how long until we’re selling these in target?

been awhile since i’ve posted anything. been somewhat hectic at work, even though i’m only peripherally involved. osnews.com points out that beos lives. ebay didn’t turn up any beboxes, i wonder how many made it out the door before they stopped building hardware.

celeste flipped her rocking chair over backward, this morning. recognizing her need to thrill-seek, i offered to convert it into a go-kart, with rubber tires, roll bars, an engine and steering wheel. she didn’t think it was funny.

i picked up a pair of 15 dbi omni-directional antennas. one of them is destined for peet’s roof, the other for mine. with two 84mW radios, we should be able to build an ESS/extended service area using WDS or a layer 2 tunnel. tried talking nicole into a 6-foot mast to mount the antenna on, up on the crest…

wow! i spent a good deal of time reading from ‘the complete works of george fox’ in earlham’s digital quaker collection. i didn’t know this archive existed, until this morning. i really should go to meeting, one of these weekends. going to church with nicole (and the kids) feels foreign, still. all the ritual makes me…

i got hit; on the way into work today, i was involved in a car accident. drove celeste to school on my way to work and took the jetta down mission south from celeste’s school to 680 south. after washington, i followed mission (south) down to the 880 onramp. the metering lights were still on,…

grabbed a demo of newsgator. pretty spanky. it integrates with outlook and turns an arbitrary folder into the base for it’s “news” articles. the integration is really tight and it doesn’t hog much screen/toolbar real estate. i have not yet played with moveableposter, a newsgator plug-in that allows posting to moveable type blogs, but probably will in…

CPAN revealed that someone has already created a UPS screen scraper. it is outdated and it appears that the ups license doesn’t allow for this type of activity, anymore. shame.

got an almost immediate (7AM, this morning) reply from rangehoods.com claiming that ups lost my hood. i’m trying to decipher ‘origin scan’ on the ups tracking page. i don’t know if this means that they just printed the label or if it was actually billed and printed at a ups location. i would have expected…
