cure for painCategory: music
somebody'd mentioned being a Morphine fan, so here you go: 'Bo's Veranda,' from the Get Shorty soundtrack.
I'm going to try to keep my journal music instrumental, since I often find vocals distracting, and I think pop instrumentals are an underrated niche.

wheelsCategory: roller skating
Last summer (e:dragonlady7) and I went to Dick's so she could pick up some work shoes. She spent an hour hemming and hawing over different kinds of sneakers. I immediately found a pair of low-top roller skates 
on clearance and spent the hour whizzing around the store. I did not purchase them, but I was close.
This evening we saw some kid at Anderson's with a pair of Heelys , which I had never seen before. The thing you've got to love about kids is they're always testing out innovative ways to break their necks.
I should just impulse-purchase both of them. For $100 I'd never have to walk again.

The Heeleys only go up to size 9, that's why I asked. By the way did you get mey email about setting up reverse dns. It is pretty critcial because aol and a couple others are rejecting our emailw without out. According to the dns lookup I did, artvoice doesnt have reverse dns either. I think our upstream host whoever that is, needs to configure it on thier end.

buffalo's geekiest restaurant guideCategory: food
For those of you without an iPod: if you have an Internet-enabled cell phone, our restaurant guide is in pre-beta and available by typing the usual link into your phone's web browser.
If the logo at the top of the screen is black-and-white on a solid orange background [XHTML-Mobile], you're good to go.
If the logo is black-and-white on a white background [WML], your phone is oldish and I haven't gotten to that part of the site yet.
And if the logo is black-and-white on a flowery orange background [XHTML], your cell phone would like to think it's a desktop.
In particular, if you have a super beefy mobile device [PocketPC, palmtop, &c.] I'd like to know which site you get [mobile/desktop] and which site you'd prefer to get.

Yet another geeky post, but there's a cool technology preview at the end. Feel free to skip the geeky part.

I am considering how to do a distributed GUI for backend database management at work, and I remembered I had done a presentation on Mozilla XUL when I was at school. XUL [XML User-interface Language] is used to describe the entirety of the Firefox user interface, and a very neat feature of Firefox is that if you browse to a XUL file on the Internet, it will render the XUL UI and let you interact with it.
</geeky>
I came up with a proof-of-concept demo for an iPhoto-like online photo album based on XUL. If you are using Mozilla/Firefox [it will not work in any other browser, I promise you] visit xPhoto to see some pictures of my aunt's cottage on the lake and (e:dragonlady7) 's sister's springer spaniel Scout.
Now I'm going to see if I can score some points by cleaning the house before (e:dragonlady7) gets home.

Re: pop instrumentals. I couldn't agree more. Thanks for the Morphine drip! In return, I'm posting an instrumental version of Tears for Fears "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." I don't know if there's an audience for this one here, but I find it addictive. Maybe it's the syncopation. Anyway, you may have heard it as the intro on the Dennis Miller show. My friend Steve digitized this from vinyl, so it's somewhat rare in this format. Gather ye iTunes while ye may...
