You know you’re trying to do too many things at once when… Managing browser tabs needs its own methodology, like GTD: Every week, go through your open tabs and close as many as you can. I don’t actually need to read that article. Not interested in this, any more. etc. Clearly, I fail. >.< Restoring… Continue reading Getting Tabs Closed

Love is in the air…
Two of my friends got married on August 25th, 2007. Congratulations to Kurtis and Nubia in São Paulo (sorry, I wasn’t able to attend), and Alex and Desiree in Vancouver (it was a very nice wedding). I’m happy for everyone! 😀 Also, within the same week, my big brother announced that he popped the question… Continue reading Love is in the air…
Don’t Throw Bottles!
Jesse and I went to the Commodore Ballroom and saw Brian Jonestown Massacre, Saturday night. Doors opened at 8. I think we entered around 8:30, grabbed a drink and settled at a table at the front. We chatted while waiting for the opening band to come out. I think they came out around 9:30 or… Continue reading Don’t Throw Bottles!
Cold Turkey Salad
I had this yesterday and it was so good I’m having it again today. It’s a nice salad for a hot day, made from a bunch of stuff that happened to be in the fridge: Mixed organic greens turkey avocado red pepper apple orange pine nuts dried cranberries raspberry vinaigrette Okay, so the pine nuts… Continue reading Cold Turkey Salad

This post brought to you by #2 Orchestra. Have a listen while you read: I rarely dream. Or, at least, I rarely remember them. I fell asleep with my music playing. So I had really vivid (and random) music playin in my dream… and I’m sure the shuffle had something to do with what… Continue reading Weird Dream
Random UI Stuff and Link Dump
Radial menus in GNOME! libsexier, indeed! Awesome. I was wondering when radial menus would creep their way to the desktop. After watching the video, I enabled Desktop Effects in Feisty and ran the demo, but the performance wasn’t very good. I’m not sure why. Should I be using an updated Cairo or other lib? Does… Continue reading Random UI Stuff and Link Dump
Scanning in Linux
After actually using my all-in-one printer/scanner/fax/copier thing for scanning some photos, I’ve discovered it’s not actually that great as a scanner; Jack of all, master of none, I guess. It has trouble differentiating any dark colour from black, so the resulting scans have an excessive amount of black in them and generally much fewer colours… Continue reading Scanning in Linux
Cleansing Gmail of Facebook notifications
If you’re like me, you like receiving an email telling you should log into facebook to check your messages or something. But those emails accumulate and obstruct the rest of your inbox!! I tried searching for facebook but that returned a bunch of legitimate emails and chats that mentioned facebook, and that I did not… Continue reading Cleansing Gmail of Facebook notifications

US Political Debates, CNN and Michael Moore
CNN took Youtube user submitted questions (in the form of videos) during the US Democrat debates on July 23rd. Go watch the recap. Some interesting questions were selected that put the candidates on the spot. I’ve only watched a few so far, but will likely watch most of them. The Republican debates are on September… Continue reading US Political Debates, CNN and Michael Moore
