San Francisco was awesome. Sara and I went and saw Julie's new place which is quite nice and only a few blocks away from the bay. In fact, you can see Oakland from her living room. We did everything, we went to Stinson Beach, drove the Golden Gate Bridge, ate some delicious sushi (we had to get ther 15 minutes before the place opened in order to not have to wait for hours), went to a house party, met some of Julie's awesome friends, met up with my Aunt Peggy and cousin Courtney, shopped in the Hate Ashberry area, shopped the Mission district, Spent way too much money at Amoeba Music, played some Gestures, ate mounds and mounds of awesome food, visited the SF Museam of Modern Art, and had some In & Out burgers. We did a lot and it was great fantastic fun. This weekend was quite exciting and superficial for me. Sara got cable internet, whcih is awesome. We also got a wireless network set up here, which is better. We also got TiVo, which I am really looking forward to. No more VCR's or missing shows or being dependant on the times that shows come on. This will be nice since I have been feeling like too many nights are TV nights because of 1 or 2 shows. Now maybe we could cram all our favorite shows into one night and use the rest of the week to do more productive things. And while I'm on this superficial roll, I might as well tell you that I am buying a 2003 Black Nissan Xterra which is just going to be awesome. I got a great deal on it (I'm buying it from Sara's dad) and it only has 27,000 miles on it. I will probably have it on Wednesday night and I'm sure I'll post about it later.
Seeing as there is nothing else interesting to post about, I thought I'd share this. It's a case for archiving in gmail. A lot of people delete emails in gmail, I archive them so I can search them later, even if I don't think I'll ever need to read it again, just in case. Well, I had accumulated 718 email conversations over the past year or so due to being on the Greasemonkey mailing list. Anyhow, that's a lot of emails so I figured I'd free up some space. As it stands: I am currently using 215 MB (8%) of my 2695 MB.Delete all 718 email conversations (keeping in mind each conversation contains from 1 to about 20 individual emails) Now: I am currently using 193 MB (7%) of my 2695 MB.Well crap. So after all that, I saved myself 1/100th of my available space. Note to self: don't delete emails anymore. If I don't like looking at it, just remove the label. Also, Sara and I am going to San Francisco this weekend and it is sure to be awesome. "Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its bobsled time!" thought I'd make this one easier since the last 2 didn't go so well.
Last year, you might remember, I posted a funny picture of "Turn any iPod into an iPod Shuffle In 3 Easy Steps" and then wrote about it. Well, a month or so later, a man named Leander Kahney emailed me. He works for Wired Magazine and writes The Cult of Mac Blog. Anyhow, he wanted to use that picture in a book he was writing called The Cult of iPod. I told him he could as long as I was credited and everything, and recently the book was published and I made it in there!  He re-aranged the picture a bit and put it on page 24. I think it's pretty cool, so I thought I'd write about it. Go ahead and glance at it the next time you're in a book store, or just order yourself a copy. It's a neat coffee-table book. (Full disclosure: I get nothing from the sales of said book)
A few weeks ago, there was an article on O'Reiley about how to use Google as a proxy. For those who don't understand that sentence, it means how to view webpages without actually visiting the webpage, in this case, through Google's website. Why would this be useful? Well, if you can figure that one out for yourself. But in case you need Google to translate a page into english and view it on a computer that allows you to use google, just drag this link into your bookmarks: Google Proxy Bookmarklet Then, when your on a page that you want to view, but can't for some reason, just click the bookmark you just added, and google will show you that page. "It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma!"
Sara sent me this email: This is the most confusing article I've ever readI responded: It's quite self explanitory, I don't see what you don't get. The lady's husband-boy ran away after telling his roommate he was leaving, which was sometime after he was removed from his grandmothers custody, who thinks that the lady took the boy away so she could be with the boy for the birth of their boy, pre-supposing that the boy and her are not in child-molestation litigation, while keeping in mind the boy's grandmother thinks her grandson wants to have a boy with the lady, hence all the suspicion about the dissever. Seems quite cut-and-dry to me.She replied: That makes sense, keeping in mind that the husband-boy is the old-wife's teenage son's best friendThankfully, she appreciates my teachings. It just comes naturally to me.
