This popped into my head while chatting with Pam. Grammar corrected.

Take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd, buy me some tuna and yellowtail, fuck all tradition it can go straight to hell oh lets hit the visitors with wasabi, they won’t quite be the same, for its one, two, three spicy rolls at the ole…..ball…….game!

I’ve bought one thing from Amazon in 4 years – Not bad for my boycott – And I knowingly paid more for things locally, too. Ever since they went to bed with Toys R Us, I have been boycotting them.

Now that there might be a divorce in the works, maybe I can once again shop at Amazon.com

Are you a democrat, or interested in F 9/11? Be opened minded and check out some of these facts, such as Moore had footage of Iraqi abuse in December 03 and never reported it to the DOD, yet rails on the Bush Administration for sitting on the prison scandal. You decide for yourself, but whatever good Moore is trying to do is overshadowed by his paranoid, psychopathic self-serving agenda, when in my book is no better than if you run a country and do the same crap.

According to Techworld Mac OS X has had similar vulnerabilities in number to Windows and thus is no more secure. Whatever. Hello, most Mac OS X issues are not exploitable out of the box, I think one was.

So I wake up and find this today from The Laporte Report

The Despartment of Homeland Security warned Windows users Thursday night about a virus that can infect systems just by visiting a compromised web site. Hackers have been breaking into sites running Microsoft’s IIS web server and appending hidden Javascript to pages. When users visit the page, the Javascript code loads malicious code hosted on a Russian server.

Whatever, Techworld. Live your fantasy, I’ll keep using Mac OS X while you turn off Javascript.

I think these new meds do have an effect on me. From IRC, on installing Linux onto a Gateway AIO:

Course it could just install and work. But still, its a Gateway. Ick. I used to pass their store here when I’d get a coffee shake, often thinking if I hung around for an hour I could visit their fine establishment and allow them to discover on no undeniable terms of just how much diary and coffee affect my digestive and flatulence system.

Man this took me for what seemed like years, I kept losing and losing, rarely played it. Finally installed WC III on my G5, moved files over from the PC, and after a month and three attempts, I started over and won. I used my Hero to keep healing my units, I sent out ghouls just to piss off the other guys, I built nothing other than spirit towers around my wizard if not to damage the incoming but to delay them. I won with plenty of units as they attacked the chanter and I kept healing him

For a year now, I’ve used my Series 1 DirecTiVo with my Vonage broadband phone connection to phone DirecTV for updates and to let them know that I had not purchased any movies.

When I got home from my trip to L.A., the TiVo was telling it could not dial into DirecTV. So after some searching, and calling Vonage, I found this conversation on vonage-forums.

Essentially, this was the fix that worked:

For most series 1 DTiVos all that needs to be done is:
Enter *99 as a call waiting prefix
Enter ,#019 as a dialing prefix.

I was in NY yesterday with Carl and Elly from Cornell to talk about Fedora and TK4. Then I flew home in the afternoon and am back in L.A. Tonight is Magic, then time with my family and friends and home this weekend!

4:30am Take Matt and Roslynn to airport 9:00am Pick up rental car at airport 9:30am Take Tuxedos to Glendale, avoiding I-5/tipped over trailer mess 3:00pm Pick up Rik at the aiport and go to USC 4:40pm Pick up Tim and John at the airport at USC 8:00pm Come home and finish docs for tomorrow’s meeting

Whew!

Well my brother is married, I’m the only one home (all are still at the disneyland hotel) and I am downloading the 165 photos my friend took on my rebel to every mac in the house (three) LOL

Matt and Roslynn were married in the Rose Garden at the Disneyland Hotel last night, amidst trumpeters, horse drawn glass carriages and much other fanfare.

The ceremony was beautiful, as was the bride. The reception was held a scant jaunt over at the Paradise Pier hotel. The ballroom was adorned complete with castle and twinkling stars and a castle topped wedding cake.

Mickey and Minnie showed up for a long period of dancing and taking photos with all of the guests. They were superb! I hope Minnie was really a chick in there – I was digging her moves. rofl

Alas the party ended at 1am, the cake was taken home, mounds of gifts shuttled to the room and how they are getting them all home is beyond me!

I’ll post photos later. Speaking of which, much thanks to Scott for taking photos with my camera and to all the others who grabbed photos that included me at a wedding for a change! It is much appreciated!

TK4 was funded! Now begins the rest of the journey, completing TK4 stage 1 and 2!

TK4 will be an open source rich media content creation tool written in Smalltalk/Squeak. This project represents many new avenues of learning for me and has brought back the excitement I once had in software while doing more realtime work in Hypercard and Director, but with the advantage of a true object oriented language.

I believe this will be a defining project for my career. Stay tuned for more details as we progress!

whoa!

June 8, 2004 – Cupertino: Hot off the heels of the buzz generated by the Airport Express, Apple Computer, Inc. has announced Airport Express with Java. The AXJ will incorporate the same gold standard features as the original Airport Express while incorporating a gold filter, water hopper and wi-fi controlled press for brewing that perfect cup of hot java, waiting for you bedside in the morning. Coupled with the popular AirTunes feature, one could awaken to the sweet aroma of their favorite blend accompanied by the jingle “The best part of waking up…”

hehe
