I reinstalled OS X today using the “Archive and Install” method. It basically moved my existing /Applications, /Developer, /Library, /system, /private directories to another place, installed a fresh copy of the OS, then restored my apps and accounts. Several things were broken afterwards like codecs, printer drivers, VPN, and some Adobe CS2 files. I was […]

Another stupid email from my apartment management, this time connecting freedoms of the United States to their services. Really, somebody is trying too hard to be clever. Hi Bryan, Let FREEDOM RING!!! Today we are celebrating our independence. We are grateful for the freedom we all experience as Americans. As a resident of our community […]

Last night I left my Oakley sunglasses on the bumper of my truck while I was working, then went out for dinner. Whoops. This morning I found them a few hundred feet away, they had been ran over by a car. Interestingly, the frames were scratched to hell but were intact. The lense and nosepiece […]

I don’t know what to do with myself knowing I’ve got a week off of work. I stupidly set to painting the vise mount before using it, which means I had to wait for it to dry. I picked up some pipe fittings and threaded rod today which I’m going to attempt to use for […]

I made the journey up to Killeen and went to several Army surplus stores. Most of them had a bigger selection of stuff than I remember in stores I had visited before. Lots and lots of new/used clothes too. Army combat uniform (ACUs), battle dress uniform (BDUs), chemical suits, parkas, winter jackets, synthetic underwear, wool […]

Either my MacBook Pro with sketchy RAM (which only reboots about once every two weeks now) or the 10.4.7 update screwed me over. During the update it rebooted and hosed the OS. There’s all sorts of whacky unresolved dependancies causing the MBP to not boot. It even reverts to text mode at startup to cry […]

I had a dream last night I had ordered a pizza, I kept waiting and waiting, an hour and a half later, it never showed up. At some point this morning I thought I really did order one. I’m hungry now. I keep having this reocurring dream where I’m running a race/marathon and my legs […]

As each day goes by, I’m my hatred for advertising, marketing, and to a degree, capitalism is growing. I loathe when marketing runs contrary to technology and convienience. It has gotten to the point where it highly annoys me when people try to sell me things, no matter the method. I see it as a […]

AAAAAHH it’s 1:12 AM and I’m wide awake and bored. I had better not wind up going to IHOP from 3AM-5AM like I did Sunday morning because I couldn’t sleep. I think the waiter guy was on speed, he kept coming by the table every 3 minutes asking if everything was ok. For fucks’s sake, […]
