From my Twitter stream:
| sun 02:53am | @dreamingcrow ?q |
| sun 02:53am | Still just a bit drunk |
| sun 02:54am | Staying up until i decide i'm sober enough to sleep. |
| sun 08:26am | So glad I don't get hangovers. 'cause dealing with that on top of this not-enough-sleep crap would /really/ suck. |
| sun 09:03am | @beaq yes, like that. Poor! |
| mon 07:17am | Auto wakeup at 9am is annoying. Autowake at 8am is bad. Autowake at 7am REALLY SUCKS. Staying in bed out of protest. |
| mon 12:11pm | Windows 7 Review-In-Progress. 1) The packaging is nicer than Vista. |
| mon 12:12pm | 2) Still can't install 64-bit version on Mac Pro. Not gonna bother rebuilding the dvd to make it so I can. |
| mon 12:12pm | 3) Prettier than Vista. Or XP, even. |
| mon 12:13pm | 4) Mega-bonus points: It asks for the product number AFTER SUCCESSFUL INSTALL, not at the start. Good when install fails a lot. |
| mon 12:13pm | 5) Install only failed one. Popped the other drives out and it was better. We'll see if it still boots with they're back. |
| mon 12:38pm | 6) Installed boot camp drivers. Isn't booting correctly. |
| mon 12:41pm | @maggim Huh. I just missed mine. My 5k was about not having to reenter the product number over and over again. ::( |
| mon 12:52pm | 7) Booting works without the DVD in the drive. ::/ Sounds are same as vista, which is several negative points. |
| mon 12:52pm | 8) Big points: It can read HFS+. I don't have to boot back to mac to get to the files I saved off the partition. |
| mon 12:54pm | 9) Eeexcept my home directory appears blank. And the files I need are in a folder on my desktop. Fail! |
| mon 12:58pm | @darkmane I booted the computer. Also, I installed the boot camp addons from the snow leopard disk, that likely helped a lot. |
| mon 01:02pm | @tedder42 They're the same as the vista sounds. At least the boot and login sounds are. |
| mon 07:40pm | @dreamingcrow /everybody/ is there just to amuse me.. It's when I'm /not/ amused that things get dangerous. |
| mon 07:43pm | @dreamingcrow You disagree? |
| mon 07:44pm | Went to the dentist this afternoon for a cleaning. As a result, going in again thursday to have a crown re-done. Yay (tm). |
| mon 07:44pm | At least it'll be free. He decided it isn't right, so he's gonna re-do it at his expense. I love my dentist. |
| mon 07:47pm | The funny thing is that.. /he/'s the one it bothers. I noticed it was imperfect from the start, but it doesn't bother me. *shrug* |
| mon 07:47pm | I totally understand perfectionism tho, so I'm certainly not going to argue with him. |
| mon 07:48pm | Let that be a lesson to you kids: Never argue with the guy offering you a giant tank of nitrous. Er, I mean free dental care. *cough* |
| mon 07:49pm | @dreamingcrow But you're an 'everybody'. |
| mon 07:56pm | @dianthus you see my point. how're you feeling, btw? |
| mon 08:09pm | Reinstalling Win7 already. Tried to system restore to before I installed the ATI drivers. They are definitely what's breaking Fallout3. |
| mon 08:09pm | System restore failed. "Reinstall!" didn't work. So, doing it the usual way. |
| mon 08:10pm | It's ... nice? that MS finally recognizes that reinstalling is a common, viable solution to problems with windows, and builds it is. |
| mon 08:24pm | @tedder42 no. |
| mon 09:08pm | @tedder42 I've seen it mentioned. |
| tue 09:17am | Oh, that is COMPLETELY awesome. Let me guess, the warranty on my 23" LCD /just/ ran out. It's got lines running vertically at 1" intervals. |
| tue 09:18am | Only where there's color, never where there's grey. Purple, red, yellow, repeat. |
| tue 09:19am | Whew. Power cycling the monitor fixed it. Wonder WTF that was about. |
