Quoted: Yesterday I was thinking to myself a) "The time for reading is over. The time for writing is at hand." b) I should start a miniblog, exclusively about work and/or coding, and exclusively written in vague oracular one-liners. c) I'd get about three posts in and then abandon it for lack of anything new/interesting/oracular to say.

Quoted: ok, yeah, arcturus is fucked. swapped out the ram, removed the new video card, pulled both hard drives and tried to boot of a cd.. nothing. in verbose mode, the cd boot dies while loading Extensions.mkext. So, I'll be taking it into the apple store this weekend. And I will be unpleasant to anybody who suggests the third-party ram is to blame. Hi,

Quoted: Today I made corn. We bought 8 ears at Tony's yesterday, put six of them into saltwater in a pot in the fridge, and the last two.. I experimented on a bit.

Quoted: the kindle converter screwed up the formatting of the PDF of Little Brother, so it's unreadable. and now, it won't accept either the html or text versions, for no readily explained reason. I took some zyrtec last night, since we had some on hand, and I'm still a zombie. dunno that it has helped any.

Quoted: In other news, arcturus appears to be gefucked. I doubt iPhoto managed to total the system, so I'm wondering if perhaps iPhoto's problems were a symptom of a ram issue. Either way, it won't boot. Booting into mac it gets to the grey screen with an apple and ... stops. I left it there overnight to see if it got over it. It didn't. I booted into windows

Quoted: sigh. iphoto has crashed twice tonight. once it greyscreened arcturus (which, inconveniently, also killed the virtual linux box that's doing builds in the background).
