so someone i know really needs car repairs. i went to a place i knew they had gotten estimates at and asked if there was a way we could work something out. here was my plan... the repair people call them up and say they are running a promotion, like get so much free when you pay for so much to be fixed or like random price of so much work thats done free as like a promo to get more people to go there for repairs. and well they would schedule a time for this person who i'd like to call friend to drop their car off to be fixed, but instead of charging them i would have left my credit card info or just paid cash up front. i thought it would be pretty cool. i'd be helping someone out that i care about and they not feel bad for taking money and the repair shop got paid. also it would be a secret and the person would think maybe their luck was turning up and i wouldnt go ego tripping on i helped them and blah blah crap. but they said no. if i wanted to pay for the repairs its up to me and that person. eh. well they lost a couple hundred then.

so off to work to do code changes. HFStival 2005 tomorrow!! yay http://www.hfstival.com/lineup/
