Not on LiveJournal, but as zip_be. I picked the nick hastily, never liked it as an user id (damn you zippy!), and I'd like to believe it's one reason I don't post to my journal as often as I could (well there's that and the general malaise I've had since I was laid off). It sucks, so I got a new one. Problem solved ( Read more... )

Something for all you GWB fans.

Been several days (more than a week's worth!) since last I posted. Unemployment, depression, and the flu all rolled into one can make you do weird things, like ignore routine activities. So can Nyquil®.

I got absolutely no-where with the Web servers I was looking at for porting to the BeOS (some of them can be found here). Main problem is a lack ( Read more... )

Yet another one sent off while I wait for the glow of the sun to come creeping over the buildings and into the giant windows of my apartment (well maybe not giant, but I can stand upright in them with my arms outstretched, so they're pretty damn big).

Did you know I'm posting using the LiveJournal client for BeOS called AliveJournal? You can download it from BeBits. Consider this playtime for me right now -- though 'right now' is quarter to 5 in the morning where I am; must... get... sleep... Actually, I consider playtime to be all the time.

Here's my second post. All is still pretty much cool, except I really wanted 'Zippy' as my LiveJournal moniker. Since many of my tangents will be related to Be Inc. and the BeOS, this one will have to do.

This is my first post to LiveJournal. Ain't it cool and everything? :)
