zoar valley

Had a fun day at zoar valley with (e:terry). I kind of felt bad not finishing the dormer but sometimes I need to do something besides work or housework. At the bottom of this journal, there is a picture of me in a creek where you can see my butt, just stop scrolling now if it will be an issue.

The dormer leering at me.

(e:terry) swinging like tarzan
Imagine how much better it would be if I had recorded it in the right direction.

Its not to late to turn back. I'm looking a lot buffer than the pics from a couple years ago.

Windows viruses

Somehow I was redirected to microsoft.msn.com.medate.info in the search results for Peter Paige on google. I was looking him up after seeing him on the flyer for illusions opening tonight (e:libertad,51634)

Obviously this is all fake as I am on a linux machine but I can see how an inexperienced computer user would freak out and think this is real. It looked totally convincing and was completely animated. Once you install it with .exe I am sure you are totally screwed.

When you try and exit, it even makes you feel bad.

Wifi tethering froyo update

As if the file upload in the browser and flash was not enough (e:paul,51709) , froyo also provides wifi and USB tethering with one easy press. This is one of the reasons I wanted the google phone from google and not from a carrier. I wonder how the carriers will react to this when rolling out froyo to their own phones.

Go Google, file upload in my browser!

I never realized how much I was missing with the mobile web until today when I got my froyo update on my phone thanks to (e:chris) sending me these instructions

. For those of you who do not know, froyo is the latest android OS for google phones. People with stock phones can just wait for the over the air update top arrive if you are scared of messing with your phone. They already started sending them out.

It does the one thing I have wanted for a mobile browser since I left my old windows mobile phone. Enable file browse/upload in the web browser by default. This is a total change to the apple disabled browser upload which forces people to make apps, which then have to be approved bullshit.

I guess other people were not as alarmed as me but it stuck at the heart of the internet, as far as I was concerned, to limit browsing activity to download only. It also took the open out of open web and was ultimately what made me leave apple for fedora linux (desktop) and android on the phone.

Here is what it looks like.

The lame old usersounds player works

Vut best of all the progress style flash uploader works, which means that you get the full desktop version of estrip on the go using Froyo.

Notice the upload button

And best of all, strawberry shortcake.com

the most expensive fake beer

Who would have thought you could even buy a fake beer. I always thought that stuff was display only. If you need one they have them at FWS on elmwood.
