Goodbye Breakfast
Well, finally had some time to enable comments in my ported Drupal theme for WordPress.
Here’s a quote from the awesome lecture I am ignoring to work on my WordPress Theme:
The universe is cyborg because only humans have the means to know it exists.
… Straight from the Professors lips to my blog.
On a depressing note, this morning I woke up and tossed two hashbrowns into the toaster oven, then jumped into the shower. It takes at least 20 minutes to get them to a point where they are eatable. When I got out of the shower, I put some sausage links in the microwave. 45 seconds later, breakfast is done!
But on the delivery to my desk, I dropped it all on the floor =(
Extending GAIM: Bringing back the away message box
This weekend I started some research for another pet project: GAIM 2.0 beta introduced a “new” away message system, one that doesn’t quite agree with my needs. Previous versions mimicked AOL by displaying a small dialog while your away called an Away Message Queue. This dialog showed you how many messages you’ve received while away, and more importantly who they are from.
GAIM 2.0 has lost this feature, instead messages can be immediately displayed (which steals focus, bad for gaming!), or messages can be hidden, and an indicator is added to the Windows system tray icon to “alert you of new messages” (This sucks, not a very good means of alerting you to new messages)
So I sought out the original away message code in GAIM 1.5, and will try to encapsulate it into a plugin for GAIM 2.0.
Google – your pissing me off!
I use Google Browser Sync for Firefox to keep Firefox on my Desktop (Windows XP Pro) and my laptop (OSX) in sync – lately GSync has been duplicating my bookmarks, or outright losing everything. Google, I don’t want to switch to another service. Yours has worked great in the past, whats going on?
Congratulations to Jason for his new job at the Center for Campus Life as a Rockstar Web Developer. His first project will be an AOL AIM bot, and getting me coffee on a regular basis.
