So I bought some peaches at the farmer’s market down by the Ferry Building on saturday. Today I discovered I had horribly mistreated them.
A few notes, in the hope that others will not repeat my mistakes:
The lighter-colored the peach the better.
Don’t refrigerate them unless they’re about to spoil.. it drys them out.
They’re ripe when they […]
Using itunes to feed my usb sound device which is hooked up to my DAC and speakers. I decide I want to move to a different room, and so I try pulling the usb cable while itunes is still playing. Music cuts out for a second, but then starts coming out the builtin speakers right […]
My new linksys router was about to go back to frys when I discovered that OS X has a network setting called “DHCP plus manual address” in which you can specify just the IP address that you want, but get all the rest of the info from the DHCP. It seems like a violation of […]
What a day.
My new notebook is obsoleted, just like that. Actually, not really. I’m sure Steve Jobs and Apple is not dumb enough to abandon its installed base of PPC customers. It would have been nice if it had happened a few years earlier though.. then I really wouldn’t have had to venture over to […]
So I finally decided to try to wean myself off the gmail interface and use mail.app instead. Mail.app is a fantastically written program, and its smart folders are so fast even for thousands of messages. I successfully downloaded all my 100megs of gmail email to my powerbook so far.
Everything seems to work alright except for […]
As I was sorting out all the bills, receipts, and forms that I had accumulated over the past 6 months, I found two checks, worth a total of roughly 450 bucks. This filing bin was totally worth it. ;-P
Wow, got most of it done and its just saturday. The room has much less random pieces of paper laying around (thanks to my filling box), the farmer’s market was so-so but not super (the Rainbow co-op is better), and the Heats vs Pistons game was a blow-out (I’m really looking forward to a Detroit […]

c|net is running an article claiming that Apple is moving to Intel chips… If it’s really true, what does it mean about my brand new laptop? Does it mean in less than 2 years, nobody will be writing new apps for it? I can’t imagine most development houses are going to like developing for two […]
A few days of decent weather, good food, and interesting walks.
Took the car from downtown Brooklyn to JFK again. It’s really sad to see how the outskirts of Brooklyn are in such bad shape.
The Powerbook was in its finest form, though on one occasion I did figure out how to make it lock up. […]
