Goodbye, New York; hello, new life
(Special Valentine's Day announcement)
I haven't posted anything here in a good while, but I figured it would be a good way to very publicly announce and record something that I kept a very private matter for a long, long time:
Four days ago, Marie (damndirtydyke) and I went to the top of Haleakala to watch the sun rise. Of course, even in Maui, it's very, ( Read more... ) -
Another one bites the dust.
It sucks when you open your e-mail inbox, see a message with someone's name as the subject, and your first thought is: "Shit, he's dead."
It sucks more when you're right.
Goodbye, Chris.

Please, for fuck's sake, don't drink and drive.
Eric Ng was killed last night by a drunk driver near Houston Street on the West Side Greenway. The driver somehow managed to drive on the greenway and mowed him down. -
Kids These Days...
So a guy brings in a PowerBook. He says that every time he starts up the computer, the icon of his hard drive ends up in the corner on the lower right, instead of the upper right.

我很丟臉。我沒有吃 Fruity Oaty Bar。

Best news in a long time: babble's hard drive (see earlier post) mounts! I had tried it in a bunch of different FW enclosures, and in a G4 tower, but it wouldn't mount; it would just spin up and make lots of noise, which worried me. Then today, I was working on an older model G3, and figured, "what the hell, let me stick that drive in and ( Read more... )
