yesterday…

Dropped off some small pieces at Glitter Gallery
for the “500 under 50” show. Glitter is the gallery above Father and Sons if you want to
drop by.

Went out to night 1 of The Great Cover Up at Kings. The line up for the evening
was Dinosaur Jr., The White Stripes, Badfinger, Jesus Lizard, and Pentagram.

Personal fave would of had to been the Jesus Lizard cover up. Quite impressive.

Theres two more shows, tonight and saturday.

Phasmatodea is also playing
saturday at the Nightlight.

I’m hoping I can get out early and catch some of the later shows
saturday night at Kings. Got a couple friends playing.

I must be stupid. I have a app (Firefox…) that has decided to make it’s window
slightly larger than the screen. On os x, this means the widget to resize the
window is now permantely off the screen.

So how do I resize the window without using the little thing in the
bottom right? Not having much luck finding key bindings
to do it.

Restarting the app doesnt work because it saves window size info.

today

After spending way too much time over the last year slowly improving (and
as often as not, breaking…) some code thats the core of what I work on,
I realize I have more info available than I thought and can simplify the
code greatly. Only took staring at the code for probably 200 hours.

Driving to/from work today I noticed my car making a strange noise
from what seemed to be the right rear wheel. It got louder while
making right turns, though could be heard a little while
driving strait. Applying the brakes makes it stop. It occurs
to me “It’s almost like the wheel is loose”. Get home, grab
the maglight, check out the wheels. Yup. Right rear wheel
has three lug nuts lose enough I can turn them with my
fingers. Yikes. That wheel hasn’t been off since I got
new tires ~8 months ago, so must of just worked loose.

Went to see Battles in Carrboro. Battles was freaking
amazing again.

Now I’m starting to get a bit ridiculious. Why even keep it on screen? Because
it’s the best way to see what apps are running. At least, till I figure out
a better way anyway.

Rock.

I seem to finally have a working sane way to synchronize bookmarks
between multiple machines now. Firefox plus the “Bookmarks Synchronizer”
extention.

I think the last time I had that working was Netscape 4.x something.

Lots of interesting shows this week.

Tuesday is Battles at Cats Cradles. I
like Battles a lot

Thursday, Friday, Saturday is the Great Cover Up. I know
at least two folks playing at some point. Last year it
was a blast.

On that very same Saturday, Phasmatodea
is playing at the Nightlight in Chapel Hill.
