Journal Journal: Google's crappy domain registration
I decided to give a friend of mine a domain name for Xmas. Instead of using my normal server provider (pair.net), I decided to try out Google. What a mistake.

Bluetooth Lawsuit 87
Krish writes "The Seattle Times reports that a local Washington state group is suing cellphone makers for patent infringement on bluetooth devices. Research conducted by a University of Washington undergraduate more than a decade ago has become the subject of a lawsuit filed against some of the largest cellphone manufacturers in the world.
The suit claims that consumer electronics giant Matsushita and its Panasonic unit, as well as Samsung and Nokia, are infringing on four patents sold under the 'Bluetooth' name."
Journal Journal: [house] Visitor in the yard 5
For the past two nights, my wife and I have seen a fox in the backyard. He comes between 10:30 pm and 11:00 pm, and he seems to be interested in the birdseed my wife tosses for the birds (I know they like blackberries, but I didn't think they liked sunflower seeds too). I lit him up with a Maglite this evening, and it didn't appear to bother him until I moved from one window to another. Then, he took off over the ridge at the edge of the backyard.
Wish I could see him during the day...
Journal Journal: Explosions & Fireworks too 12
It's time for the annual 'Pixie's New Years Redneck Adventures', 2006 edition.
You may remember fireworks shenanigans last year -- this year we had our explosions just a wee bit early.
In fact, it turns out that I indirectly saved several lives - including my own. I'm really, really happy about that.
