Book recommendation needed
Jesus knew—knew—that we're carrying the Kingdom of Heaven around with us, inside, where we're all too goddam stupid and sentimental and unimaginative to look? You have to be a son of God to know that kind of stuff.
--J. D. Salinger
Friday morning: had breakfast and beer from Pecos. Mikhail: bacon and eggs only on weekends. Living without beer is kinda difficult. First thing I did after reaching Bombay: bought four pints. :-)
Went shopping today at Inorbit. I wanted to buy a Magpie ash tray. (Magpie is an Indian company, by the way. Never knew that.) Found ash trays, but didn’t find what I was looking for—I wanted the one I had seen at Ruby Tuesday.
Well.
I have been waiting to read The Five People You Meet In Heaven. Unfortunately, my colleague hijacked that one. I picked up Diary today. Say, could you recommend a book that belongs to the, so to say, Salinger genre?
Bro bought a 1:24 Ford Mustang GT from Model Art. Tahir: They’ve got showrooms in Inorbit in Bombay, and Forum in Bangalore.
Uploadr
So I added an Upload class to flickr-ruby. So, now you can do cool things like this:
upload = Upload.new
upload.upload('some-pic.jpg', 'title', 'description',\
['some', 'tags', 'eh?'])
Returns a Photo object on successful upload. Returns 0 otherwise.
The screenshot (should that be a word?) that you see is a simple (it’s a dialog box, for God’s sake!) application I wrote, using wxRuby, that basically can be used to upload pictures to Flickr. (I’m at home, Windows thus. Boy, I miss my cube!) Boy, writing GUI applications is such a pain. You know, sometimes you just have to love REBOL.
Boy, Flickr (now) being a Yahoo! property means more reason for me to play with it, no?
I guess I should sleep for a while.
