  1. I'm thinking it might be fun to unsecure my wifi just so I can try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upside-Down-TernetHowTo
  2. Why does std::map not have operator+ and += ? I'd love to say mapTotal = map1 + map2 without having to drag out insert() and iterators.
  3. while ( true ) { p = malloc( 1000 ); } // damn, linux must have a bad memory manager, I keep running out of ram!
  4. This broken e-mail filter that moves all incoming email to the trash folder explains why things have been calm + quiet. Think I'll keep it.
  5. Oh wow! http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001315.html When did you last backup? (I'm kicking off a non-incremental one right now!)
  6. Getting 1.38MB/s on this torrent connected to 18 peers. My old PacketShaper is just *begging* to be plugged in.
  7. Scrapping the mouse traps in the garage for a bit of food for lunch. Once the traps are bare it may be time to do some grocery shopping.
  8. @thedayhascome When did your wife meet Tiger Woods?
  9. Rhythmbox again: why does the popup notification of Diana Ross' "Theme From Mahogany" show up with the album art of U2's "War"?
  10. Rhythmbox: "random" cannot possibly be random. At best, it is a hint of a glimmer of a suggestion as to what order tracks may be played.
  11. I think this is the 3rd kernel update on Ubuntu over the last few days. Wish I'd found a site listing the change in each of these updates.
  12. A new self-ignition unit for the furnance + installation + service call fee: $256. Having heat in the house: Priceless. (Geek number: 256!)
  13. Bad geek: you read headlines like today's "Coordinated attacks in Iraq kills 127" and you think: "I wonder if they're using unsigned char".
  14. My 3yo son likes to randomly interrupt me a few times per day to give me sloppy wet kisses. Hard to get mad at him for those interruptions.
  15. +14C inside, -10C outside, supposed to drop to -14C by Monday, and the furnace has picked tonight as the right time to die.
  16. Next @okdg meetup is Tuesday evening. Will attend, but I'm reluctant to create yet another account/username/password/email/... to register.
  17. On his web site, Alan Becker says it took him 3 months to do this in Flash: "Animator vs Animation": http://tinyurl.com/37s6xo
  18. GRAMPS 3.1.3 has been tagged in svn. In the middle of building Ubuntu .deb files now to upload to SourceForge. http://tinyurl.com/yzlf5eo
  19. When configuration causes something to break, or configuration itself ceases to work, people know about it. Quick! Fixin'...
  20. Stuck in my hotel room today. Bad food yesterday has made me sick. I'm going to need an IV line of apple juice to get re-hydrated.
