Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 08:57 PM

Good morning! I dropped Claire & Abby off at their schools and head down to the office. I'm now done with the first half of The Odyssey. I'll have to transcode and burn a CD with the second half tonight/tomorrow. 8:40am

Wish I was at our San Diego HQ campus today. The legendary "Mythical Man-Month" Fred Brooks is speaking at Qualcomm this morning. 9:10am

Because of Firesheep (a Firefox WiFi snooper) I remind my friends to use the https (note the 's') web versions of Twitter/Facebook/etc. 11:17am

From Msgr. Charles Pope: Holiness is More Than Being Nice and agreeable. 11:32am

Via @FakeAPStylebook: Reporting on your own superheroic activity while in your secret identity as a reporter is an ethics violation, MR. KENT. 11:34am

Walked over to the cafeteria. I foresee employee vision problems soon, ie. folks having a hard time seeing themselves working this afternoon. 1:25pm

Amazon link to this bookHmm. I've been studying org-mode recently & now I find my friend @MarcNo is giving a talk on it tonight in Manchester. (related link) 1:29pm

Via @Mnaughtin: “When life hands you Justin Bieber throw him back and demand lemons.” 4:10pm

“Every single great idea that has marked the 21st century, the 20th century and the 19th century has required government vision and government incentive,” -- Joe Biden. Excuse me, I just threw up a little bit. 5:30pm

Smooth drive home from work. Wasn't really watching my driving but somehow still achieved 55mpg tonight. Since I had no audiobook prepared, I just listened to Tech News Today #103. Wish I could go to the org-mode talk up in Manchester, but I'm tired and have a conf. call at 9 o'clock. 7:15pm

It has finally arrived in today's mail. I've finally broken down. Microsoft Office:Mac 2011. See snapshot below. I just got too annoyed with teaching people how to import/export from iWork and OpenOffice. We now have The Real Thing. 7:38pm

Also in today's mail, "The Art of Manliness", seen at right. It's an entertaining book. Claire was getting a kick out of it. The link takes you to Amazon where you can "Look Inside". 8:56pm

One last 9 o'clock conference call and I can call it a day. Good night all! 8:57pm
