#100

First the important bit: This is post #100 for me. Whee!   Today was a good shopping day. I am currently full of the pork buns I bought for dinner. I’ve also got some ham-and-egg buns for breakfast next week. Also from Kowloon Market came taro and black rice mochi, a couple containers of the […]

Kittybrains

New toy!

I managed to procure a Cobalt Qube 2 today. It’s been a while since I’ve geeked on hardware, so I’m sort of looking forward to playing with it. It’s a neat little box — we had it lying around at work because they’re technically a competitor to one of our products, and a long, long […]

The newest version of the Phoenix browser has been released: Firebird 0.6. (Note name change.) The UI widgets are incredibly fast compared to 0.5, and there is a lot of refinement and new features kicking around. If you’re using an older Phoenix, upgrade. Still works with ns-cli, too. Yay!

technical difficulties

Blargh, I have teh FLU. So this in retrospect amuses me: I host a Web forum for Irish flute and tinwhistle players. The machine on which it runs lost a disk to heat, so we shut the machine down to prevent losing any more disks until we can get a new case. In the meantime, […]
