The one in Lone Pine Cañon is making Wrightwood smell like a campfire. Mmmmmm.
I’m a real believer in leaving something aside for non-human nature to use for whatever she wishes, but where the boundary lays, I can be okay with the more pragmatic stewardship approach.
Recognized the eerie music playing in “…Benjamin Button” from a Simpsons Episode.. sure enough, it’s Camille Saint-Saëns. Me want mp3!
(0)I was frustrated trying to get my flash player to do bandwidth detection, then stumbled on this site.. Apparently, there’s a bug in FLVplayback? Psh.
I can’t express how happy I am! QT is being released lGPL!!!!!!!!! (kinda saw it coming w/ the acquisition…)
(0)I’m pretty sure that mini-Thor just called me “brother” two times in a row (shit, he didn’t say 兄ちゃん, despite my encouragement)
(0)Ordered the Japanese cartridge of Chrono Trigger DS. Never been so excited about an old game, but in another language, might as well be new.
(0)I succeeded (#3) and gotten in stepwise directions towards (#1 and #2) my last year’s resolutions. Because of that, and because I’m awesome, I know I’ll be at least partly successful in these three resolutions. I have very good reasons to be more specific this year:
- Have at least one, preferably two, software products of mine become successful and attain a customer base. Likely contenders include CalCast/Maintenance Cast and a v2.0 RoR’s version of band-collab (what’s up right now is a bloody Drupal mess I wouldn’t wish upon my worst foes).
- To get one study of mine published in a peer-reviewed journal. Wait a minute, I don’t have any credentials! That little factor will make it all the more challenging and interesting. I have my eyes on certain food science journals. More details forthcoming…
- To acquire a patent. Provisional patent or patent pending will count for this one.
In addition to these, I’m serious about continuing my last year’s resolutions. That means two things – be good to my girlfriend, who I love, and try as hell to make better money than I did last year.
Oh, and to make things interesting, I’m going to make a deal with my friends that they can dunk me or something evil like that if I don’t make all three. And these are all fiendishly hard, aren’t they!!!
