it's 6:30 am and i'm not sleeping. i tried for a few hours, but couldn't turn the corner. i supposedly have a wake-up call coming in at 10 from shaver, so i'm probably going to try to get a couple of hours in. hopefully i don't know how to remove the battery from my phone in my sleep.
interestingly enough, they don't turn on hinting in their x server.
the new safari butchers this. of course this works (and is not only more clever, but looks nicer too).
shaver's wake-up jab arrived (i won't even mention it was late) way before the TiVo will ever get here. they have 28 minutes until i will be upset with them.
speaking of being upset, a few tests indicate that our megamodem hasn't been turned on. since i am already waiting for ups, i figured i'd give rcn a call. apparently, there was no record of joe actually ordering the so-called service, only checking on the pricing. the person joe talked to must have written down that we wanted the service on a napkin. i told the person i was on the phone with that indeed we wanted the service. since i'm not registered on the account, i had to get some information from joe from irc. i decided to call back, as joe might have been at lunch. when i did, the woman said i couldn't get the service added myself: joe had to call. even though i was just told the opposite not 20 minutes prior.
phik is megamodemming as i type this.
tivo is here. i've managed to distract myself with web monkeying for a few hours, so i need to get back to my driver.
it's a whole new house of blue.
A LIST OF THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN UPGRADED IN OUR APARTMENT IN THE LAST TWO DAYS:
- A NEW TIVO 2 (WITH USB ETHERNET DINGUS [ WHICH LETS US GET RID OF OUR LAND PHONE LINE ])
- MEGAMODEM FOR INFINITE INTERNET
- NEW SAFARI RELEASE
- NEW X11 RELEASE
- OS X 10.2.4
- UPDATED FINK (I HADN'T UPGRADED TO THE JAGUAR VERSION)
- WEDNESDAY NIGHT SITE REDESIGN (AND MY INBOX IS COMPLAINT-FREE)
if only joe would get an airport extreme.
it's 12:26, and i'm not all that tired. yesterday or the day before (whever i went to the store) as i was checking out my stuff some crazy old woman started talking to me. next time, i will remember to keep my headphones on. i really hope i can fall asleep, because i need to finish some things i was too lazy to implement the other day, and to actully hook up the device in /dev to the ipaq. and then it's GO TIME.
