Month: April 2007

I am sitting here in the Lakeland Square Mall eating my lunch. I had my laptop open to make some changes to my trip to California. I was thinking to myself someone is going to ask me about wireless in here. Sure enough, only after a few minutes of having my laptop open, someone walks by and asks if there was wireless in here. I honestly don’t know, as I don’t have my wireless card on. I am on my Sprint card (which is proving a better choice than Verizon cards, which seem to block Exchange servers).

Yes, I am going to California. I was going to fly to San Diego and drive to San Fran, then fly out, but now I just flying straight to San Fran, as it is hard to find one way rental cars.

I just read this on the bottom of Slashdot:

“…[Linux’s] capacity to talk via any medium except smoke signals.” (By Dr. Greg Wettstein, Roger Maris Cancer Center)

My first thought was, “Do you want it to?”

That is such a stupid phrase. It is not a knot until it is tied. Anyway, this is what Bobby has done. He is officially married. Tied down. Locked in. Forever and ever. I was the best man. I tried to be anyway. I hated doing the speech. Standing up front of so many people and trying to say something isn’t easy for me. I screwed up my speech and forgot to say a few things, oh well. Otherwise, it was fun. I also saw Hot Fuzz that night, which was pretty good.

The video is officially online. I have found a way to play the video file via Flash, so I know everyone can view it. You can find it on the Bobby’s Bachelor Party page. If you have any problems viewing it, please let me know. Also, if someone has a FireWire DVD burner that works on a Mac, I can convert the movie into DVD’s and hand them out. I may or may not allow the download of the video. The file created by QuickTime is almost 500MB (the uncompressed was 8GB!). The FLV (Flash Video) file I created was less than 100MB however, and it still looks decent.

Well, Bobby’s bachelor party turned out to be mostly a success. I got a good smile out of him. And he danced. I have video proof. I will be uploading it shortly onto the Bobby’s Bachelor Party page.

I am getting sick of banks.
