So far me managing my own VPS on Slicehost is not outperforming Dreamhost. Problem is the guy at the keys I think. 😕
Checked into Hampton Inn in Bismarck for the night. Rest of drive tomorrow morning.
The Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová show sold out in less than an hour!
Leaving Sammy’s Pizza in Minot, ND. Only 90 more minutes of driving. (8 hours driving so far.)
In the pharmacy drive-thru at Walgreens feeling 132 years old.
Just ran into Dan Grigsby having coffee with Matt O’Keefe at my local coffee shop.
Just baked three loaves of banana bread. Yum.
Chase just ate half-loaf of banana bread off the counter!

Watching the Oscars out of some odd feeling of obligation. What the heck!?
Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova playing on the Oscars. Yeah! Definitely getting tickets for their show at the Orpheum.
Congratulations to Diablo Cody! A Minnesota Oscar winner!
Quiet Lately
I haven’t been posting much the last couple of weeks. My travel schedule has been a bit higher than normal, which you would think could lead to more posts but actually is the opposite. Plus, all of my “blog time” has been spent lately getting ready to move my websites to a new hosting provider and for some new stuff too. I’ll post more on that later. I’m still here.
Just calculated that I have 7,624,000 pixels on my desktop.

Having a frustrating time trying to export a movie out of ScreenFlow.
I’m totally impressed with how well done Slicehost tutorials are written. Very helpful. You’re actually smarter after following them.
Just moved one of my sites over to Slicehost. Now I wait for the DNS records to expire.
Just reconfigured PCI-e lanes to get a bit more performance. Afraid to go to slot 4 since it’s right next to the hard drives. Oh well.
String at awe at my now triple display Mac Pro. Ohhhh…
Using the optical drive on my MacBook Pro and totally shocked about doing it.
Watching The Family Guy on Hulu. Shocked I’m actually using Hulu. Solves broken TV problem.
Just finished doing the majority of the initial setup on my Ubuntu slice at Slicehost. Pretty simple with their very well written docs.
Back in hotel room. TV doesn’t work in this room. I find the failed TV more annoying than I think I should. Listening to Pandora instead.

Just finished tour of Fox Business studios. Pretty cool.
Giving up on NetNewsWires and NewsGator and going back to Google Reader. Just can’t deal with the suboptimal mobile experience.
Ordered an HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn. Looking forward to having a nice printer with all the whistles - Postscript, Duplexing.
Why isn’t there a Flickr channel on the Wii? This seems like such an obvious and easy thing. Please Yahoo and Nintendo, do this!
Totally obsessed about getting my MacBook Pro laser etched. Any suggestions?
Just got my Nabaztag hooked up to Twitter! Welcome Twitter people to Thinglestag!
