As an expirement, I purchased the latest episode of the Office from iTMS. The resolution of the video is a little less than I had hoped for, but if you sit back away from it when you watch, it still looks ok. It’s an interesting concept. Certainly easy to use, and cheap enough that I […]
Moderate Drinkers are Slimmer and Study suggests caffeine can help Liver. We really just don’t know anything do we. The only thing that is clear is the relationship between global warming and the number of pirates.
Finally done with the damn thing. This one took about 66 hours total, though not all of those hours were pure game play (lots of racking up coins at the in-game casino). Overall, I thought DQ8’s graphics were really nice (the toon-shading style works really well for the underpowered PS2) but the story and the […]
We managed to fix Ramesh’s dead powerbook on Saturday. Fixing a mac for the first time is an interesting experience for people like me who have been only fixing pc’s all these years.

Just the network meter had stopped working for me when I upgraded to 10.4.3. I found out that deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.ragingmenacs.MenuMeters.plist and then setting everything up again in the preferences pain fixes it all up.

This place is known for their sourdough crusts, and admittedly, the the crust was pretty good. The toppings were about normal […]
So we went to the place which JohnZ raves about… or well, at least he used to always tell us about the owner who is very talkative and friendly. Albona on citysearch. It’s a small place on Francisco street in North Beach. First, we all split the fried gnochhi and fried sardines appetizers. I went […]
A BBQ Party with waaaaay too much food, and many hours of grilling. Pictures Update: Claudia’s account and Matt’s account of the weekend.
