Wifi lunch update

I was going to Cafe Aroma on Elmwood for a wifi getaway, but today I hit Safari Grill across the street and they pick up the same signal! I prolly shouldn't be posting this because someone will read this who works there, but hey Safari Grill has lots of outlets, plenty of seats and so far pretty good food.

Email clients

I installed Thunderbird on my new mac 6 months ago and haven't transitioned to mail yet. I like how Tbird separates all my accounts. Maybe mail can do this, but I don't have time to figure it out.

One thing I hate about tbird is the way it doesn't soft-wrap replies; i.e., if I reply to someone's email the quoted email scrolls sideways.

wireless woes

I just went to Spot on Elmwood for lunch and a surefire wireless signal; I mean, they ARE the biggest cafe in Buffalo, right?

Like an idiot I ordered lunch before asking the worker. His answer was "you can go up by the windows and try to piggyback on someone else's signal". Yeah... bad Karma but they were all locked up anyway.

There should be a list of local eateries/hotspot status somewhere...if not, anyone wanna help me build one?

What color is the past?

I have to design a computer icon for "Undo". I'm making an arrow facing left, since in western culture (if that even exists any more), we think of things that face that way as looking backward. But what color? Red is no good; it just means stop; or alert, or something. Blue is mysterious but it doesn't signify time in any way. Green is good because it means go forward, and technically, red is the opposite of green, but as said above red is no good.
Arggh! Yellow?

itunes madness

Remind me to never buy another song off itunes. I have an endless loop of "you must authorize this computer to play this song" and "you have auhorized on more than 5 computers".

I bought the fucking song, let me listen to it whenever and however I want.

working on a table (html that is) site

So I'm updating a site that was built entirely in tables a long time ago in my web design career and as much as I embrace css layout, it was nice to type in valign=top and see my content snap up to the top. Shoot me.

Need some cool mac apps and Sunday Sk8 s

If anyone can suggest cool freeware apps for my new macbook pro, please suggest. On another note, I stopped by the Sunday Skateshop on Saturday. It was nice to see a unique shop bustling w/business. JP the owner was there, busting his butt putting grip-tape on the boards and having a great time...I wonder what the owner of Zumies or Phatman were doing...

I hate QWERTY

Y'all know that QWERTY is a way to slow down typists so they don't jam typewriters, and DVORAK is an optimized keyboard layout that makes you type, like, 1000 times faster if you just take the time to learn it, which no one does, because we type on like 20 keyboards a day, half of which are on machines we don't own, so we can't change them to DVORAK, so we would become insanely schizophrenic having to switch mental modes over and over, and I think this is symptomatic of every problem that plagues humankind to this day.
