NVU 1.0 PR

Glazou needs some credit on his accomplishment for a 1.0 PR release. It looked pretty solid on the Mac. The one thing I noted was the prefs window appeared slightly to small (horizontally) cutting off a few things, and the same for the “ping us so we can count our users” window.
If you [...]

About Time

About time. The fact a bill filled with so much “common sense” even needs to be proposed just shows how many morons exist in this country. You’d think someone who feels their religion prohibits them from performing their duties would choose another career. You don’t see Hindu’s refusing to serve Big Mac’s™ [...]

A Boring Day

Spent most of the afternoon working on my Principles of System Design Project (crossing another off the todo list).
Also hacked up a really cool toy that you will see hopefully in the next couple of days.
Next up is a History of American Art paper.

Round Two

I beat all the press to the first of a new type of company. I’m still pretty early at this one.
Round Two. Bart Decrem is at it again.
Best of luck to him.

Hard Head

At the Yankee game today Pavano got hit in the head with a rather hard hit. Couldn’t see at the time that it was to the head though. They never replayed it on the screen (a sign it was a bad hit). Saw Joe Torre run out rather quick, so you knew [...]

Mac Mini is online

I got my Mac Mini back today. Bliss. Airport Extreme/Bluetooth card for $99+tax. I decided to officially name the system “mini me”. I’m having fun already, though I got to get some sleep, and go back to school tomorrow… looking forward to the next time I get to play with my [...]

Fun with Todo Lists week of 10/11

Every so often it becomes necessary to make a todo list public so I actually feel motivated. Without further delay:

Finally write that cheesy International Business Paper (4 pages double spaced, on pretty much anything) [4/14/05]
Finally write that History of American Art Paper (no clue how long, more complex, and really boring)… this is long [...]

Mac Mini Getting Wired Up

Called the Apple Store this morning and they got a “limited quantity” of Mac Mini Airport Kits after all my waiting. Went there today and there were 2. So I got one and they took mini-me to get it installed. It should be done by tomorrow. Ends up being $99 + [...]

Daylight Savings Extended?

I’m curious what the tech community thinks about extending Daylight Savings Time. Daylight Savings has long been a pain in any developers side as it varies depending on timezone (and sometimes country). It’s the reason why many webApps stick to GMT or UTC, rather than allow users to customize to their own timezone. [...]
