When I was a kid, I wanted to use a DayRunner just like my dad, mom, and the other adults I knew. I blocked off whole days like this in scribbly 10-year-old pencil: [SCHOOL] [lunch] [SCHOOL] [dinner] [um .. COMPUTER] Sometimes I would go so far as to try to vaguely plan tomorrow. “Mom, are […]

UPDATE 2006.02.27: In iTunes 6.0.3, Apple seems to have put a band-aid on the problem by making all the speaker outputs obey the main iTunes volume.

This code crashes Safari 2.0 (412), the build included in Mac OS X 10.4.1. I’ve no idea why. If you type something in the field and then click or tab away, Safari (or any other WebCore instance) instantly freezes and/or quits.

Tim was all proud of himself for composing a haiku away message: I have Time to kill- What ever shall I do now? Play some basketball. So I countered with my own: My work is postponed. Sitting at the computer I am eating lunch. And the following conversation ensued (edited for punctuation and IM line […]
Meme’d by the lovely Aelki. One can never have too many books (much like toilet paper). Number of books I own: Well, there are 220 on the two shelves pictured (not counting the books in the reflection). I have a bunch more in boxes, and five more are sitting on my desk right now. See […]
