  1. @NeilCrosby: I can actually highly recommend Ubuntu for a development machine. Vim runs wonderfully, and virtualbox isn't complete crap.
  2. Now even my fingertips hurt. I need to learn to type more softly...
  3. I brought my Wacom to work. Now I've got a trackball to my right and a tablet to my left that I can switch between: This seems workable...
  4. @ginader: @NeilCrosby is lying. You'll be able to see _high definition_ pixilization and artifacts in the DVD transfer.
  5. @evalottchen: Congrats to you both! That's quite cool!
  6. @evalottchen: You moving? Where to?
  7. Curling up on the couch with "Introduction to Algorithms." First up this afternoon: binary/n-ary, and red/black trees!
  8. Waiting for @carlo to wake up so we can brunch.
  9. @kbingman: Ok, that helps a lot, actually. Mouse mode is a much more usable setting...
  10. @Carlo: I am. MacSpeech Dictate isn't half bad. Wearing a headset is pretty annoying however.
  11. @intranation: I'm talking my tweets already. I'm not sure about this pen though.
  12. @Carlo: Well, I certainly didn't buy it because I thought it was a reasonable input mechanism. Pens are for drawing, not mousing.
  13. Oh. This is going to take some getting used to. The touchpad is reasonable enough, but the pen is strange.
  14. On my physical therapist's advice, I picked up a Wacom tablet... I don't expect holding a pen to be any better on my elbow than a trackball.
  15. @Carlo: Hooray for working on the weekend! Which I'm not doing. :)
  16. Wow. Assassin's Creed II has a truly amazing endgame. Another cliffhanger, and a _very_ clever resolution of this chapter of the story...
  17. I've had "Bohemian Rhapsody" stuck in my head for ~48 hours straight. Stupid Muppets. http://www.youtube.com/watc...
  18. Elisabeth is abandoning me for the weekend to go folk dancing in an old castle somewhere up north. I suspect she'll have a good time. :)
  19. @nefarioustim: That sounds terribly familiar.
  20. @spjwebster: Armpits? That's the obvious choice, right?
