Chicago Gyros & Deli 2006-11-22 13:11:00 - By: Dan

If you head North up Glenstone past Commercial, just after you pass under the railroad bridge on the east (right) side of the road is Chicago Gyros & Deli. It is in what used to be a burger drive through, and it looks pretty rough on the outside, but they make great tasting, greasy Gyros. Five bucks gets you one of these babies, and they are packed with tender lamb, big chunks of tomato, thinly sliced onion, with tasty Tzatziki sauce all wrapped in a pita to soak up all the goodness. For 2 bucks more you get a heaping handful of seasoned fries and a drink. It ain't the healthiest meal, but it is really good... and the girl that works there is cute too. If you haven't tried it, consider this my official recommendation. They also have other dishes to go that sound good, but I haven't tried any of them yet. However, I have heard from a couple reliable sources that their Bacon Double Cheese Burger is awesome.

New Bond = Old Bond + Bourne Identity 2006-11-22 11:09:00 - By: Dan

I had the opportunity to enjoy the newest Bond film Casino Royale the other day and I must say I was very impressed. Take the witty and clever Bond your used to, and add the action and realism from Bourne Identity and you have the new Bond. Great action sequences where Bond isn't only kicking ass, but getting his ass kicked in the process. That's not something you saw in the previous Bonds. Sure, he would get captured and slapped around a bit, but it wasn't realistic. Here, it is much more believable, and Bond isn't some wussy guy in a tux with a tiny pistol sipping martini's and looking all sharp all the time. Sure, he does a little of all that, but he's one tough bastard that fights dirty, is resourceful, and is (again) believable. I would not have a problem believing someone like this guy exists. I have always been a fan of Bond, but I think this is the best thing to happen to the character since he was created.

Different style... still kinda plain 2006-11-21 12:55:00 - By: Dan

I threw together another style/look. You'll notice it says AtomicBaboon.net... that's because that is a new domain name I bought because I thought it was funny... and stuff... anyway. I can't exactly see if everything for my style is here... there should be an atom looking logo in the upper left, and some gray boxes with rounded corners around my entries here. If you happen to read this and everything look like it is there based on what I have just described, please leave a comment and let me know. I will check it when I get home, but it would be nice to know before then. Also, tell me if it totally sucks. Thanks.

Top 20 Programming Languages (via digg) 2006-11-20 14:20:00 - By: Dan

Interesting list of the top 20 programming languages. It's interesting to see Python listed above C#. I was also surprised to see D on there. I have heard of it but I didn't realize it was that popular. It would be interesting to see a list like that taking for specific regions of our country, or the world for that matter. I think the list would look a little different for the Mid-Western United States. I would expect to see RPG in there. Blog: Top 20 Programming Languages.

Oooof... me no likey 2006-11-18 01:09:00 - By: Dan

I don't like this style. It is plain and ugly. I need to come up with something else.

This has been fun 2006-11-17 23:07:00 - By: Dan

Well, this has been pretty interesting. Django is really really easy to use. For having written a very small amount of code I have a fairly functional blog. It will be really easy to add more features to it to. I need to add support for trackbacks, generate RSS and Atom feeds, add Digg links (not that anyone would Digg anything I have, but what the heck.) I will probably try to use delicious for my "Other" links as well and have it e-mail me when someone leaves a comment. Lot's of room to add stuff. At some point I need to make the comment system more robust to attempt to thwart comment spammers. I also need to be able to save entries as drafts before publishing them and all that. Lots to do still, but this works for now.
