New Phones, elbows, snot

Samsung Galaxy S for Sprint AKA Epic 4GMost appetizing post title ever?

Yes!  Fortunately for you, there aren't going to be any pictures of my snot, despite the fact that there's so much of it that it's hard to keep out of pictures.  And food.  And everything else, really.  Yes!

So, here to amuse you is the tale of two phones replaced and the phones that replace them.  Here to repulse you is more vague description of gross sinus problems.  Here to entice you is mention of the writing project that Casey and I are slowly putting together, as well as the script I'm working on slowly-but-surely.

Past the break, you'll find all this and more - click through if you dare.

Yesterday, typical, low-key Sunday, saw everyone else watching the Emmys and me doing super geeky stuff in the garage and up here.  Click through for the story, but I warn you, it's SUPER FUCKING GEEKY.

Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it not well

The air conditioner is fixed.  In case you were wondering.  Which I'm sure you were.

Over the last few days when I haven't been working, Casey and I have been discussing a writing project/blog thing where we write about our experiences eating out and doing shit in LA.  We'll see how it goes.  I'm hoping for good stuff.

Also, we went camping in Topanga on Sunday night, which was awesome, but way too short.  I got bitten in the elbow by some crazy-poisonous thing that's been making my elbow-life a living hell for the last few days - pain pain pain and swelling like crazy keeping me from moving my left arm more than about 50% of its range of motion.  Ghetto.

Saw Piranha 3D 2 days ago - it was awesome.  Everything a movie called Piranha 3D should be.  I'd say it was better, for its genre, than The Expendables was for its genre (although I may have liked the Expendables more, if only because of the actors in it).  Both were pretty good.  I'd like to see Scott Pilgrim today or tomorrow, and then whatever came out this weekend.  I've been a little better about seeing movies recently, and I'm trying to keep that up till I leave the country again.

Which is happening mid-September, but I don't know exactly when.

That is all for now.

Whoa it's hot!

Dunno where to file this one, but the heatwave came in with a vengeance yesterday.  By the time I realized it, it was late in the afternoon, so we didn't turn on the air.  But if we had, we'd have realized that the air broke sometime in the last month that it's been off.  So... no AC today.  At least it's supposed to cool down tomorrow?  We'll see how that goes - they were saying the weekend wasn't going to get out of the 70s this morning, so we can hope.

Anyway, besides the heat, the only things of note are Casey's mom's visit that's been nice, and the fact that I'm now back to work on MWS stuff.  Also, I need to get a Yellow Fever shot - i wonder how I do that.  I should also get some pictures taken for visas and such tomorrow.  And pick up the plexi tray for the 4-shell road case.  and get a haircut. errands abound.

Football is almost here!

Oh man.  The elation and the depression are almost on us.  Lots of eating out in the mornings, beers before noon and hoping to beat whatever bullshit team we're losing to that week.  I didn't see the entire game last night, but I liked what I saw, mostly.  Except that Kolb looks like Pacey.

Happy Saturday!

apt-get install ubuntu

I'm not quite ready to ditch Win7 (but I'd like to!) on my main computer yet, but I've been having really good luck with Ubuntu, both as the only installation on my laptop and as a VM on my workstation.  I've had to work with the virtualization more and more recently due to some website testing, and I just leave it up a lot otherwise because I like seeing it over there.

I'm using Ubunto 10.04, and I love Gnome, I love apt-get installing things (SO EASY!) and I love the built-in feel that this version has with a lot of the base installs.  Chat app?  Built in.  Standard, useful desktop stuff installed?  Absolutely.  And having a desktop within a desktop is especially weird - when I use the Desktop Cube effect from Compiz in the VM it almost blows my mind.

I'm using AWN as a dock, which I like a lot, but it does come with a simple problem or two - I don't know where to find icons for installed programs that I want to put in my dock.  I'm told I really should try Docky, but what it'll do that AWN doesn't is a mystery.  Maybe when I run up against a shortfall in AWN I'll try it.

And I'm definitely using only Ubuntu on whatever my "real" laptop becomes this fall - it'll be time to get something then (a t410s, maybe?), and Ubuntu will be the only OS on there for sure.

That's it for the geeky linux love for now.

Miss me?

WomenHello again!  I'm making not updating a habit, it turns out.  Maybe the cold summer makes me bad at updating.  Here's some stuff.

  • New Pictures from the Roast Afterparty
  • Saw Drew, April, Emily & Mom in San Diego as Drew & April looked for a new apartment.
  • Helped Steve pack his apartment and prep to leave SD. Sad.
  • Rode my bike all over yesterday
  • Been working on the BRANDED website/concept quite a bit
  • Bootie was awesome - I'm thinkin' of taking a model there next time to shoot some awesome-color shots.
  • I'm still learning about my camera - the curve is steep.

What else?  Nothing that I can think of.  I'll probably come back later.

UPDATE: I'm also making a series of little changes to the site.  More pictures, and links to other stuff I'm working on, in case anyone's interested.  I'm even putting things in the footer, for god's sake.  This is getting intense.
