Ah, ceiling, we meet again. Details of the last couple weeks to follow when I can find time to write them. In brief: Trigger pulled. It’s officially too late to back out now. WTF am I smoking. It sounds like HAL is, most likely, hired and moving out here. Quite possibly coming to live with…

Beat
Quick update: HAL, a friend and former college roommate from Back Home (or close), is going to be in Boston this weekend for a job interview on Friday. I’d like to drag him around the city a bit and introduce him to my friends. What are people doing this weekend? Looks like I have a…

Micro-update
Yeah, so I’m probably buying a house in a couple weeks. “I…wait, what?” Yeah, that’s what I said this morning too. Anyway, as some of you know, one of my best friends in Boston, GJM, is pulling up anchor less than 2 weeks from now, moving to Tejas, and putting his place on the market.…

Das Blinkenlichten
[Clicky here for big photo album] Heh, yeah, a little late writing this one. I was meaning to write this up…like, a couple months ago, right after the “public beta”, but didn’t get around to it. So some friends and I had tickets to the Boston leg of the VNV Nation Judgment tour, April 18.…

Hey, hey, hey, I’m quilty / And you’re quilty too

Wicked Smaht idea of the day – re: sucky office suites
AutoCrossreference So I’m at the office writing up some BS in MS Word and I’ve just typed “(blah blah blah) as shown in Figure…”, because I’m about to refer to a figure. Now to make a crossreference. I select crossreference, the window pops up and defaults to “Table”. WTF? With a modern computer’s gigahertz of…

Pissy
I’ve been in a pissy mood for a while. I guess it just kind of happens from time to time, for reasons not entirely known. It’s that state of bored and aimless, non-productive, irritable and wanting to stay in bed avoiding people. Probably more of a random-emotional-state thing, but here are some specific things that…

Looks like I have a new project for next week, once this weeks messy proposals nastiness is out of the way. A staffer at a Russian ISP tipped me off to an old malware company learning a new trick, with essentially a distributed, keyboard-watching spy network turning your typos into gold in the form of…

Toilettesitz nicht fuer gewerken bei das dumbkopfen
Found this on ye olde slashdot today: The Social Norm of Leaving the Toilet Seat Down: A Game Theoretic Analysis Nothing I haven’t said before of course, but their version invokes game theory and your calculator. Now, I have some questions: 1) Does anyone actually make a big issue of toilet seat state (i.e. the…
