Thu 4:04pm after a relaxed morning at home, followed by fighting grocery crowds, now in the office attempting to solve a database-coding problem. #
Thu 5:25pm think I fixed the code, so I won't have that project lingering into January. Off to enjoy the evening! #

Wed 2:34pm Will pay a significant chunk of what my car is worth to get it fixed; it's not really worth much otherwise, and I still owe too much on it. #
Wed 2:39pm Car companies seem to have phased out small cars around a decade ago, and are just now talking about bringing them back. New car in a year? #
Wed 8:02pm wondering if anyone's weekend plans include a screening of "2010: The Year We Make Contact". Wondering if mine should. #

Tue 9:17am Impressed w/Apple's Touch->iPhone gateway strategy. is.gd/5FxK9 Wonder if there'll be a viable Android answer to the Touch. (Archos?) #
Tue 9:22am Of course, for us while the iPod Touch led to wanting more, it also led to wanting Android rather than iPhone. I doubt we're typical though. #
Tue 10:10am glad I remembered the good (well, better) laptop speakers today. #
Tue 1:43pm Started exploring downtown tunnels to escape the cold. But so far only found four connected buildings including the statehouse. #
Tue 9:27pm Kept seeing people tweeting about "NYE". Had to Google it. Feeling dumb now, but amused by the search results. #

Sat 11:18pm Again stranded by the Acura on the side of I-70. Maybe I should start looking for another car. #
Sat 11:41pm Luckily Sydney didn't come along to the show, so she could come get me. Now I know what I'm doing tomorrow. :-( #

Sat 10:33pm Always fun to see a band that's graduated to big stages play on a 10-inch stage in a bar again. #

Wed 10:12am wishing I'd brought my good laptop speakers to the office today, since there's nobody else here. #
Wed 11:02am discovered that there's now a huge library of Chrome browser extensions. Twitter Intersect is a nice one for Twitterers. is.gd/5yQax #

Tue 10:40am just might have finally gotten Yahoo to deliver my mail -- after adding SPF, DKIM, and DomainKeys. #
Tue 2:40pm Why I have a bit more trust of Google, imperfect as it is, than of Apple or Microsoft: "The meaning of open" is.gd/5xCkC #

Mon 10:10am started and finished my shopping this morning thanks to Amazon and my sister's suggestion of no gifts for adults this year. #
Mon 10:12am (she actually said "no adult gifts", but I don't think she quite meant what that sounds like.) #
Mon 10:18am According to wunderground.com, today in Cols will be 9 hours 19 minutes long, and tomorrow will be a whole second longer. Happy Solstice! #
Mon 6:33pm Did not make it to the Columbus Ruby group meeting in time to get a seat. #
Mon 9:13pm Also missed out on non-meaty food at the meeting. Made it tough to listen or converse coherently. Finally getting dinner now! #

Fri 11:53am Yesterday: read about area codes to find invalid ones. This morning: reading about exchanges. Exchanges more interesting / less validatable. #
Fri 5:57pm Why did nobody tell me there was a radio dramatization of The Long Dark Tea-Time Of The Soul? is.gd/5sSsM #
Fri 6:06pm Also a radio series of the first Dirk Gently book! ....but I can't find that on CD.... :-( #
