Doing my expense reimbursement for my recent business trip. I know, stop the excitement!
The good news: got TinyXP installed under VMWare Fusion on MBPro. The bad news: apparently no force on earth can install XP on my Eee PC.
Slowly but surely, the house is being emptied. Belongings are being
passed on to neighbors, the unwanted ones thrown out. Moving-out blues.
Nearly 4,000 emails in my Yahoo! mail, the vast majority of which is spam. Stunning. Fortunately I have my +5 anti-spam filter/Holy Avenger.

Note to self: the time to sync your iPhone and install downloaded apps is not “when you are rushing to leave work” — because you won’t.
Runs OS X at work and Ubuntu at the hotel, for now.

Aurora Feint has crashed on me twice in 3 sessions. Too bad because it’s a great app otherwise.
Downloading free iPhone apps when I should be thinking about lunch.
Testing Ubuntu 8.04 under VirtualBox on MacBook Pro: slower than VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop, but great for the price (free).

Beijing opening ceremonies: a continuous stream of mind-boggling wonders.
Downloading Ubuntu 8.04 for VirtualBox and Spore Creature Creator.

“It is possible to lead a cow upstairs, but not down.” Snapple fact # 40. Yes, I am drinking Snapple, first I’ve had in years.
Just saw Generation Kill e03. This is the best one so far. It’s the most pointed critique of our involvement in Iraq to date. Get some!
