Comment Reference Board (Score 1) 4

I'm using the Atom 330 Intel Reference Board as a Hackintosh, and it's pretty serviceable. It's no speed demon, but it surfs adequately. I use it as my primary coding box at work, running a 24" 1920x1200 monitor on the Intel graphics (945G?). It does light duty transcoding commercials for customers... hard work for the system but the Mac software I use makes it too easy to do anything else. It's fast enough for short videos, but it chokes on Hulu. Glad to hear you got the problem under control

Wish I had profound insights and words of advice, but I'm pretty weak. Hope you and puppy are doing better. /:^(

Journal Journal: Interface 2

OK, seriously... it took me two minutes to figure out that my last journal was too old to comment in... just couldn't seem to see that line of text in the haze of an interface.

Comment Mac Notes (Score 1) 5

Hey, cool about the new MBP. Some quick notes that may make your life easier: There's a "ignore accidental trackpad input" option in Trackpad under System Preferences, which should cut down on finding your cursor wandering around your textarea or word processing document. The second, which I love, is under the Keyboard Shortcuts tab of the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane. The setting is "All Controls" under Full Keyboard Access. This lets you tab through buttons on dialog boxes or links in web pages, and more. Very nice. -- Oculus

Haven't been here in a while. I'll try to keep better tabs on this place.

Journal Journal: Writing: Opening

warm.

Neythan rolled over and threw back the comforter. The first blue glints of morning were peeking in through the frosted window. Snow had been falling steadily through the night, and sharp crystal lines streaked the window panes. The room was cold, and wisps of foggy breath hung in the air above him as he stared at the ceiling.

can't stay this way for long. i'll freeze.

Journal Journal: Politics vs. Movies

This is all off the top of my head. Your opinion and/or facts would be appreciated.

I think movies and politics are opposites. I don't think we see as many "Blockbuster" films these days as we did ten years ago. I think it's becoming easier to put out a new and interesting "good" film and achieve success rather than the fewer, more expensive films completely dominating. More variety without much sacrifice.

Journal Journal: Writing: Past Sense (Trains of Thought & Randomness)

Sanctified motherfuckers
drink the lake dry
eat all the cake
leave us parched
scratching for crumbs

Bless me father
for I have sinned
it has been three months since my last depression

white cloth swears at black cloth
They're unclean
You cannot save them
Why bother trying?

Let them run down the drain
swirl around
til the soup of retribution is ready
salt and pepper to taste.

Journal Journal: Writing: Train (Intro) 1

It's four past midnight when the train rolls through at Mach 2, only disturbing those of us already awake. My God, you should feel the world shudder when two thousand tons of steel and product rolls by at fifty-five.

Journal Journal: State of the Union: AFC Syndrome 8

So, here it is. We've come down to it. AFC Syndrome, and it may be terminal. I speak of the United States, and AFC is short for American-Fucking-Citizen.

If you aren't familiar with it, count yourself lucky. My first exposure to this syndrome was actually in a campy horror/comedy called Modern Vampires. It wasn't until some years later that I actually witnessed someone use the term seriously.

Journal Journal: My New Site 3

Five days ago, I bought armyofnone.com. Today, I've got the start of a site. It's a bit of a throw-together -- just a few hours work, and a bit broken -- but I am interested in your thoughts on it. Hoping for emphasis on the design & usability likes & dislikes. Be brutal.

Much appreciated.

Journal Journal: Politics: Army of None

Your party is the enemy of the free.
It is an excuse to never compromise.

I do not want your excuses.
I would rather have a reason with which I disagree than any excuse.

You say I might not like it.
I don't have to like it.

I do not want your friendship; I want your respect.
You should want the same.

You hide behind your freedoms, yelling like an angry teenager.
"I'm an American fucking citizen, and I can do what I want!"

Journal Journal: 19" Widescreen 2

I have a 19" widescreen at work.

Right now, it is upended, and balanced on a pair of stacking file trays and a pad of random prescription-medication sticky-notes. Widescreen no longer. I give you tallscreen.

Man, reading CSS has never been easier. Now, if I had another in landscape, it'd be awesome. 900 pixels is a bit narrow for viewing many web pages. Sad, really, because I like to not browse full-screen on my 1024x768 PowerBook.
