“As if it were a swarm of bees, you should stay away from the SyncServices folder...”
– Apple support document HT1865 (via marco)
Torn about all of this DiggBar controversy. I really wanted to do something similar with FeedHub; the UX would have been greatly improved.
Posted pictures of Ellen with Ruslan Fedotenko scraped from the Penguins’ site: http://gallery.me.com/edibiase/100051
Need to set an alarm that goes off every Friday around noon and says, “DO NOT GET THE GENERAL TSO’S CHICKEN; YOU WILL REGRET IT.”
Way psyched that @ellen_s won a shirt off of a Penguin’s back after the game! http://twitpic.com/32tbk
Savoring the sweet, sweet smell of victory. And WD-40.
Time to put together some equipment.
Realizing how poorly “Kryptonite” by 3 Doors Down has held up. ★★.
What I would like to see: an iTunes DJ that picked tracks based on Genius, updating after each play based on which tracks played through.
Starting to schedule classes in GHC, which I can only assume is the Gates-Hillman Center. Cool.
Well, that test went badly.
Just because I’m good at working late doesn’t mean I want to stay up any later. Heading to bed.
Getting good at working late.
Feeling my temptation to switch back to Gmail from MobileMe Mail growing.
Just learned that “POSIX” is an acronym for “Portable Operating System Interface”.
Way excited about Bigbird. I was hoping for a Tweetie for Mac, but I didn’t know it would actually *happen*.
Wondering if and when iTunes is going to drop the “plus” branding, given that the entire music store is now DRM-free.
Ate too much delicious, delicious almond butter.
Two years ago, I would have been really excited about the DSi. Now that I have the iPhone and the App Store, it seems pointless.
Loving how E*TRADE never seems to get around to telling me that they need me to do something to move things forward with my account.
(I’ve already purchased it. I’m just saying that 30 minutes of productivity plus 30 seconds to restart it isn’t much of a deterrent.)
While I’m thankful that IDEA will let you run for 30 minutes on an expired license, I have to admit it makes it easier not to buy it.
Having checked in some pretty nice parse-tree-matching code, treating myself to The Simpsons before heading to bed.
When System.out.println doesn’t write to the console, and you haven’t reassigned System.out, things are weird.
Ah, I see. My partner inserted a System.setOut call deep in a crucial method.
Reached the point at which the word “matcher” looks like it’s foreign to English.
Happy that IDEA at least lets you run it for 30 minutes at a time once the license has expired. Bonus: checking Twitter in restart interval.
Wishing that JetBrains would ship you an IDEA license when you paid for it, and not some indeterminate amount of time later.
A bit surprised that someone named their iPhone application “Race Wars”.
Watching Millie visit with her squirrel friend. http://twitpic.com/2tyxv
Trying to figure out which solution for helping me manage my finances sucks the least. Not a good place to be.
A bit suspicious of this contact information for Equifax: http://www.equifax.com/contact_us/en_cp
Talked to someone at PNC who is going to return my Virtual Wallet accounts to normal accounts tomorrow. Hooray!
PNC Virtual Wallet is exactly what you’d expect from a bank company’s Mint clone. I’d rather just use Mint.
On the phone with PNC, trying to convert my Virtual Wallet account into a normal account.
Trying out Bluebird, like all of the other cool kids.
Wishing that Java allowed multiple return values.
My IDEA trial license license expired, but they never got back to me about getting an academic license. So I’m downloading Eclipse. Grr.
Tired enough that I should go to bed, but too tired to be able to execute that plan properly.
