I did something I really hadn't done in a long while. I pulled an all-night coding run. I've been fiddling with the source code of my LJ client on my laptop, and I've managed to get some cool shit done:
1. I customized the logon screen with according to personal preferences with my LJ user icon instead of the ugly logo that was there.
2. The password is now sent encrypted, not in plaintext
3. I coded a module that polls my friend page every 10 minutes to see if there's any new activity. Sadly, I'm doing it by screen-scraping – which is frowned upon – but there's no other way. Besides, I probably check my blog manually more often than that when I'm in front of my laptop.
Things to do:
– get the damn cookie auth to work
– close the webReqs, as it's not being done
– get some sleep
…i came home from the pflasterspektakel at 6:30 this morning. of course, yesterday i had agreed to drive my grandad shopping at 9:00 (well, originally my brother agreed to it, but then realised he wouldn't be here to do it as he was going to a party… bravo!).
which basically means i had 2 hours of sleep, some coffee, a round of shopping, a hot bath and another 90 minutes of sleep, lunch, and now i'm ready to leave for the spektakel again. well, as ready as i get in this slightly fuzzy (yes, fuzzy) frame of mind…
i DID get two cans of iced coffee for this afternoon. wonder how long they're going to last… :-D

yowza! 6:30?! What were you doing? What kind of shows did you take in? As for me, I was in the bus at 9:30, so that's roughly 3 hours of sleep :) I feel your fuzziness :) What are the shows you're seeing tonight?
Toodles, and have fun :D

Excuse my complete lack of tech-savvyness, but how were you able to post from the bus? O_o I mean how were you connected to teh net?

*chuckle*
I didn't post from the bus – I just wrote the entry. When I connected from my parents' place, the message was automatically sent.
