  1. Centris 650: dead. Oldest hard drive I could find turns out to have pits on the platter surface; newer one (still old) died mid-transfer.
  2. Sure, there was also one labeled "Pipeline," plus Fetch and Anarchie and several versions of Eudora, but Netscape, man! The web! *snif*
  3. Found while making sure I'm not throwing out anything of value, sentimental or otherwise: floppy disc labeled "Netscape 1.12."
  4. Yet another DC neighborhood name. Mount Pleasant Plains? http://flic.kr/p/6DogTa
  5. @IMGoph Realtors are inorganic? That would explain a lot.
  6. @IMGoph The Citizen Atlas used to have full text descriptions of the borders of all them, but that's gone and it just maps clusters now.
  7. @bosconet Then I'd have a single Drobo prone to failure instead. :-P
  8. Note to self: don't buy any more MyBook drives. The power supplies are too small and the controller hardware sucks.
  9. Gah. My other WD MyBook (the one I haven't voided the warranty on) has developed the same "I'm not spinning up right now" problem.
  10. @tbridge Not so much looking for work as looking for more of it, but I've had requests from a contact who does association placement stuff.
  11. Mon Dieu! I haven't updated my resume in five years. Has it really been that long?
  12. You know what's annoying? Hitting Cmd-W when the wrong app has focus. Also hitting Cmd-L when iChat has focus instead of the browser.
  13. @tbridge You're retweeting your cat? That's just sad, son.
  14. Weird. Several hundred long-deleted spam emails reappeared after the Envelope Index rebuild. Bug's worse than I thought, I guess.
  15. In more mundane matters, I'm making Mail.app rebuild its envelope index. Hooray for small database corruptions!
  16. @xtopher1974 You're probably too new to town to have experienced the realtorism "Dupont East" for Logan Circle (now "Borderstan" in blog).
  17. @heybecks Surprisingly grim for a brand new building.
  18. My inner 7-year-old is finally out of breath from all the running around, jumping, and screaming. I'm meeting astronauts! Thanks @nasa!
  19. Info on STS-125 (final visit to the Hubble telescope), the crew of which I'm meeting at the @nasa tweetup: http://tinyurl.com/nu5uho
  20. @violetdawn She's not crazy about it, actually. New place is across the border in Cluster 18, which caused all the neighborhood lookups.
