Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:44 PM

I'm carpooling w/my boss this morning. ~3pm he & I are traveling into Boston to visit a seriously injured co-worker at the hospital. 05:41am

It's been wicked windy all night long and is still going strong this morning. Gusts up to ~50mph. Add that to 7°F/-13°C and it's just Brrr!! 05:50am

Before leaving the house, forget to bring a sweater and forgot to sync my iPod with the latest podcasts. Oh well, at least I wasn't driving. 08:39am

The site file servers have been down all morning for upgrades. All of our eng. data lives there. There's only so much admin you can do... 10:22am

Ah, the network file servers are finally back up. Time to dive into some serious debug and try to accomplish something before lunch. 10:54am

Whoa! Netflix has come down on the Blu-Ray side of the HiDef DVD wars. After the battle raging so long, it seems to be ending quickly. 11:41am

I can NOT believe this guy was allowed anywhere near The New York Times! How did he get past the editors?! (related link) 03:17pm

Finally ST Micro (cell phone chip manufacturer) makes a public announcement about the work I've done with them. (related link) 05:03pm

For ol' times sake the girls & I played MarioKart Double Dash (originally a GameCube title) on the Wii. Good times & brought back memories. 08:09pm

This was the 1st time we've played MarioKart in semi-hi-definition 480p on the large screen with audio beefed up for surround sound. 08:11pm

Looking into using Amazon's S3 service for personal offsite backup. Reasonable, scalable, and high bandwidth. (related link) 08:41pm

A day later & winter winds are still blowing briskly. It must be chilly outside. We shut the stoves & the furnace kicked in soon afterwards. 09:06pm
