Shooting some 9-ball at the Loft
by brian @ 17:45:10 - [perma-link]
I'm up in San Fran, waiting for the furniture installers, who don't seem
to be making it today. The window was 2-4, and its already after 5. Good
thing I don't have anything better to do...
So Chris came over, we ordered pizza, and we're playing pool.
Guess I was wrong. They're here now, and only an hour and a half late.
Good thing traffic sucks here, or I would have left at 5.

Decompression
by brian @ 18:09:23 - [perma-link]
It's a burningman thing. Hippies everywhere.
Just kidding.
But kinda.

Burningman transplant
by brian @ 18:58:20 - [perma-link]
I'm not sure which camp this was, but it's getting dark, and I wanted a
pic.
Decompression is actually pretty cool. Its kind of like the party-side
of burningman without the desert. And I got in for free.

Good band
by brian @ 19:29:46 - [perma-link]
I can't quite place it. Drums, funky string instrument and a sax. And a
mouth-harp.
I like it.

This guy is cool. He does covers, but not like any covers i'v ever
heard. Only the lyrics give them away, but even then I'm not entirely
sure.
He's playing a banjo. He way yodlling through it, but now it's being
used in the more traditional manner.
And I like his use of cutout. And that's only one song.

Correction...
by brian @ 21:22:20 - [perma-link]
These are NOT covers.
But this guy kicks ass. Serioudly.
And he has the black rock desert cow warning sign cow on his Strat.
Yeah, so that's pretty cool.

I can Telnet from my Sidekick
by brian @ 16:35:39 - [perma-link]
I saw someone on www.dangerinfo.com who had made a Trillian plugin so
he can get into IRC over AIM with Trillian bridging the two. But I'm
on MacOSX, so that's useless to me. But the perl Net::AIM package
isn't useless to me!
I hacked up an IRC proxy, and could IRC over AIM from my sidekick. But
I don't use IRC, so its not particularly useful.
So today I wrote another one. Its a Telnet bot. I tell it "telnet
server port" and it makes a connection to the remote server and does
line-based proxying via AIM. So now I can Telnet. But there's not
much to do with telnet. I could MUD, but I don't. So now I have two
swell bots that are totally useless to me.

Out in Palo Alto
by brian @ 20:41:48 - [perma-link]
We're out drinking at the Empire Tap Room. NOLA's was packed, as usual,
so screw that. But we'll end up meeting some people there.
Gotta "stop being a geek". Bye.

Cherry Popper
by brian @ 21:02:29 - [perma-link]
Just did a shot. Not quite sure what was in there. Kinda lemony with a
cherry at the bottom. I'll consult bartender.com when I get home... Or
wake up...

We're back!
by brian @ 13:01:28 - [perma-link]
Actually, we gor back last night. Missing a flight sucks, but our flight
was pretty uneventful. I has a copy of Wired (nothing spectacular) and
"Four Wheeler" (ok, so I had one too many at the bar) to read on the
plane.
Four Wheeler was kind of a disappointment. Its very Jeep-centric. I
have a Land Rover Defender 90, so there was very little relevant info
for me. I need to get a new front bumper, as mine is tweaked from a
bounce on Cadillac Hill, but none of the vendors in the mag mentioned
Rover parts. Bummer.
Anyway, we're back.
