Rodney Branigan - Nothing Better to Do
April 07, 2002 by Eric Richardson
Rodney Branigan is amazing. Rodney Branigan plays two guitars at once. Not holds two, and plays one, but plays two guitars at once. May 1 Rodney will be at The Cat Club on the Sunset Strip. I hope to be there.

So I've been pretty flaky updating lately. Usually this means I'm too lazy to think of stuff to type here. That's pretty pathetic when you think about it. Anyway...
- Red Elvises were great on Friday, as always.
- Last week my v3682 died, and Tuesday I finally got around to filing the insurance claim, etc. Cingular replaced it with a Motorola v60g, which rocks. Motorola finally made a cool UI. This is the phone to make Motorola competitive with Ericsson and Nokia on the UI front.
Intershop GAR
April 01, 2002 by Eric Richardson
Have I ever mentioned that I hate Intershop? I really do. For instance, right now I'm trying to set a currency based on the customer's country in a credit card data template. Simple enough of a request, but Intershop decides to make this hard. First of all, customer country isn't one of the variables they decide to define in this template. And in Intershop's favorite model -- everything's customizable except what you want to change -- these are hard-coded. Ok, no big deal, I'll look up the country based on order number. No. The order number isn't a normal TLE (variable), it's a piece of loop data, which means I have to keep count of loop positions and do a GetTLELoopData. Woo hoo! Stupid Intershop. Intershop must die.
Red Elvises. Rusty's. Tomorrow. 10pm.

Need I say more? All those in the LA area should be there, no questions asked.
mpeg4ip

The mpeg4ip project looks really interesting. Though it's been around for a little over a year now, I just ran into it the other day. It's a CISCO backed effort to create a standard protocol for video streaming. This includes the creation of a patent-free baseline codec, player, encoder, and server. Very cool stuff. I'm compiling it right now.
