Tuesday I flew to Virginia for work. Snow was dumped all over the northeast so I got diverted to Balitmore. While I was there, we got three inches of snow overnight which promptly froze. Fortunately I got back to BWI without any grief. As I was passing through security at BWI, TSA pulled me aside […]

So much Zelda. I stood in line Sunday morning at Target to buy a Wii. They had 68 units, at 7:30 AM there were about 35 people in line. I finally gots me one! I also bought Elebits and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (she gets around) while I was there. Every waking hour not […]

After 11 years I finally got around to figuring out en_US.UTF-8 locale on Solaris. Most Linux machines usually have UTF-8 enabled by default, but it took a few minutes of man page reading to get Solaris fixed up. Which means, I can now easily write in different language sets from my shell! よこそう السلام عليك […]

I have returned from Seattle. IAH->SEA was 5 hours, SEA->IAH was a little over 3 hours, what’s up with that? I would *love* train service between Austin and Houston airports. 15 minutes to board a plane, 30-40 until takeoff, another 30 minutes in the air, another 45 minutes spent taxiing and deboarding. It still beats […]

Tonight I’m loaded with consumer-y tips and rants! A while back Alex was telling me a story about how he got carded at a store to verify he was over 21. He hands over his drivers license which clearly has his age, but they refuse to use it because the license was expired. What? So […]

Dinner at Kyoto last night for Mary’s birthday, quite a nice social gathering. Their “Texas Roll” was a new one to me: sauted beef, a slice of jalapeno, seaweed and rice. Either I wasn’t expecting it or it wasn’t jalapeno. I believe the latter, but if it’s the former, I didn’t know fresh uncooked jalapeno […]

Sunday night a week ago I was running through EWR. My flight from Austin was delayed because of stormy weather in the northeast. I barely caught my flight to Amsterdam, I was the last person on the plane before it pulled away. I only caught a few hours of sleep on the flight over. Schipol […]

I am finally credit card debt free, yippee! I gave in and paid off my last two cards in one lump sum. Digging around in one of my bank accounts I had setup to auto pay off a card, it had long been paid off and I had a $800 credit built up. I don’t […]

I went up to Oklahoma for Christmas. The night before I came home my sinuses melted down. I’m just now getting over my cold, it’s driving me nuts because I can’t go out and run or riding. On the way home I stopped at the mall and hit a couple of sales. I bought a […]
