wow
Apparently ntfs support in linux has come a long way. I just used ntfsresize (driven by qtparted from knoppix 3.9) to downsize my Windows Server 2003 boot partition, and it totally worked with no problems. That’s pretty fricking amazing.
The smugsmug bandwagon
Finally got myself a smugsmug account. Unlimited, backed-up space to put full size frames w/o advertisements for just 50 bucks a year. I don’t really get how they manage to keep the costs under control. Anyhow it’s way cheaper both in time and cost than maintaining my own server to store photos (I might even […]
You can never win

Aloe Vera Yogurt
This pretty common food item in Japan is impossible to find here apparently. I bought some at the Nijiya in Mountain View the other day because I happened upon them, but I’ve not been able to find them at any other Japanese store in the bay area since then. The closest I came was the […]
