nice, Progressive just sent me a little reminder about Mount Redoubt showing signs of eruption.
ah, back from a good SLC trip. Tired now.
January 2009
tired. failing at organizing.
watching new FFXII trailer: http://ping.fm/lwtUs
disliking when people respond to others by their comment #, not by name. I know it’s more efficient, but something is offputting.
geez, so many thoughts, unable to finish any one of them completely. Writing just is not my forte…
trying to relax.
I dont use facebook much… and I think I know why.
sigh, Digg is “headlines” are sometimes as bad as youtube commenters. Perhaps they need an audio button also (http://ping.fm/erZ45)
thinkpads…. in *space*: http://ping.fm/muQ8S
yes, the chinese restaurant is called HoHos, but it serves one of the best chinese food in town.
laptops are the new desktops. netbooks are the new laptops. so, what’s the new netbook? iPhone? Palm Pre? Something else?
supposed to be on vacation. figuring out how to get some really needed things done this week… need to grab some people for help.
time for a Todd Martin comeback Federer.
“He focused instead on fixing the economy, repairing a battered world image and cleaning up govt” makes it sound like that wasnt enough.
added a little bit more feature to an existing service. sparked by my own need to get the service working.
am I going crazy? Why is my spell checker flagging “gauge”?
very amused that the spell checker is letting me write legalese without a complaint. Really, that’s a legal word?
hmm CaseInsenitiveMap… not quite sure if it’s worth it unless you start using it from the beginning instead of transferring into it…
sigh, the week is running out so quickly… not to mention the month. Is Jan almost done already?
one fix is leading to another fix which leads to another fix. Long chain of fixes to do just to fix one small fix.
I think I’m going blind looking at my own old code… trying to make sense of crap.
stoopid password change…
hate it when working code magically stops working…
Job title @ LinkedIn for Obama: “President *at* United States of America”. flexibility fail. http://ping.fm/1lG3R
ugh, caught up in a lot of personal red tape today. trying to get it cleared out so I can get some real work done.
trying to get some movement in the VUC community. need to get them amped up about something…
ok, I think I have monit running as I want it. Now to see how well it handles.
ah, a green lawn… wait a minute. this is jan. why am I seeing a *green* lawn?
gah, caught up on feed reading for today. marking 500+ as read. bye bye. if it’s interesting, it’ll be refed.
wow, my spelling is fubar…
oh commercials, how I’ve missed thee. the *new* Knight rider is still going on?
starting the day off with a commute… to the living room. testing if I can work and enjoy a view today :)
NBC quote: “Jet blue has satelite TV on board before AirForce 1”
“The airline … reimburse the 150 passengers for … their tickets.” From http://ping.fm/IoAmf #usair
ah, the nerves are showing as he recites the oath of office. even presidents are human :)
visiting http://whitehouse.gov for the first time in *years*. Reading initial blog post. Talk about change. :)
hmm, nbc just pointed out that this may be the 4th or 5th lefty in a row. had no idea. another minority represented :)
hadn’t realized the president it a lefty.
ugh, getting bogged down today. doesnt look like I’ll get to any coding till later in the week
ah, grocery shopping @ 9am. avoiding the crowds
still warm, but at least no more wind and rain… I think.
to this day “tar” is still being security patched… you’d think by now it would be perfect :P
severe rain storm. washing all the snow away.
was a good Virtual Universe Community field trip to the Virtual Forbidden City. Good participation and questions.
not feeling the fever for new coding. Going over old code. Checking into SVN. Recapping what still needs work.
dear driveway, you are not an ice skating rink. kthxbai
it’s horrible, so not into reading document plans nowadays… my eyes just glaze over.
seriously, a +70F differential? -25F to 45F in < 2 weeks.
ok, monit installed on a few servers. hoping it’ll take care of restarting come services and keep the system alive
