Short Updates
Good morning! Between the Daylight Saving Time shift and the fact that we went to Mass last night, it seems like the laziest Sunday morning I can remember in recent years.
Diagram: Poor things -- Puts things into perspective, doesn't it.
Microsoft furious at $2,000 bounty for open source Kinect drivers. Wow! Heaven forbid others use the hardware in ways not intended/envisioned by Microsoft.
Holy cow! I had no idea "indentation style" was even more contested among coders than Emacs vs Vi debates. (related link)
In my younger years of being an altar server, using a censer was never, ever this cool! (related link) Look at it go!
Tim & I looked into installing Wii Homebrew. Because we're up to date with Ver 4.3U, we'll need Lego Indiana Jones or Smash Bros to hack in.
Tim & I were looking at decals for my MacBook. This one gave us a big laugh.
The boys and I stayed at home most of the afternoon while Michelle and the girls did some clothes shopping. When they returned we took the family to Kowloon Wasabi for dinner. Near the end we thought perhaps the kids would get a kick out of seeing "The Blues Brothers". I've ordered it from Amazon to be streamed to our main TiVo.
After reading more about what is possible on a "Homebrew Wii" I decided to order the equipment necessary for it. It'll be a fun nerd project, akin to the Hackintosh project I did ~10 months ago.
On a Mac but use web based mail tools? You must check out WebMailer so that you can click on mailto: links.
"As soon as you willfully allow a dialogue with temptation to begin, the soul is robbed of peace, just as consent to impurity destroys grace." -- St. Josemaria. Furrow #836
Thinking of giving Arch Linux another try, esp. since LifeHacker published this guide with the steps.
I'm now 1 hr 50 min into The Blues Brothers, ie. the awesome-est police chase scene ever filmed. And back in 1980 no less!
The movie is over and I've only ~1/2 hr left on the laptop. Time to update the website and get some sleep. Good night all!
