Greatest quote ever from Gordon Ramsay during last night’s Kitchen Nightmares: “Don’t take it personally, just take it seriously!”

I hate Firefox
Posted in Uncategorized on Nov 25th, 2007
Sigh. I’m getting tired of this bug where Firefox forgets how to load CSS and/or render images. It’s getting worse. A search through Bugzilla finds a few people having similar problems, but nobody has nailed down a solid reproduceable case yet. I guess I’m going to have to resort to checking page info and try […]
Rants
Posted in Uncategorized on Nov 19th, 2007
I’m amused, the FAA airport facility directory for the Empire, NV airport (1A8) has a remark “displaced threshold marked by 8 white tires.” There’s also a one-foot berm around the runway, presumably to keep all the dust clear. I’m headed to Amsterdam either the week before or the week of Christmas. A colleague decided against […]
Media fail
Posted in Uncategorized on Nov 11th, 2007
Last weekend I bought a Mac Mini to use as a media server to replace my modded Xbox running XBMC. I love XBMC, it is nearly my idea of a perfect media manager. It plays a wonderful selection of codecs and containers, very responsive and quick interface, and it supports mounting of remote shares. The […]
Gym, raaaaawr
Posted in Uncategorized on Oct 28th, 2007
With the exception of Friday, I’ve spent every evening at the gym. I’m having mixed results with swimming. The thin Speedo goggles I have leak, which is absolutely annoying when constantly tilting my head to breathe. My other larger goggles are perfectly airtight but seem to block my peripherial vision. I hit the lap pool […]
Saving things
Posted in Uncategorized on Oct 22nd, 2007
I had the whole week off and didn’t do much. Tuesday I had a Line-X spray-in bedliner put in my truck; it’s fucking sharp and surprisingly thick. I also received my Canon 30D and one of my lenses. After getting my camera and truck put back together, I had intended to go someplace not Austin […]
Roadtrip: South Padre Island
Posted in Uncategorized on Oct 15th, 2007
I went to South Padre Island this weekend. I left Saturday afternoon and came home this morning. I pretty much piled clothes into a bag, picked up my cameras and left. About a five hour drive down. I had a blast and recommend it to anyone looking for some sun. If you’re looking for a […]
Crooked spine
Posted in Uncategorized on Oct 7th, 2007
Over time, I’ve been getting annoyed at how my left shoulder always appears to be really drooped down in photographs due to my scoliosis. It’s also a functional problem too, when wearing a pack I have to snug down my left strap to compensate for the drop, yet my right shoulder tends to bear the […]
Euro are valuable
Posted in Uncategorized on Sep 21st, 2007
The leftover Euro I have from my Amsterdam trip has increased in dollar value by 4% since August. Over the past year, the Euro to Dollar exchange rate has increased 10.1%. Pretty nice when you’re just sitting on currency. Sucks when you want to go back. In other news, I found out the State mailed […]
.ca, .nl and BRC photos
Posted in Uncategorized on Sep 13th, 2007
I finally finished scanning film from Canada, Amsterdam and the Burning Man roadtrip. I’m disappointed some 40+ night time pictures at BM didn’t work. Last year I underexposed them all, this year I overexposed them and blew out all the detail. This should teach me to buy a meter or a digital SLR. pictures – […]
