I'm still eating them one week later.

When I saw these, I immediately thought about @lilho.

I went back on Saturday, this time with @YesThatCasey. We got the ultimate Viking feast which included all the sea favorites from last time plus ribs and chicken. To be honest I was starving but the addition of ribs and chicken was overkill.

Last night I took the leftovers and made a fish soup. Tomatoes, wine, oregano, olive oil, snow peas, parsley, garlic, shallots.

We just had normal size lobsters but they were offering a $99 5 lb lobster. The couple near us got it. It was enormous. I looked online and it appears the largest ever caught was around 40 lbs. That seems terrifying.

We ran out of space and had to throw @terry in the truck bed.

I was reading an article on windows 8 which got released today and in he screen capture for the new Bing news it has the headline Romney Wins Texas. That make me want windows 8 even less.

In the last three years of work I have taken on exponentially more responsibility and put in so much time but it seems like my career is stuck in a rut because of the structure of my department. I'm not sure what the answer is but I sure see there is a ton more money to be made because I see people around me making it. Today while sitting inside working into the 50th hour of my four day work week, I started to wonder what the whole point of working hard in a union environment is?

Maybe I shouldn't be so fließig, if only I wasn't so hopelessly addicted to problem solving and didn't actually love the work I do.

Unrelated iTunes U seems pretty cool on the ipad. I'm trying to sit through a statistics course right now.

Unrelated ios6 finally let's you upload media in the freakin browser like very mobile device I had since 2003. Even my old Nokia candy bar phone could do it. now the ipad can too.

We hit up cedar point today. Its a long freaking ride from home. I am still in line for a haunted house which just had a fore alaram that caused an evacuation of the facility. At this rate I have no idea how we will make it back in time. Ironically I have a bizillion hours I can take off of work but I have a massive project test Thurs morning which requires a significant amount more testing and deployment work. argh

I am obsessed with all the different kinds of squash now. This is the butternut squash. I used to just eat acorn squash but then I started branching out. today at the farmers market I got one called delicata. Last year I tried and like blue Hubbard. They were also pretty amazing but they are too big for me to consume alone.

Since I installed monodevelop for a work project I was working on a few months back I have been stuck with this situation in which all text documents would start monodevelop as the default app when I clicked on them.

Each time it would happen, I figured I should look into how I set the default app for the various mime types and then I would put it off. Today I had a spare 5 minutes so I just grepped for monodevelop in my home directory figuring the settings had to be there as they weren't for every other user account. Turns out the settings are in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

Each mime type is mapped to a .desktop file that describes what to do when the file is opened.

I switched text/plain=monodevelop.desktop to text/plain=gedit.desktop and I was good to go.
