Oh noes, my high fallutin' art loving nature has a channel on my TV Ovation TV Network. It's channel 274 on DirecTV. No clue if Comcast cable has it. I usually look to Logo or Bravo for art stuff, somehow art is faggy, I don't think so. Maybe this new Ovation channel will help change the perception of the arts.

Wish I never found this site. My thumb is killing me because I've been playing Pokemon Diamond way too long without a break. I named my "friend" Asshole, cracks me up when his mom gives me a package for him, she sez something like, "Give this to my little Asshole when you see him." You'd have to play the game to think that's even remotely funny.

Saw a line-up at an ATT store (Spokane don't have no Apple Store), assume they were waiting to get the iPhone. Thought I might see what the Apple Store online said, and it's 2-4 weeks if I order online. That sucks, guess if I want one sooner I could go to ebay, or check all three ATT stores here in town. I don't have that much of a hard-on for it, still not sure I want one.

I kinda look like that guy, except not as fat, no offense fat guy in picture I don't know. And I don't have long hair. He's probably taller than me too. That is why I don't like my picture to be taken, visual proof that I'm a fat ass.

Uploaded a video to YouTube today, it is way too easy. That helps explain why there is so much crap on there. Pretty sure I shouldn't have uploaded it, (copyright stuff). I don't know, I'm making a video in one format (wmv) more accessible. I'll take it down if asked.

Develop for Safari and develop for iPhone, same thing. I guess the question is how does Safari interact with the ... stuff inside ... for example, does the microphone operate while in wifi mode? Cause I really want my iPhone to be a wifi phone and cell phone at the same time. Stefan Tilkov: iPhone SDK. My magic eightball is telling me "try again later".

The movie is set in 1999. Why are there flat screen tvs (might be plasma or lcd) and xboxes? Alpha Dog (2006) And all the tattoos, were punk ass kids all tatted up in 1999? I had a few tattoos by then, don't recall seeing a lot of neck tattoos in those days.

Why did I watch this? Now I want the iPhone even more. Apple - iPhone - A Guided Tour - Large

Should I buy it? I pay for BBedit... seems kinda not in the spirit of Gimp to have to buy it. How does this version conform to the open source original? Purchase and Download MacGIMP. If I install the developer tools and X11 I can run GIMP that way, but if MacGIMP is optimized for OSX it might be worth the money. X11 programs are goofy on OSX, they are nice to have but wouldn't want to use them daily.

Nevermind, didn't read enough about it, it still requires X11 or XDarwin. Why the hell would I pay for it when it's free?

Update: The reason why I don't want to use X11 programs, number one is you can't copy and paste between an X11 program and a native OSX one. Another reason is that the fonts look like hell on the X11 program. DarwinX might help with both of those issues.

A site I'm a partner in is making money, almost, still has a way to go before profit. Seems crazy that a dumb jerk like me can potentially make a few dollars for doing nothing except providing information. This site doesn't make any money, but I'm ok with that. I could put more ads in other places and might get a few more page views, I don't care. Maybe I should, just to get to the 100 dollar level faster to get paid by Google.

The review of this screwdriver on the Home Depot site is 100% accurate. I highly recommend it. My only complaint is that the handle is too long in some tight places, like inside a MacBook's battery compartment. I had to hold the bit by hand, but it worked out ok and now I have 2 gigs of RAM. Husky 8-in-1 Precision Screwdriver - Phillips and Slotted - 74501 at The Home Depot

Wee, got my RAM today. So excited, need to install it now. How does it go in? The keyboard doesn't lift up like it does on my iBook. Must be from underneath in the battery area ... Shoot, don't have a screwdriver small enough, requires a Phillips size 00. instructions

Heard a scary story today, scary to me anyway. Seems that some people think it's ok to punch their dogs if the dog screws up. One guy said, "Go ahead and report me to animal control...I don't care", I didn't say anything or display my disgust. Dogs might not be the smartest animals, but do you have to beat them? Try actually training it. I don't think hitting needs to be part of the training. Pet-Abuse.Com - Animal Cruelty

Ordered 2 gigs of RAM for my MacBook recently. Decided to track it's progress to try to figure out when I might get it. So far it's gone from Salt Lake City Utah, to Commerce City Colorado, to Louisville Kentucky, then to where it is now, Seattle Washington. If it's in Seattle tonight, I expect it to come on a truck or train and arrive by Thursday at the very latest. That's a lot of miles it's traveled, I figured it go directly from Utah to Seattle then to me.