| tue 09:19am | @FallenPegasus Yes, damnit! |
| tue 12:11pm | Thank you for existing, downforeveryoneorjustme.com. |
| tue 01:26pm | It's really quite annoying. Both prototypejs.org and api.rubyonrails.org are unresponsive. I'm forced to read source code! ohs no. |
| tue 05:54pm | My copy of Fallout 3, plus the nice edition of the everything-guide for it, is now up for grabs if anybody wants it. |
| tue 05:55pm | @tereshkova2001 now he just has to decide what that reason is? |
| tue 06:06pm | Twitter and Dropbox are taunting me with their not-in-Seattle job openings. |
| tue 07:29pm | Okay... It's not just fallout that fails. Supreme commander has the same problem. Main video card shuts down and computer locks up. |
| tue 07:29pm | I ponder swapping my video cards. |
| tue 07:44pm | Looks like I'll have to deprecate the x1900 to swap them. But it was filthy, maybe just overheating? |
| tue 07:58pm | I suppose if I drove out to Fry's tonight they would not have a Radeon HD 3800... |
| tue 07:59pm | Anybody wanna guess as to whether they could even identify a mac compatible videocard? |
| tue 08:08pm | Heading to frys. |
| tue 08:38pm | Well, at least they know they're useless. They've got no video card for mac. |
| tue 09:30pm | It didn't occur to me until after I got home to ask if they had any EFI-compatible video cards. Wanna bet they'd've said yes? |
| wed 10:36am | Looking at election results... R71 winning by fewer votes than DIDN'T VOTE on 1033. |
| wed 12:40pm | @maggim I'm guessing that's what I was just behind on 405. If so, yes, yum. |
| wed 12:43pm | @GeekGirlsRule Yes? |
| thu 08:47am | @daskeyboard Ouch. That's gotta hurt. |
| thu 09:36am | Graphing voting groups in the US Senate, go watch: http://bit.ly/3dqXl9 |
| thu 01:34pm | At dentist for a recrowning. This is not the proper path to god-emperor. |
| thu 03:10pm | @mcmoots you are the funniest thing ever. (note: I have a nitrous tank attached to me face.) <3 |
| thu 03:12pm | I like the future: I can tweet from the dentists chair, under influence of nitrous. |
| thu 11:39pm | Sweet zombie Jesus! The rain just started POUNDING down. |
| thu 11:44pm | And just like that it stops. And L slept thru it all. |
| thu 11:46pm | $150 for a 23" from woot? Arc needs two more, and I've been buying $600 Dells... Can I afford $300 now? |
| thu 11:46pm | @arjache only one big thunder. No lightning have I noticed. |
| thu 11:50pm | Dogs seem unperturbed. Did not wake their momma. I hope the power stays on. |
| thu 11:51pm | Decided: If still available in morning, will buy. |
| thu 11:52pm | Ok, NOW I see lightning. Bright enough to be right outside the door, but at least two sound-seconds away. |
| thu 11:59pm | Well, I need to read the specs first, I suppose. But not on the phone. Sleep for now. Worst seems to have passed for the moment. |
| fri 09:15am | The 20" I bought during wootoff arrived this morning. Sadly, the 23"'s specs are lacking, so no buy. |
| fri 05:40pm | Another reason I need a new job: they don't mail checks until the 5th. Joint account just overdrew on Amex autopayment. |
| fri 05:41pm | They mail the checks on the 5th, means I freqeuently don't HAVE it until the 9th or so due to weekends. |
| fri 05:58pm | @westseattleblog was definitely sleet up here. |
| sat 01:17am | @HollyQueen correct. Quite sucky even when paid on the first. |
| sat 01:22am | Excellent game of BSG tonight. Planning another in a couple weeks, and then the mega 12-14 player adaptation. |
| sat 02:47pm | Idea: memory wire spoons. Bend to the shape you need, flattens in the wash for storage. |
| sat 07:42pm | @dianthus that's the tricky part. I need to see how hot it gets during the dry cycle. |
