My New Toy

27 Jul 2003

Got my new 12” PowerBook on Friday. It was easy to import my email archives and I’ve gotten some music over as well. While I was able to get iTunes to play Ogg Vorbis files, and it recognized the song and album names, it did not get the track numbers. Other than that things are [...]

Doplic

20 Jul 2003

I knew I did not make the word up. I used this word up at UW and no one knew what it meant. And it is not in the dictionary. Back then I check the internet and only found a couple of sites that used it. One mentioning something about Lancaster County. Well today while [...]

Blogging at UWaterloo

17 Jul 2003

11 Jul 2003

Two things I remembered while showering, that I wanted to blog. – Down at EMU something called Dumpster Diving was mentioned several times. Apparently there is a Frito Lay factory close by where there’s a dumpster (at least one) that gets filled with outdated or soon to be outdated bags of Tostitos. It is a [...]

My Bad

9 Jul 2003

It is definitely my bad for not posting in so long. Jon called me out on Sunday when posting a comment. True, I am falling behind, and now when I try to remember what I’ve done since my last post, I realize the importance of keeping on top of things. The largest adventure I’ve had [...]
