to be inside. I think we sat out there and had a sandwich-type-thing until around 11:30pm. It was really nice to just sit back, relax, and watch people walk around. The neighborhood that the office is in is really pleasant at night. It’s all pretty quiet and calm. This was all followed by a short walk home.

Now for a quick off topic comment that I’ve been meaning to make. I’d like to invite everyone who read this (however many of you there are) to leave a comment. It’s nice to see that people read it and are actually interested in what I’ve got to say. Also, if you click on through to my Flickr photos (to the right), feel free to comment on those as well. It would be really nice to see what you guy’s think! Thanks for reading!

Cheers!
