Although these digital SLRs let you take really nice pictures, they also take a lot of getting used to, especially if you haven’t used an SLR in a long time. I feel like I’m back to my high school days when I first took a class and learned how to use an SLRcamera. Thankfully, I […]
Finally made it over to Wolf Camera on 16th street and got one of these suckers. When I inquired about the newer d70s, I was told that they wouldn’t sell them in store until all the d70’s had sold, though I could order one if I wanted. I wouldn’t recommend going to that wolf camera. […]
I come home today to discover that my freezer door is slightly ajar. Ajar I say! I guess its been like that for a good 24 hrs.. everything inside has thawed. Thankfully, there was no ice cream involved. I ate as much as I could then left the rest to hopefully refreeze. I keep checking […]
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 […]
Added a disk, upgraded apt, apache, and mysql to sarge version. Next up: kernel, grub, and vmware tools.
Even with the help of multiple snapshots, I still haven’t figured out the exact order or things I need to do to upgrade my woody VM to sarge. I tried first upgrading the kernel, which made the vmware tools stuff break. You have to install kernel-image, grub, as well as kernel-headers and gcc3.3. Perhaps my […]
Spent Sunday in sonoma county with the crew. Photos are up. I didn’t buy any bottles for myself, but getting to try a large selection (probably about 20 total) was definitely worth it.
After being somewhat unsatisfied with my Panasonic Monitor 10R’s, I received by Beyerdynamic DT250-80’s on Friday. Not as super comfortable as I had hoped for, but definitely an improvement of the Panasonics. The velour material is much better than leather, it doesn’t get warm and make your ears all sweaty. Bass resposne is much better […]
My credit card application was rejected… again… why send me an invitation to apply when you’re just gonna reject me? So cruel.
Finally got a credit card offer for something a bit bigger than my sad sad 500 dollar limit I have now. The only thing was that it was a BofA letter telling you to go to mynewcard.com. Sounded pretty phishy, but upon googling about it for a little bit, it seemed legit.
