Well this is certainly an unexpected development
Posted on: Tue Mar 20, 2007 07:44 AM
I don't know what...wow...just, I don't know where to begin. After studying for a few hours, I get back online to check my e-mail when lo! I get an e-mail from an individual interested in my talents as a web developer!
This individual, I'll call him "Ilya" because thats his name, contacted me saying he'd heard of Unleashed creativity from a post I made on the XKCD forums, and that he was interested in me based on the fact that I had the initiative to create a blogging system from scratch during my free time. I'm more than a bit flattered that someone outside of my group of friends approved of my work, as I never really expected anyone outside of the usual visitors to really think anything about this site if they came across it...after all, its not like I live an engaging life that everyone would be interested in!
At this moment, I don't know any more than you now know about this project, as its in internal alpha and is surrounded by a heavy layer of mystery and suspense. I sent a response to get the ball rolling, and as things develop between myself and Ilya, I'll keep you guys in the loop!
On a completely unrelated note, and without going into too much detail about how I found this out, Windows Mobile has a strange way of calculating coordinates when the stylus is moved across the screen. For reasons unknown to me, WM only reports coordinates in increments of two (2). Am I not making any sense? Let me elaborate:
1. When I tap down and hold on the screen, my stylus is reported to be at the coordinates (34,34)
2. If I move the stylus up so that the coordinates change once, the new location of my stylus is (32,34)
3. If I then move the stylus to the right so the coordinates change values once, the new coordinates are (32,36)
Weird, huh? I'll reveal why this is a bad thing in a later post, but for now, just know that I've got my work cut out for me!
Wish me luck, too! I've got two finals this week, Japanese tomorrow and Business on Thursday, and I've got my work cut out for me if I want to get good grades on both of them. Now, back to studying!

I'm sure that if you'd call Microsoft they would say "It's fixed in the next version" (which will not run on your ppc :P).
Good luck with the Ilya thing, has he already seen knwd.us, I think that is a way better testament to your m4d CSS skillz than this blog ( http://www.knwd.us )
