I like you know the girl the the Eldridge Street wanted one wanted today so theyre like how much does it cost how long does it take? Im like well, we could do something really simple that could take one day or we could do something amazingly complex that could take a year, you know, I mean what I cant say that, I have to see what it is. People always ask me that its so not answerable in in any kind of a way. So, you know, like this woman Im doing this job for the NYU thing. Shes got fifteen hundred bucks to spend I said look that will get us started. I said Ill be honest with you I said cause shes gonna want an estimate for more work I said you know I end up if this ends up taking me a lot longer than I think, then my estimate is gonna be much higher the next time around. But if it doesnt, you know, my estimate will be lower. Fifteen hundred bucks I can I mean I know I can whip that off, you know, if I worked full time for a week if I worked five days straight on it I can, you know, I mean I can have it done like that, you know, thats 40 hours and 1500 dollars a week, thats really good money, thats like 40 35 bucks an hour. So, you know, but... that seats a little bit scuzzed up? Who. So at this thing I dont think theyre gonna be asking how much does it cost I mean everybodys whos there knows what it costs. I mean people will be like oh Im looking for a designer I have a client. I dont know, I dont know what its gonna be. Im not really feeling like a thousand percent up for this kind of thing, right. What? I had a talk with your father. That was that was funny. About you guys hold it, you know, you kids you and your mother putting one pea back in the refrigerator. Did you talk to anybody today about plans did you speak to Greece did you speak to France? He was really nutty huh? Was he busy? I guess he wasnt really busy not not much to do but sit around and gossip New Age with you? Thats not a good sign. Was the phone ringing off the hook? Did you take a test? Did he like your portfolio?

Its really pretty pretty remarkable. I like that, you know. That guy, I mean the Rocky Mountain High guy was just a bummer. His whole thing was a bummer. If it hadnt been for that odd encounter, but I guess thats New York. That was such a that was such a memorable thing. That was as good as the as the swinger as the swinger. We see some funny shit on the subway, yeah. We like the subway, dont we? We gotta look for some cabinet. We gotta look for some cabinets for our cabinet. Well, I may I may I may. Fancy place.

That youve got to register it? No, this one was coming up every time. Yeah. Oh yeah. Right. Yeah yeah then just hit it down then release it out. I tried like six different ways of doing it and it never worked.

Enough is enough already. Find out, yeah. Because if that was the case then anybody was is restarting without their extensions who is holding down a shift key... No seriously, I mean then anybody its gotta be theres got to be some other trick. I thought it made it made it look groovy enough, you know?

But is says that that was Total New Yorks site. Space. Where was that? Was that upstairs? Whos in the background? Were you in the background? Why are you guys cleaning so desperately? Did you clean too? Did you clean your area? I would love walking in there and seeing all you guys with Windex bottles. I think its so adorable that everybody The Primary Group has got to clean. The one will go. The one will take us, uh, to the Knitting Factory. Lets see. Wheres... yeah, you guys are tiny. You can count as one. Cheryl, I think Claudia may may be tinier. How how are you whos tinier. Cheryl are you tinier than Claudia? Oh, no. Shes 5-2. Andrea and Viv. Youre were all about the same size. I saw Maya she said she she was coming yeah she was that was nice. She said she just had lunch with you. It looks good but I had the I had to get the, uh, what is that that silly new browser called from Netscape, that preview thing that alph, what is it, Alpha or Atlas. Yeah, I had I had, well, its Java. 2.0.1 does not does not have Java. 2.0.1? For what, for what? 2.0.1? No, its not I mean I have it it doesnt it never goes. I had to what 2.0.1? What do you think? What do you mean its beyond you. I thought you... The what? I got 2.0.1 and it doesnt have the it doesnt have the its not Java enabled so I have to get do you have Open Transport 1.1? One you have 7.5.3? How do you like 7.3? Is it stable? I am. I love it. Really. 7.3? Is it? This is good Im gonna really? Im gonna do this. Well, Im gonna Im gonna Im gonna get Im gonna do this because 7.5.2 is real shaky and I need to see Cheryls piece on that Java enabled thing which only runs with 1.1. Actually I spend half my day downloading software. No no no Im gonna have somebody do it Im not gonna put Im not gonna do it myself. Im not going to yeah, but I, yeah, but what? Cause you have reinstall 7.5.2, a fresh copy of 7.2. Oy vey. Ill pay someone. OK, come over! Come over, Viv! Of course I have a Zip Drive. What kind of question is that? I do. Alright, you wanna come over? What are you doing after work tomorrow? You have nothing else to do, see? So, Claudia the numbers and the versions and all this are not part of your domain? The problem I find with the with 7.2 and the Open Transport 1.0.8 is that once you I can get up and stay up forever, sounds like sex, but once I go down, I just cant get back up again. Its true. I mean, its true. Do you have that problem? Like youve got to restart your whole machine if you wanna just jump back on again? It just doesnt that just I heard 1.1 Open Transport 1.1 fixes that. I had to talk to the techie and I was like, I can get up once and I, you know... I was like. No but I did it just felt like I can, you know, it was really weird. It was really strange. So I I find it so bothersome because all day long all Im doing all Im doing is is is starting and restarting my goddamned machine a thousand times a day. No no. Im glad to hear you have that problem, I mean, not glad for you but Im glad to hear it. Its nice, no, dont dont take it personally. Its not like a personal thing. Seriously. You do you do a good job of keeping your computer clean. I know, why me? I always feel like, why me? I get this victim mentality, like, maybe I should just get a maybe I should just get a Windows machine. So then, what do you what do you do you design the sites? Which is really nice. Beautiful. I really like it. Cheryl. Can we buy tokens, Cheryl? Yes. So so what happened then? How do you finish? So now youre. Oh so youre not youre not like working there full time youre like freelancing at Total? Primary. Good name. And youre in charge? Congratulations.
