Gnome 3.0 is seriously going to take some getting used to.
I want my damn minimize button back. And I want to be able to switch to another app with one click, not two. Have I got a broken install?
Wow. Gnome 3.0 hides the “Power off” menu item. You can get at it by pressing Alt. Which I’m sure anyone would think of, right?
It’s funny how the last parking spaces to be filled are always the ones under the light poles. I only took one ONCE & had to wash my car the next day. As near as I could tell, every bird in Norwalk had perched on that light during the course of the day.
I’m impressed. TurboTax has an Android app that let’s you calculate & file just by taking a photo of your W2 with your phone.
Simple filings only, of course, but still…very cool!
I’m really annoyed when politicians oppose (or approve) policy based solely on *who* proposed it, not the idea itself.
Sadly, that means that most political news makes me really annoyed.
App store for a computer? Great! As long as it never becomes the ONLY way to install software, like on the iPhone & iPad. #Apple
The app store model has been available in major Linux distributions for years, but you can always add third-party software.
GUIs for Linux’s APT & Yum are basically app stores for free software. Linspire had an actual app store back in 2002 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNR_(software)
For future reference: Jerry’s Dogs puts a bucket of peanuts at each table. It would’ve been nice to know this BEFORE I ordered lunch. I’m glad I’m not so allergic that just being in the room would send me to the ER. Eating outside, but to be safe I’m not coming back.
Got the pertussis vaccine. With whooping cough epidemic in California, the CDC recommends anyone who’ll be around infants get shot.
Oops. That last tweet was supposed to say that the CDC recommends getting THE shot.
OK, that *is* an earthquake. For about 30 seconds I thought someone was stomping around or something.

So, 5.9 quake near Anza Borrego. That was a *long* one. It felt like it lasted at least a minute from here.

Strike that – in the last couple of minutes they’ve downgraded it to 5.4.
Haven’t seen the #FlashForward finale yet. TV signal was bad, so we put in a Wonderfalls DVD instead. Planning to catch it on Hulu tomorrow.
That’s a huge change. You used to have to watch through the distortion, or hope for a rerun, or find someone in another area who taped it.
…or otherwise go through unofficial channels. Now, if technical problems screw up a broadcast, you’ve got Hulu, Amazon, iTunes, etc.
Me: I’m going to focus on project X today! Computer needed for project X: I’m going to lock up today! Me: Argh!
…
OK, after 3½ hours stuck at 74%, I think I can assume chkdsk is stalled. *grumble*
…
Chkdsk round 3 is at 55% on Stage 5 of 5. Going to call it a night & hope my PC runs tomorrow.
In a brilliant move, I have just twisted my shoulder funny 5 minutes before driving home. At least it’s the left shoulder. Still: Ow!
…1 day later…
Right shoulder seems OK. Left shoulder still recovering from whatever the heck I did to it yesterday. The dangers of…office chairs?
WTF? I just tweaked my *other* shoulder doing nothing more exciting than reaching for my mouse. Nowhere near as badly, at least!
You know you need coffee when: you put a filter in the coffee maker, then go back to get…a filter for the coffee maker.
It gets better: after that I went to put the bag of coffee back in the fridge. Where I’ve never kept coffee. Ever. Batting 1000 today.
