Ash Wednesday Blues

This is my third trip on the Carnival ride, and I must say it is quite the spirited fling. A season within, where only the most daring veterans of base consumption remain calm. I have yet to reach the paramount of the holiday. My liver, kidneys, and lungs rise in mutiny against me to stop me from maintaining through out a solid 5 day strait bender. Getting back into the groove of work sound highly appealing at this point in time. Normally you judge the quality of time off but the time on. If your soul purpose in life is to stay coherent and drinking for 5 days you start to look forward to your time off, working as it were at that point, sort of like working for the weekend, but with out all that ’80s.

Beads, Booze, and Bemusement

Ok so I couldn’t make it through the entirety of the first weekend of Mardi Gras. I’m not feeling in good shape today. I am feeling in a shape, but that shape is vulgar, sad, and hedious, and should stay in dark corners. Am I not human? Do I not need to sleep? It’s been on since Friday at 6 o’clock. Two 4 a.m. mornings in a row will humble even the most seasoned of drunks. But when you start at noon it’s and entirely new ballgame.

Enter the marathon party. This Sunday we will call a wash. I will recover, rehydrate, and relax. But this coming Wednesday, the 14th, at 6 o’clock p.m. it starts again. Mardi Gras or bust. 7 strait days of parades and party come this Wednesday.

New Styles Abound

Just finished, and I say that cautiously, tweaking the Redoable 1.1 styles to fix my aesthetic. I am very pleased with the way things turned out. All of those CSS books I have been putting off reading have payed off. I have been pushing pixels and hatching ideas for the past week. I’m not quite sure what lit the fire under my ass, but I plan to work my fingers to stumpy bones before I fall out again.

SXSW Interactive Confrence

I just booked my registration, flight, hotel, and rental for SXSW! My company is flippin the bill for the senior multimedia designer and I to fly out for the Interactive portion of the confrence March 9th through the 13th. I mean we may not be flying first class but I get my own room and the rental is in my name. The only way that I could be possible more excited about this is if I actually got to stay through the music portion.

Stay tuned for some updates and posts from the show.

About

Allan Kukral:

allan kukralI’m a interactive designer/programmer. Originally I hail form the cold land of Chicago, but as recently as December, 2004, I relocated to the Big Easy, where I have been working since.

My B.A. is in Digital Media Technology which only meant to compliment the skills and practices that I had been acquiring as an employee of a design firm and a programming firm, throughout my college career. The ideals that I strive to exemplify in my work now include, but are in now way limited to: standards compliance, device independence, interface and navigation, interaction design, usability and user experience. Although, I’m reasonably adept at working with what I’m given, my personal tools of the trade are xhtml, css, actionscript, most adobe software, things some people still call macromedia, a cork screw and a tooth pick.

When I’m not busy feeling ways about stuff, I pay bills by working at a New Orleans interactive agency Netcom. On the weekends I practice grifting between freelance jobs. I spend an inordinate time in bars and watching Adult swim, in between frequent and violent boughts of dart playing, golden tee, eating, sleeping, and mild self-preservation.

Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender

I am officially spam. I was wholly unprepared for the first newsletter sent from the Kingpin. Not only was I using my own email address as the “from address,”but I was also not aware of the process or the taxation on my GridServer, or the shit storm fall out entailed in mass mailing. I am frightened on what this could mean for my server and it’s already low web status. The last thing I need to be is the IP address of Bar spam. I am not looking forward to removing manually 200 bunk email addresses from my database. UG! I can’t believe I used my own address. OH GOD MAKE IT END! I suppose if drunk people could spell their email addresses we would live in some utopia.

God Bless Bar-Fi

As a bar fly, the most underrated and invaluable service you can offer to a patron of your bar is a broadband access to wi-fi. Brilliant. What a beautiful day and age when I can site comfortably on my padded stool, drink my over priced domestic beer, watch my Simpsons, have a smoke and browse ye ol’ intertron, all while maintaining the utmost of bar cooool.If you could figure out a way to get me a power outlet that I can’t spill a beer in and some more elbow room this would be the most idea situation.
