I was going to the bathroom at work and I'm the first to admit that there are a few places where all of my good ideas come to me, and they are all when I'd otherwise be ragingly bored if my mind didn't wander the way it does:
1) college classes - I don't have those anymore, but those were great times for my mind to check out and think of other stuff
2) reading a book - this is unfortunate since it slows me down in actually reading the book when my mind wanders off
3) sitting on the t

Those men and women that create that should be worshipped as gods. That is my new religion - we have one of those (the larger office version, not the personal addict version) in the office, as did my previous employer.

As a bonus, it is also apparently bad on the environment since the little K-cups aren't recyclable. They burn everything here anyway... well, not everything - witches they drown. But trash gets burned.

We know that HP, Coke, iTunes, WalMart (or was it KMart), MusicMatch, etc are trying to do online downloads of songs. You pay $N and then get N songs - instant gratification.

I went out and bought a 20gig iPod for my fiancee. Here it cost me $630. It comes with a 1 year warrantee on it, but since they have that known 18 month battery issue, I upgraded it to a 2 year warrantee for $90 more. Lots of money.
If she doesn't like it, I will sure as hell use it, but it isn't intended to be the type of gift where you get it for someone in the hopes that you will get to use it.

My head hurts, my heart is racing, I have to pee.
No it isn't love, but perhaps even better - I've ingested a whole bunch of coffee today.

I think I must have gotten rid of my caffeine mug that I got off of Thinkgeek when I moved here, so I no longer have that and am just using one of the ones here in the office.
I think I had at least 5 cups of coffee today.

I hate this feeling. I know it is in my head, the proverbial tip of the tongue moment. I hate the feeling.

I recall reading about a game that was posted on Slashdot within the past 2 years. It was less of a game than it is just a diversion - a relaxing one.
It used OpenGL and would take blocks and color them and then move them about in virtual 3D space and your movement would then influence how it behaved.

The fact that the only real dilemma in my life right now is that I want to get this phone, and regardless of the costs available to me, I can afford them all - this reminds me that my life is pretty damn easy. It is just a matter of whether I want to pay less and wait, or pay more and have it right now in my grubby little hands. Any complaints I have are pretty meaningless in my life right now. I am healthy, I live in a nice place, and I can afford everything that I need.

I am taking the rest of the month, starting on the 18th. I will have time to sleep, read, work on projects, and most importantly, goof off.

I have a new Mac, and I like it - even love it - YAY!

But the web browser and Java performance are related and unfortunately that performance is very very bad - DOH!

But I downloaded a developer release of a newer JVM and it seems to help the Java/Safari issues - YAY!

But then I found that there is no Komodo for Mac OS X and got an e-mail from them saying that they will in fact not even bother trying to make one - DOH!

Like I have recently said, I'm a new Mac fan - especially as of 10.3.

I will eventually need a desktop system - if not right now, certainly by the time I am back in the States (3 years or so, perhaps more, then I will be there for around 3 years).

I am going back to the States for Thanksgiving - I leave on Tuesday around 1:30 here - going into Philly and then layover there and then onto Raleigh from there where I will get a ride to Cary.
There used to be a direct flight from Bermuda into Raleigh, but that stopped and now I have to either through Philly, Athlanta, NYC, or Boston.
I'm not terribly thrilled that I will be going to the States around a holiday, but this might be the last time I see my grandmother - she is not doing we

I have 3 sidebars on the main page. Developers, Science, and Apple.

The Developer box tells me that my headline reader has been banned.
Excellent - their own reader has been banned - well done.

I installed Proteus as my chat program today - very cool - still getting used to some of it, but I like it.

Okay, well, not *you* so much - but more like the new T630 Sony/Ericsson phone.
I want that. Fortunately it doesn't come out for a bit, so that explains my inability to find it on Ebay. I thought maybe it was just impossible to find.

Today one of the owners here had me show him how to download mp3s and how it worked.
He said "wait, so this is going out on the internet?"
How the fuck else would it work retard?

I went for a run and have my runner's high going now.
I installed PithHelmet in Safari, that thing is fantastic - allows you to selectively block ads easily (without having to manuallly edit your hosts file, rerouting to your localhost - and I think it does it on a named basis, so that entirely servers aren't necessarily blocked).
Got color working in my Terminal.app for Gnu emacs - that is nice - still can't get it to work for ls, or for anything on the machine that I ssh into - but no

I love having a wireless system, it is quite nice - if only batteries would be better, then I could be truly wireless all over my apartment in terms of computing.

That said, my new 802.11g wireless router from D-Link is screaming in my ears. I know that I shouldn't be able to hear that frequency, so I assume it is some noise that is a byproduct of what it does, a side effect.
It is high pitched and piercing and I hate it - it is like having tinnitus only when I am home.
