You can’t even take kid’s sunscreen past airport security. Mary has a case against the US Government if she ever develops skin cancer.
Turned in my letter of resignation with SI today. I will miss a high percentage of the people there 🙂
Accident on southbound Powers just past Aeroplaza backing up traffic.
On my way back home from dropping my sister off at the airport. We are all going to miss having family in town.
On the list of top ten things you really don’t want to hear your wife say, “… his testicles were huge.”
Mary seems to be impervious to cold. Freezing my ears off pushing her on the swing at the park.
I recently set up a usb drive with a bootable version of Ubuntu using the following tutorial http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar
It is geared to Ubuntu Gutsy but I was able to install the Ubuntu Hardy Alpha 4 with the same instructions.
Upgrade to Hardy Alpha 5, and Beta was really smooth, all I had to do was copy the new files into the bootable partition.
Stuck in traffic S I-25 on Motor City.
Twitter needs to implement some statistics on their users.
When I find someone that I may want to follow, I really want to know how often they tend to tweet before I follow them. Ideally, I would like to see the trend of their tweets over the last 7 days, the last month, and then perhaps the lifetime of the account. I tried to find some ways to get this information and stumbled across http://tweetstats.com, which is based on a perl script to generate some cool information but it takes too long and is not exactly what I wanted. At least it wasn’t fast enough. I need it now!
Then I realized that twitter gives you an RSS feed of the person’s updates and Google Reader gives you statistics of RSS feeds. So if I go to Google Reader and add the RSS feed for the Twitter user then I can click on the ‘show details” link and see the number of posts per day that the person averages, but my initial request is still out there.
While researching this, I found some interesting XMLHttpRequests from google in my Google Reader which spurred me to check out this article on Google Reader API which has, yet to come to light.
Mary said “I love you too” to me tonight without having to be prompted. Yay!
