Green What?
Mark Pilgrim describes his own, and my, gardening abilities:
My aptitude with plants can only be described in the negative. Take all the qualities of a good gardener, and negate them, and that's me. ... I have telepathic powers that can kill plants just by looking at them. I can burn out a lawn in a hurricane. I am the opposite of a "green thumb".
Mmmm, DVD
Well, our DVD player finally showed up! Woohoo! (Darn that cheap ground shipping. -)) So I'm reading the manual, and watching True Lies.
Are you sick of Sid yet?
I've been working on Sid (obviously) for the last couple of days - I made some (finally) very nice improvements to the interface. In the last few versions, the settings for the conversation were done in a drawer. The drawer was almost as large as the document window, which was awkward and just not elegant.
another test
unfortunately i can't test Sid without posting a bunch of bogus messages to the site. I'll delete them later. Sorry for the email clutter.
Sid enhancements
Ok, I took a little while to get Sid up and running again, and I've added a few enhancements. Sid now has the option to ping weblogs.com when posting to your Conversant weblog. Fun fun fun!
Sid Enhancements, Part Deux
Woohoo! Sid now lets me italicize, bold, and underline, as well as link.
Speaking if digital cameras
Brad points to this cutie - the Cubik is the world's smallest megapixel digital camera. Neat!
282.0 kB/sec !?!
Boy, wish our cable modem could fly.
This is a test
... of Sid's weblogs.com ping. One ping only Vasily.
Need help finding digital camera
Jodi and I have decided to get a digital camera. Specifically, we've decided on the Canon Powershot S30. We had settled on the Nikon Coolpix 775, but switched to the Canon for the following reasons:
3.2 Megapixel camera: the Coolpix was only 2.14
More ergonomic shape and weight - the 775 was just a bit TOO compact and boxy.
The Powershot has a microphone for capturing video AND sound; it can also be used to annotate stills I believe.
The menuing system on the Powershot is a marvel of tiny Information Architecture. The Nikon's menu was nearly incomprehensible.
Sid working again
Yay! I managed to get Sid, my Cocoa-based Conversant posting utility compiled again. I lost some of the more recent work on it, but I've since changed the way I categorize posts, so the missing functionality is not missed.
PBX 2
For the Mac OS X programming weenies out there: Project Builder 2 is coming... This new release will be many times more configurable, and hopefully faster! [thx Jim]
