Things I did over labor day weekend.

Slept.

Went to Prog Day.

Bought some books, even read some of them. I
finally got around to reading Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. I
had never read it before. Feel free to take away my geek card.
Also bought
The Pentagons New Map based on seeing the author give a talk/presentation
on CSPAN. The talk was one of more interesting analysis’s of the current
military/government/etc issues surrounding terrorism, the middle east, iraq,
etc that I have heard. Authors weblog
here.

Managed to almost knock a computer off of a table or desk by tripping on
a cable attached to it three times.

So, I’ve got some apps on the osx machine that came with manuals in
electronic form (pdf’s in this case). One is 450 pages, the other
is 650 pages. Not being a huge fan of reading massive pdf’s, I’d
like to print them.

And to go one better, it would be cool to get them bound in
some fashion as well. Kinko’s seems to be able to do this,
but the online version doesn’t support documents that size.
And there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of prices for
this kind of thing on the website.

Anyone got experience doing this kind of thing suggest
a prefered approach?

The recordings from the Phasmatodea
show on July 19, 2004 are up.

summary of the results from the last post…

1. keynav mostly works, except when it doesnt, mostly in
   3rd party apps
   

2. ctrl+click on Applications dragged to dock is workable
   but Quicksilver and Launchbar are
   both freaking cool and should be copied by gnome/kde immediately.
   (Or for that matter, apple…)
   

In other osx news, had the first case of “reboot it and it starts working”.
(in this case, the cisco vpn client failing to use the
right DNS. Or as a friend put it, “dunno, sometimes the DNS
gets stupid until you reboot”). I suspect there is a less
evasive way, but I don’t know it yet.
