Short Updates
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.
Wish I was at our San Diego HQ campus today. The legendary "Mythical Man-Month" Fred Brooks is speaking at Qualcomm this morning.
Because of Firesheep (a Firefox WiFi snooper) I remind my friends to use the https (note the 's') web versions of Twitter/Facebook/etc.
From Msgr. Charles Pope: Holiness is More Than Being Nice and agreeable.
Via @FakeAPStylebook: Reporting on your own superheroic activity while in your secret identity as a reporter is an ethics violation, MR. KENT.
Walked over to the cafeteria. I foresee employee vision problems soon, ie. folks having a hard time seeing themselves working this afternoon.
Hmm. I've been studying org-mode recently & now I find my friend @MarcNo is giving a talk on it tonight in Manchester. (related link)
Via @Mnaughtin: “When life hands you Justin Bieber throw him back and demand lemons.”
“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.
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.
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.
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".
One last 9 o'clock conference call and I can call it a day. Good night all!
Snapshots I took today:
