  1. Morning. The girls have taken to waking up at 5:30 am lately. Watching Top Gear's top moments http://tinyurl.com/6ade79 to wake up
  2. BTW, my wife's Powerbook surgery was tricky but successful. It now has a 250GB hard disk, instead of the old 80GB.
  3. Attending a phone conf while taking care of my daughter. It's like rope walking while trying to juggle a cat.
  4. Made some very satisfying progress on http://grabcartoons.sourceforge.net/ last night. New release coming soon.
  5. …in reply to @undefined
    @vkoser Indeed. Luckily my teammates can cover most of what I would need to say, so I've spent the whole call on mute so far.
  6. Just finished loading the digital picture frame I got as a birthday gift. It's really nice, actually.

    @alexhutton I know the feeling all too well. Sickness ping-pong in full blast at home.
  12. Finally adding more books to my LibraryThing catalog. Took some photos of my bookshelves, working from there.
  13. It was a productive night of Cocoa coding and LibraryThing fiddling. Off to bed.
  14. WILTAC #5: zero is a special case http://tinyurl.com/5l2lw6
  15. Lazy Twitter: how do I export an iTunes playlist to disk (e.g. copy the mp3s to a folder)? Drag-and-drop to the Finder does not work.

    @Shrdlu I work in Rüschlikon, and live in Adliswil (which is down the hill from Rüschlikon, away from the lake)
  22. I finally decided to reinstall my Mac today, to see if I can get rid of the kernel panics. Restored from TM, everything looks good so far.
  23. About to do my third update-related reboot (updating from stock 10.5).
  24. Finally, reinstall fully finished, everything seems to be back up and working
  25. Damn. The reinstall did NOT fix the kernel panics when disconnecting my cell phone from the machine. Just had another one. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  32. http://twitpic.com/tkp6 - The view from my office. Quite a snowfall today.
