Gatherings
Had a nice get-together with the gifu-crew, on Sunday. Chinese-Taiwanese-Japanese fusion hot-pot shabu shabu. 😮 The pot was courtesy of Shirley (thanks!), despite her not being able to make it. Unfortunately, I don’t think there were are any pictures captured in the digital medium to show. But it was good times!
Ubuntu Feisty
My Desktop PC was not able to complete a dist-upgrade of Ubuntu from Dapper to Feisty, and consequently has trouble booting. Yes, I tried skipping Edgy, and I advise you not to do the same. I’ve decided I’m just going to start with a fresh install, because my system was very cluttered with stuff I don’t use or need. So I started going about backing stuff up, from a live CD boot onto my external USB drive… it was becoming very apparent that this would be painfully time consuming, as I was quickly running out of space. Easiest solution? Get another hard drive. I did that and am now running Feisty. Most of my settings and everything have been transferred and I must say I’m very impressed with the latest Ubuntu. Videos seem to “just work” on Gstreamer Totem, and many things seem much snappier. It will be making its way to my laptop soon, as well.
goals
When my computers are all back and healthy, I plan on regulating a few short-term goals:
- Reading a chapter a day in my Python book, Dive into Python. I think I’m on Chapter 6 or something, at the moment.
- Blogging every 2-3 days. I don’t need to have earth shattering news to report (do I ever?), but if I can’t say a little something every few days, then I’m certainly not doing enough with my time.
- Update blog aesthetics. ’nuff said.
- Enjoy the sunshine, when it comes.
I was planning on making a nautilus extension for easy image resizing, but someone beat me to the punch. It uses ImageMagick, is pretty much what I had in mind, and seems to work great. 🙂 I just tested it out with my meal from the Cloud 9 rotating restaurant, on March 8th. (I went there to take advantage of their extended Dine out Vancouver with a couple friends.) I now demand that you become hungry, with pictures of FOOD!
This salmon was excellent. I believe it was in a white butter cream and lemon sauce. Everything on that plate was excellent, except the shrimp which were actually quite bland and rubbery.
I’m not a big fan of cheese cake. It was alright.
links of the day
- Western Perspectives on Japanese Game Development – Interesting Gamasutra link John sent me.
- Family Guy vs Christianity – I swear, Family Guy is the Kevin Bacon of Youtube.
Very important to throw in the “-Taiwanese-” in there. Smart!
get rid of this security question, you don’t need it.
also I don’t see ‘beers and becoming a (expletive deleted)’ on that list. I suggest you correct this post haste.

Popeko, please learn how to use tags. And please refrain from potentially inappropriate comments, including fluff quotes from obscure songs. I try to maintain a family oriented operation here!
