thanks worthless customer support. write question via email, get automated reply back asking to call them.
ugh, slowly realizing that the core concept of the code I’m working on is flawed… back to the drawing board.
ugh, wanting to get back to working on some half baked services I’ve had in the wings.
ever get that feeling while writing code that this has already been done somewhere, yet you still want to continue?
hmm, -16F this morning. nice and chilly.
a good year end wrapup from @wilw : http://ping.fm/rw2f5 be nice to be able to write coherently enough to do that.
never a surprise for wired’s vapor ware #1: http://ping.fm/P8VLH
yay for automated message systems: “-993 days till password expiration”
sigh. as usual, always nice to return from break to find a dead server…
ah, good to be back home :)
ah, getting ready to wrap up #nyc time. back home tomorrow. weather seems good :)
I think it’s time. Unfollowing @failwhale.
oh, the storm @edbrill must be weathering: http://ping.fm/KZSIg :)
very bored by all these twitter based apps out there…
back from a day out in the city. yes, a real city. bonus for chrysler and empire state lit up at night from train ride home.
ah, NYC traffic, horrendous as usual. But did get a glimpse of Battery park waterfront buildings and statue of Liberty, always a plus.
hmm, pidgin not logging in for me… resorting to posting via ping.fm site. good enough.
finally caved. created background for twitter. image “taken” from an artist’s site. Attribution given, but didnt explicitly ask. let’s see.
following some TdF folks to see what’s going to be up for this summer (@lancearmstrong @ghincapie @johanbruyneel). yes, limited scope.
some people are apparently mistaking immersion for realism. not the same thing.
hello #nyc :)
a nice quiet VUC Friday Fieldtrip today. Back to the internal OpenSim grid to see a new build. Got a few people, idle chitchat.
dear yahoo, you tried once to upgrade mail classic to some ajaxy bastardization and failed. why havent you learned? stop it.
yahoo is really fubaring their mail system nowadays. first the poor ajax attempt, now getting a blank screen…
version 2 of the eventing service for Metaverse is up and live. Lots of ideas to fork off of that concept :)
so, anyone know why cringely is done with PBS? http://ping.fm/Z3dTK need the 140 char summary.
hmm, just realizing that if someone @ replies to me but I’m not listed first, it wont show up in my replies stream… #fail.
on the internal OpenSim Grid instance. small pre holiday meeting today.
that’s random. Twhirl’s refusing to log me in. can’t install any AIR apps. cant update AIR (Linux). Something went funky on my machine.
yahoo just tried to enhance the classic mail with some ajaxy magic to total pwnage. There’s a reason why I’m still on classic yahoo… #fail
tally from Sat’s geminid meteor shower: 9 trails seen, 3 of them nice fireballs. All from the comfort of the indoors. :)
karma points are a far deadlier and misguided weapon/concept than it should be… must resist pressure…
mmm, right timing. just saw a meteor flash down the sky behind the mountains. pretty nice and bright.
falling into the trap of reading youtube comments…. must… keep… brain… from… logic…
searching online for some needed hardware upgrades. specifically #harddisks and a decent #laptop.
ah, welcome to the brightest night of the year: http://ping.fm/XMa7e
the world is glowing a mystical blue tonight. wow.
dear companies, I cannot emphasize how much credit you can earn by having really nice and helpful receptionists/phone staff.
yikes, 4 days turnaround time to get skis sharpened….
Dragonball trailer: http://ping.fm/uCxDW it is *definitely* americanized almost beyond recognition.
hmm, a nice chilly -16C atm. Or so says the weather widget.
nice full moon. clear sky. one of the brightest nights I’ve ever seen.
And the #hackday results have been announced! Congrats to the winning entries!
starting the process to get nominees for the next virtual universe community guildmaster term. anyone interested? :)
yes, late to the party, but finally saw the Dark Knight. Very nice. Tops Iron Man easily.
sigh, checking machine. slow. load @ 2.05. Must kill off the process and restart it. Yet to figure out the culprit.
finally compiling together the #hackday winners page. Look for it soon. Really mean it this time… srsly.
ah, morning… um, early morning…
oh nice, FMA Season2: http://www.hagaren.jp/ (#anime)
hanging out in SL on Hursley island for a change.
