Good Commies Hi-Res Cover Art
Four of my friends from the B-Squad Softball team are in a band called the Good Commies. I was finally able to add some of these wonderful tracks to my iTunes collection. I insist on high resolution cover art so I fired up the scanner. Here are the files for anyone else who is looking for them. I couldn’t find anything other than thumbnails online.
I think I might be getting “over the hump” with nginx. Had to debug something in my config and it actually made sense. 🙂
Upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 this morning and have more battery at 5p on iPhone 4S than I’ve ever had. By a big margin.
The lua-nginx-module is very cool.
Typing Big Green Egg on iPhone
Have a Big Green Egg? Have an iPhone with iOS 5 on it? Then you absolutely need to go here Settings - General - Keyboard - Shortcuts
Then create this shortcut to save your thumbs significant effort.
Garage Reclaimed
While doing our remodel we lost the use of our garage. We used it for storage and the contractors had a big dumpster in the driveway. For most of the summer there was also a small lumber yard in the driveway and a portable toilet. So we parked on the street all summer. Best time to do it but an inconvenience.
This last weekend we got the garage cleared back out and I was irrationally excited to park both cars in there again.
First Snow of 2011
First snow of the year just started falling. Really big flakes slowly floating down. First snow is always special. I hope it is still on the ground for Mazie in the morning.
The other day the coffee maker in the office was out of commission. From this note you can see the situation was dire.
Just made my annual contribution to the EFF. You should too!
Watching Jeremy Messersmith on NPR Tiny Desk podcast. Very good.
I have an IPv6 only website since Linode supports that. But none of my networks support IPv6. Can’t see my own toy.
Importing 300 CR2 files from Canon 5D Mark II with a POS USB card reader (vs. FireWire reader). This should be done in about 10 hours.
Listening to Elton John and now I want to throw a big house party! 😀
Maybe I’ll come around, but I’m hating on the new Google Reader so far. Shared Items was my favorite thing, and it’s just gone.
Awesome
@zacharyjohnson I made a video game for you. Play it now! Happy Halloween!
When I see someone using a pay phone these days I just assume they are doing something illegal.
Happy Halloween 2011
Ran out of candy at 7:30p. 100+ trick or treaters. Crazy night!
Eating a vegan chocolate bar and drinking a beer. Happy Halloween all!
I really need to see The Decemberists in concert. I like their albums more with every listen.
