If I don’t write this down in the next 5 minutes, I’ll surely forget it forever. emacs had some problems opening a file when when it was checked into cvs. Then it had permissions problems when I moved the ,v file out of the way. The problem was that the disk was mounted on NFS …
October 27, 2003 It’s the 300th day of the year, with 65 days left. It’s day 3 of resisting the urge to buy Panther. I actually thought about where the closest place to get it would be if I broke down (Fry’s). Breathing, Breathing… Macintouch is reporting some problems with it, including my video card …
I don’t want to itch it, but half the time I’m doing it unconsciously. I bought some ‘exfoliating’ cream that’s basically liquid sandpaper and some hydrocortizone, but it still itches like crazy. I’m not even sure where I got it from, but it’s likely from this fiasco.
One thing that’s annoyed me is that there’s no easy way to enter GPS coordinates on the web and get a map or look up other info about those coordinates. There are some conversion utilities out there, but they’re a pain to use, requring a lot of cutting and pasting. I decided to build a …
In a previous post, I was in monitor configuration hell. My shiny new Dell 20″ Flat Panel wouldn’t stick to 1600 x 1200 resolution after a reboot. Well, once they worked out the bugs in OS X 10.2.8, I installed it and the problem went away. I don’t know if there was anything that specifically …

I think there were just too many egos involved for this to ever have worked out. I suppose it’s best that it ended now, …
And they’re offering a discount for current Treo owners. Must … resist … urge … to … pull … out …. credit … card. I really love my Treo 300. It’s my phone, PDA, mobile web browser and pager. And with this accessory, I’m never without a pen, which is really great, especially when Geocaching. …
Following up on my previous post about finding a new IMAP client, Microsoft has kindly forced the issue for me. A week ago I started noticing that after going away from my computer for a while, I’d come back and notice that Outlook Express wasn’t running. Funny, I didn’t remeber closing it. Then I noticed …
My new governor is an Austrian bodybuilder/actor, my dotcom company is making tons of money, and the Red Sox have won 4 straight playoff games. Now, I think these are all good things, but they’re making me suspicious again that the apocalypse is near.
I’ve finally gotten all my Geocaching log entries into my Geocaching blog. I did about 2/3 of them manually, but then thought it would be worth it to write a script to grab them off the site. The new page on the Geocaching site that shows just the log entry made this a lot easier. …
