Yes, that was a long time between posts. I’ve been… busy (killing time). I haven’t felt so motivated to bother doing the alt-tab mouse input thing in Metacity (the official window manager for GNOME), as other things which seem to eclipse it are being developed: Gimmie (which looks awesome!) AIGLX (Redhat) XGL (Novel) (very nice… Continue reading Untitled

Shopping @ Work
Today, my colleague peaked into my cubicle and asked, “Want a wireless router?” To which, I replied, “Huh?” We continued… “Want a wireless router? Five bucks.” “Uh….” (There must be a catch.) “Even if you don’t need one, … for five bucks….” “Yeah…. Yeah, I think I could handle that.” “I’ll send you the link.”… Continue reading Shopping @ Work
Library Books
Coming off of a nice family dinner very satiated, so I’m in a good position to do an update. I upgraded to WordPress 2.0 a while ago, but this is my first post since. Quite nice, from the admin side of things. 🙂 It’s even got a WYSIWYG editor, and a nice dialogue for inserting… Continue reading Library Books
2006
Another “long” weekend that seems too short passes. For New Year’s Eve, I probably wasn’t going to do anything, but I ended up going for fondue with my mom and my sister to a friend of the family’s place. After eating, we watched March of the Penguins, a documentary on (you guessed it) penguins. It… Continue reading 2006
joy and pain
Last week ended on a strange combination of joy and pain. Joy from having my company Christmas party and getting off early for the weekend. It was pretty good. There were a few hundred of us at the Hilton. We had Turkey (with all the regular fixins), some white fish in a creamy sauce, and… Continue reading joy and pain
Movies ‘n Stuff
Watched a bunch of stuff recently. Read on… Firefly (20th Century Fox Series) – IMDB I just finished watching this surprisingly charming little sci-fi series. I say little because it was cancelled by Fox after just 15 episodes… probably replaced by some lame reality TV show. Anyways, it’s cheesy – real cheesy – but it’s… Continue reading Movies ‘n Stuff
KDE, Soccer, and Exhaustion
I went to the VanLUG, on Monday, to see Aaron Seigo do a presentation on KDE – where it is now, and it’s direction for the future. Admittedly, I’m a Gnome user, myself, but I was interested in hearing about KDE from one of its core developers. Also, I believe in that happy place where… Continue reading KDE, Soccer, and Exhaustion
During the last month…
It’s been a while since I’ve actually blogged anything. Like Jon observed, you get used to a routine, and if blogging isn’t part of it, it’s just not gonna happen. I’m less likely to spend time on the computer when I get home from working with a computer all day. Been spending more time with… Continue reading During the last month…
Belated Fishing Story
Fishing I was planning on holding a grand scale BBQ for anyone that wanted to come, but I had to be an ass and revoke my invitation 1 day after it was sent. This is why: my brother, Aryk, called me that day and asked if I would like to go salmon fishing on the… Continue reading Belated Fishing Story
Settling in at work
Had an interesting day at work, today. My current task involves using a web interface to rebuild pages for a test environment. This is extremely boring and repetitious work, and it will take a long time to complete. When my supervisor gave me the task, he told me to take my time. Okay. I will.… Continue reading Settling in at work
