MP3 Relaunch

Woohoo. MP3 has relaunched. I'd say 50% (at least) of the code has been redone. This has been a long month. I have now been in the office for 21 days straight.

Mexican Vinge Hound

Marty My Dog Marty Since symlink is showing his dogs I thought I'd post mine. This is Marty he is a "Mexican Vinge Hound". They are indiginous to Mexico, weigh in at 14 lbs, and typically hunt in packs of 30 vinge hounds. Dont let the cute face fool you... this one is a armpit biter. Dont try and sit on him either, Snide learned that one.

My Toy Store.

Figured I would blatantly promote my personal toy store DaoJonz. I built this site about 3 months before I joined CNET. But as soon as I started working here, it was clear I didnt have time to run the store. So this is the last of the inventory. And I disabled the Visa checkout, but the paypal checkout still works. Man am I busy. The site has gone through some re-desings, Snide did the design for this current iteration (he'll prolly say I butchered his design). Anyhoo, DaoJonz will prolly be taken down completely later this year. Well at least it helped land me this job!

Efficiency

roundaboutRoundabout I hate sitting at traffic lights when no one else is even around. Sitting, waiting for that damn light to turn green. Specially frustrating at stops with 5,6,7 roads merging from obtuse angles, as happens in city's like San Francisco. Back in 97 I lived in England -- straight outta college -- and worked as a Pizza Hut Delivery driver for some time. I mastered the Round A Bout! And let me tell you if I can master that S.O.B while driving on the wrong side of the road, then people here can get the hang of it driving on the right side of the road.

TVTome switch

Last night I slept at work again. This time behind the couch on the floor. Ballgame took the couch. The TVTome redirect to TV.com was an awesome amount of traffic to instantly contend with. Looks like the team has come through again. I love my TV.com team.

Day 2

Yesterday I got home at 3 pm after being at work for 30 hours straight. --- When we launched on Wednesday night (Thurs AM)... I only slept for a few hours UNDER my desk. Made a little fort, sleeping behind my computers. So yesterday I got home at 3 and slept for 2 hours then got up and started surfing TV.com. I went to bed at 1am after playing Halo II online for 3 hours. I was wired. But today I am dead tired! TV.com ROCKS! Proud of my TV.com TEAM!

My First Post

Hey everyone! I am a software engineer here at TV.com. If you are on a page of the site and it rocks, that could be because I coded that page. *wink* Anything in flash, me.