I've been watching these Japanese movies all day. At first I thought it was a Jap version of Rocky, but the timeline wouldn't work because these great films came before Rocky. These movies always end up with the hero helping out a kid. The hero never gets to have a wife and kids himself. When he fights a bear his girlfriend shows up to watch and tells the kid he's befriended to tell the hero "I'm going home" after it's obvious he's killed the bear, she was never actually in the presence of the hero. Those "Karate" movies helped shape Quentin Tarintino's making of "Kill Bill".

Watching the news, top story was "A Kent man was killed..." I heard "A kept man", I don't want to be killed, but to be a kept man would be sweet, depending on who was keeping me. If Paris Hilton was keeping me I could get away a bit during the next 40 days and she couldn't stop me.

I really need to start ripping my Netflix movies via HandBrake then sending 'em back the next day. If only I had a way to show the ripped movies on my failing projector. I can burn it to DVD but don't want that, it must be via my home network. Apple TV? Perhaps, or maybe Ubuntu iBook with video adapter to VGA...wonder if I can use the VGA adapter in Ubuntu...would still need a long cable to hook the laptop up to the projector. Another thing to work on, damn you brain, so full of ideas!

Not kidding about failing projector, that bulb is gonna go dark any day now, replacement bulb is over 350 bucks.

Do pugs ever stop shedding? Sheesh, hair everywhere. Staying at my folks place for who knows how long and they've got a couple of pugs. I would think that in the cold weather they'd keep as much hair as possible. Maybe when it gets colder.

iPhone glass replacement kit showed up today. The glass in the kit was broken. Shoot.

Dummy at work told me that today. He voted, but didn't vote for president, just local elections. All because of the electoral college system we have, his lame state of Idaho only has 4. He claims that he hates the electoral college system and would rather that the popular vote would prevail. Hey dummy, you didn't vote for president, so yours didn't count period. Obama won the popular vote as well.

The movie still sucks, but it looks a lot better in Blu-Ray. I will say that you can sort of tell the bad guys from the good guys in the higher def version. Viewing the DVD version I couldn't really follow the action, or tell which robot was which. To be honest I was catching up on email and stuff during the heavy CGI scenes. Just wanted to see what's her name in a belly shirt and short skirt in high def.

I've seen that people take credit for my work. Not difficult work, took me 15 minutes or less to do it, squeezed it out before I left on Friday. Emailed the result of my work to the coworker that requested it. Subsequently read an email where that coworker claimed that they created it, they may have edited it, but don't take full credit. Just gives me more reason to hate on folk. This particular coworker couldn't have created it ever. Best to move on if able. Will be with some folk this weekend that might have some options.

It's obvious. Why even debate it? If you look at Kristen Wiig's nose in "Walk Hard" and how it looks on the most recent episodes of SNL, it's clear that she had a nose job. I personally think she looks better.

WTF does "opposed defending marriage" mean? Does that mean he or she thinks homos should be able to get married? Fucking christians need to learn that America isn't a theocracy yet. Are there any non-religious congresspersons or senators?

I just bought a new glass screen and tools to replace it off eBay. Shit is coming from Hong Kong. Why do they call it 2G? That 2G stuff confuses me. Anyway, even if it's the wrong size it was only around 14 bucks. Isn't the 3G iPhone the second generation? They claim it fits a 4 gig iPhone, so that would be a first generation iPhone.

A local company can replace the busted glass screen on my iPhone for "... $65 (parts), $10.88 Shipping, and $35 labor...", so hmm, math, let's see 110.88. Cheaper than sending it back to Apple. Too bad I don't have some other phone lying around I could put the sim card into during the repair time. They say 5-10 days turnaround. Would they need to have my iPhone the whole time? Need to find out what it would cost to get out of my ATT contract. Then go T-Mobile and G1, depending on what it costs to dump ATT. Although, I'm liking an App on the iPhone called GasHog that helps you track how many miles per gallon you get, and what the fuel costs per mile.

That G1 looks goofy, has no standard headphone jack, doesn't play video, not truly open thanks to T-Mobile, has a 2 year contract like ATT.

Fuck it, I'm stuck. Maybe I'll get the 3G iPhone instead and sell the busted one to help offset the cost. I'll have to make sure to take blurry pictures of it.

It was very easy to setup the first 3 times. Why 3 times? Well, I'm trying to use Boxee on it and that requires some work, not really, but I tried it over again when samba wasn't working. Still need some work to get samba shares to load. All the iTunes stuff works great, I can stream any media in my iTunes library fine, movies I've bought, podcasts, music I've bought. What I really want is samba shares to work. That will involve some ssh and ftp work. NitoTV may be the answer. Not a novice to ssh or ftp so I'm not scared about it, just too late in the day to tackle it tonight.

BTW: Never knew I could boot from a USB card reader.

BTW 2: The 2.2 Apple TV update included 1080p.
