I really, really like Objective-C's [square brackets] method of markup (whatever you wanna call it). Some of the people in this OSNews article are bitching and whining, but odds are, in my experience, they've simply never done much work with Objective-C. Which, I ask you, would you rather deal with: someObject.createConnection(mySocket, 12163, 28800, myClient, NULL); […]

I previously put two of my sites on this blog's virtual auction block, but only received offers (and plenty of them) from people whom I did not trust to maintain the content of the sites in an adequate fashion. Thus, I've not sold the sites yet. New plan: give each of the sites away to […]

Just quoting this Billboard.com article about Apple's "rumored" music service. "Label sources tell Bulletin that the service is an a la carte download store -- not unlike that of rival Liquid Audio -- that is built into Apple's iTunes player. No subscription is required for the service, and tracks are expected to retail for an […]

Chris backhandedly asks how you pronounce GIF in a recent entry. I'm inclined to say that most of the time, I say it with a hard G. After all, it stands for Graphics Interchange Format, not Jraphics. Plus it's not peanut butter. However, when I say it in a sentence with the word "JPEG" I […]

Thanks John. Guess I can knock that one off my "Top 10 Safari Issues" list soon.

I just got done reading about my screen so this OneWord is a bit weird. I'm also thinking of screening potential candidates for a job, something I just went through, and Daria screened calls while I wrote about Survivor from her house due to Interland's issues. Screen doors, you see a lot of those in […]

Ahh, salvation! Thanks to a MacInTouch1 post, I can disable the touch-sensitive buttons on the front of my Cinema display. I don't know how many times I've accidentally put my computer to sleep by brushing the power button. If you hold down command and shift when you open the "Displays" system preferences item, a third […]

Interland was having routing issues for awhile this morning. [7:49am iacas@Gaia:~] % ping nslog.com PING nslog.com (64.226.43.134): 56 data bytes ^C --- nslog.com ping statistics --- 712459 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss Oddly enough, my neighbor (Daria), using the same ISP and the same connection (but a 24.* IP, while mine at […]

And so we begin another episode of Survivor, one day late because someone forgot to let me know when she got back from dance so that we could do our normal "party" thing, even though Gabe is still up in NYC. Let's just jump right into it, shall we?

So I had this great idea to write about how engagement rings were sexist and all, and I whipped up a draft (albeit a pretty bad one) of an article. Then I met Jamie at work and mentioned it to her, and this got her wheels going, and she beat me to it. So then […]

I said in my "Starting a Blog (with Movable Type)" article that one of the best ways to build up your readership is to simply leave comments (preferably good ones) and post TrackBacks to the blogs you read. And so it has happened again. Amy of spiffarific.com (fabu name) has posted a few comments here […]

Question: If you could live in a past era just so you could wear the clothes in fashion at the time, when would it be? My Answer: I would live in the stone age, when clothes were mostly optional, because I tend to be somewhat uncomfortable in any kind of "fashion" clothing. I sit around […]

Eric Nick points out that Mario Kart for the GameCube has been announced. YES! I previously wrote about Mario Kart, but I have one question not answered by the preview page linked to above: will it allow Internet play? I'd be interested in seeing who's better: the Nickster or myself. Awesome! This starts this day […]

For $10,000,000.00 I'd live nearly anywhere for life. I've long said that if I had a million dollars, I'd be set for life. Live off the $50,000/year that the interest would get you, don't spend the rest at all, and work odd jobs to keep yourself busy and have some sp money. $10M? Why, that's […]

I'm a bit late in getting my post up, but oh well. Deal with it. This will be short: I haven't got much time and I'm really far behind on my TiVo playlist. Diane Warren is pretty awesome, so it's great that she's on. Guest judging and singing her songs, great. Good job. For whatever […]
