12:28 attempting to get come to terms with KDE4 without losing my sanity. May even install it on Windows and Mac. #
12:33 still prefer Pidgin over Kopete for IM. Why can't Kopete get the contact list right? #

10:09 craving a cinnamon roll and coffee, but feeling oh-so-close to fixing this bug. #
10:16 .... or discovering that I already fixed the bug, and IE just didn't want to admit it yesterday. #
11:19 and of course with that bug fixed, done with work until further notice. #
12:00 at Stauf's: americano, pecan roll, wifi, and lunch on the way! #
16:48 Remembering when Cols had two good alt-weeklies. Now I hate both in different ways. Yet I keep grabbing them since there's good info there. #
16:52 Come to think of it, when there were two good ones the Guardian was still around. I've never liked Alive all that much. #
17:06 Listening to The Epicureans' 1994 CD "Little Man". Been too long since I last did. #

10:00 working again today, just to update/fix what I did last week. #
15:41 back to trying to work around weird browser bugs. Tired though; may be time for caffeine.... #
16:17 got caffeine. And chocolate. And sweet almond flavoring. Plus rebooted to MacOS X for more browser bugginess. (Safari Event wisdom welcome.) #
17:45 just may have resolved my buggy browser bafflement! I just had to think inside-out and backwards. #
18:30 well, almost resolved... it works everywhere except IE6. Now this is a world I'm all too familiar with. #

08:13 Went back to the car: brake releases now. Drove it to a shop, then got driven back home by my sweetie. Assume I'll get the car back tonight. #
14:05 car is done. (Under $100!) I could get it this evening, or I could try biking 13 miles... am I up for an hour of country-road biking today? #
18:28 Got the car back. It moves now! Didn't bike to it. #
18:51 Wondering just how long that brake has been stuck. I think the car now drives better than I ever remember. #

13:44 back to testing on OSX, then sidetracked by the lack of focus-follows-mouse. Re-reading Yegge's attempt at solving it: is.gd/Tqot #
16:12 OK, I can accept OSX not giving me focus-follows-mouse, but why can't I put the menu bar and the dock on different screens?? #
17:53 most likely without a job again tomorrow. #
19:10 Now my car's parking brake is stuck partway-on. I wonder if I'm anywhere near falling under Ohio's lemon law. I miss my Saturn. #
19:37 Seems like 1 wheel's brake is sticking (hot!). Brakes were new in October, so it's holding well. Will let cool, see if it's better tomorrow. #
21:46 Ha, lemon law applies within 1 year or 18K miles of factory. Not 9 years or 109K miles. I'm also nowhere near 30 days in the shop. #

19:17 Set up a nice stereo in kitchen, since we spend so much time there. Next: get Sydney speakers again. Later: connect kitchen to living room. #

11:51 loving the smell of the air around here the last couple days... but hating the way it tends to make me sneeze. #

20:44 has a possibly-unhealthy enjoyment of creating scalable PDF and PostScript files. #

08:36 enjoy noticing edits between the first and second broadcasts of Morning Edition. I'm weird like that. #
10:03 wondering where my Prototype.js book went. Luckily the online docs are good. #
10:48 every morning this week, not sure whether they'll need be to come in the next day. Shades of the Dread Pirate Roberts. #
15:00 starting to become convinced that Indian food makes me sleepy. Guess what I had for lunch. #
17:07 can't get off LiveNation mailing list; it claims "invalid email: cannot have numbers or _ after dot" which I don't have (and is wrong too) #
