is on the train, headed to work, wishing I were anywhere else.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 30, 2009 at 7:29:41 PM
@effloresense yow. Get good drugs and feel better soon.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 28, 2009 at 8:51:38 PM
is getting really tired of these eleven-and-a-half hour days. Kill me now.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 28, 2009 at 12:44:17 PM
is trying really really hard not to have a panic attack
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 27, 2009 at 7:10:15 PM
@polaroidgirl Cool hat. I think maybe I like the Vernors pin in the background a little better, though :-)
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 27, 2009 at 11:05:15 AM
is getting a lower rate on our refi loan than expected. Yay us!
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 26, 2009 at 9:14:15 PM
has admitted defeat and gone home. On the train now.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 25, 2009 at 12:43:22 AM
just submitted this week's timesheet: 70 hours. Shoot me now.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 24, 2009 at 11:35:52 PM
@surlyshirley damn. Way too young to "die in his sleep". Dude was *my* age.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 24, 2009 at 7:32:24 PM
just finished shooting my first roll of film through my new Eximus Wide and Slim. Hope to develop tonight and see what the photos are like.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 24, 2009 at 9:05:00 AM
@Suw because the vinyl walkman was a bit unwieldy and difficult to carry on the tube or a bus?
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 24, 2009 at 9:03:43 AM
would pay good money to see Maureen Dowd eaten alive by ants
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 23, 2009 at 7:01:54 PM
hates taking the train on weekends. Too damned many tourists making too much noise.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 23, 2009 at 9:49:27 AM
just called @mert to wish him a happy birthday. I don't know how people can use mobiles in public; I could barely hear him while walking
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 23, 2009 at 8:24:21 AM
is at the train station headed to work. On a Saturday. On a holiday weekend. Beat me with a stick.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 22, 2009 at 5:09:27 PM
hopes everyone went home already so the train will be empty.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 21, 2009 at 10:54:20 PM
is so fucking pissed at Outlook's web interface. I spent an hour writing up an e-mail, it timed out, and now I've lost the e-mail. Fuckers!
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 20, 2009 at 8:44:45 PM
is on the 8:41 Super Local train home. They make up new stops just to have more places to stop.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 20, 2009 at 6:35:20 PM
really hopes that background gradients go out of style, like, yesterday. Please please please please please.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 19, 2009 at 6:41:56 PM
just saw a pink Mini Cooper limousine go by. Pity I didn't have my camera ready.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 18, 2009 at 2:33:23 PM
@burningbird yes, it could have been a lot worse. You could have been trapped in the car while it spread to the engine and beyond. Lucky you
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 18, 2009 at 10:12:07 AM
@polaroidgirl you'll just have to eat more to make more room for film. :-)
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 17, 2009 at 1:39:00 PM
@surlyshirley I feel no ambivalence. I don't friend anyone on FB from HS I didn't like or don't remember. Period.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 16, 2009 at 9:19:18 AM
@doublesided to get a lower interest rate and pay off the mortgage more quickly. We'll be able to cut 5 years and $200/month.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 16, 2009 at 7:44:55 AM
finally finished applying for a loan to refinance our mortgage. Yay us!
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 15, 2009 at 8:03:55 PM
is on the train after making an appearance at tonight's bacchanal
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 15, 2009 at 4:56:10 PM
thinks that when the boss brings you a beer on Friday afternoon, you drink.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 15, 2009 at 4:49:38 PM
^ @dylanw I don't live here; I just work here, and do my best to get out of here as early as possible most days. :-)
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 15, 2009 at 4:01:13 PM
^ @hansv damn, sorry I missed you while you were in town. Next time!
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 15, 2009 at 1:28:44 PM
is hiding in the park, enjoying lunch, and chilling before heading back to the office for my 2pm meeting. http://yfrog.com/5dtvaj
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 14, 2009 at 3:01:01 PM
is putting together an explanation of Hijax for programmers who don't understand. Oh lazyweb, any suggestions for Hijax-enabled web apps?
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 13, 2009 at 5:26:51 PM
@dylanw does the Wodtke book still include the case study about the CEO ordering changes to his site based on his dreams?
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 13, 2009 at 11:23:01 AM
wishes Twitter worked over https so that when friends use terms that might upset our sysadmins, they can't see them (hi, @iheni :-)
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 12, 2009 at 9:00:13 PM
@maupuia Team Australia's site looks pretty interesting. I'm a big fan of WordPress error messages. :-) Hope they get it straightened soon.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 12, 2009 at 12:03:07 PM
@dylanw you're a year older than when you put that up, right? Definitely time to move to second grade.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 11, 2009 at 5:58:33 PM
is doing his best to remain invisible. Clients in the office means the proles have to stay in hiding.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 11, 2009 at 3:24:45 PM
just wrote an answer to an e-mail from a client claiming a page I just delivered is inaccessible. Not if you implement it the way I sent it.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 11, 2009 at 10:47:57 AM
is looking for a simple intro to WCAG 2.0 (simpler than W3's Understanding WCAG 2.0). Oh mighty lazyweb, any suggestions?
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 11, 2009 at 6:56:43 AM
@doublesided only a little bit? I find being found by people I apparently knew in high school freaks me out a lot. Don't remember half of em
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 10, 2009 at 2:19:51 AM
is getting really tired of this insomnia. Bleah.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 8, 2009 at 1:24:47 PM
is out shooting Polaroids. Today's combo: the 250 loaded with 667 (3000 speed black and white)
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 7, 2009 at 12:35:09 PM
@dylanw If I'm really optimistic, I'd hope for 2032 for HTML5; I should definitely be retired by then. :-)
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 7, 2009 at 10:00:36 AM
@lachlanhardy @scenariogirl congratulations on your adoption of Crunchie. Saw that one coming a mile off... :-)
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 7, 2009 at 7:27:08 AM
forgot his wallet at home. Oops. Lucky for me, @JerseyGrrrl is bringing it to me, but I'll miss the train I was trying to catch.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 7, 2009 at 3:45:03 AM
is getting really tired of seeing 3 am. I look forward to a time when I can sleep through the night again. Bleah.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 6, 2009 at 4:16:21 PM
at this rate, it would be quicker to fly to California to attend the meeting in person
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 6, 2009 at 4:14:48 PM
wonders if there's ever been anything to waste more time in meetings than LiveMeeting
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 5, 2009 at 9:19:16 PM
on top of the commute from hell (3 hours to get home), when I got home, I find that the package UPS says they delivered isn't here. Fuck.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 5, 2009 at 8:05:32 PM
8:04 - 6:18 = one hour and forty-six minutes late.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦- 🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 5, 2009 at 8:03:51 PM
is finally about to board his train home.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 5, 2009 at 5:20:31 PM
just got shanghaied into a 6 pm call. So much for leaving early tonight.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat May 4, 2009 at 7:12:56 PM
stopped waiting for the chairperson to join the call or an operator to join to assist me. I'm going home.

@sniffles how long are you going to be in NYC?
