Well, not ever, but close. I worked so hard all day from the moment I got there at 10:30 till I left 5 minutes ago at 11:30 - a fun 13 hours laters. My brain actually hurts. To make it even more fun I have to be at work at 9:00am to give a presentation I already gave to the same group of people that didn't pay attention the first time. I barely had any time to prepare new material for it because I had lots of other real work to do. I find I have to explain everything like 16 times at work. Even when I use flow charts, graphs, power point presentations, send email, add wiki pages, etc - no one ever goes over it. It is so frustrating.
I also spent a whole bunch more time on IE6 problems again. I hope the programmers of that application die.
The fun sound of my macbook pro santa rosa fan dying. This is really great because I have a ton of work and no way to get to the apple store till friday when I am sure they will be too busy.
Apparently, I am not the only one

PDAnet for iphone tetheringCategory: mobile
Having a jailbroken iphone is great for a lot of reasons. The best of all which is you can tether. All the tethering options until I tried this point sucked. None of them were as good as any of the windows mobile solutions.
This latest one PDAnet is totally awesome. No socks proxy, no messy settings, just ad hoc wifi network and one simple switch for on or off in the application. It even has WEP, and although WEP isn't amazing security, its better than none and seeing as it is just a temp network... its fine. Everything runs lightning fast and you can use your laptop as you normally would if connected in any other way. I can't believe it took this long for something to come along.
Here is a blog with the instructions:
Now if only apple would support this type of solution.

ta-dah!

"A 3rd party tethering option called NetShare briefly appeared in the App Store before it was removed by Apple. AT&T traditionally charges an additional $30/month for this tethering option on their other smartphones. MacRumors has separately heard that this tethering capability is expected to be built into the 2.2 firmware."

do you know why apple ISN'T supporting tethering? Is it b/c ATT won't let them or something like that? I'm a little reluctant to jailbreak, but that sure would be nice...

Time Change DecisionsCategory: work
I woke up an hour early effortlessly thanks to the time change. Could be a good time to change my work schedule by one hour. Then again, I might just hate it after a week. Maybe I will just go in early today and see.

Halloween Party 2008Category: holiday
We started out the day at the Bonton so that (e:hodown) could get pantyhose and some makeup.
We decked out the house with lots of spider webby stuff.
I decided to be the demon farmer. I wanted a costume that was fun, easy, and revealing. I thought this one worked.
By 5am I was pretty much exhausted. This is me trying to make a serious face while posing for (e:hodown). It was the first time I wore contacts in years.
I work up at 9:20am to one messy ass kitchen. (E:flacidness), (e:hodown) and I cleaned till like 11:30. Then we left for the farmer's market. The best part was when TK first woke up he was thirsty and poured a glass of cider to chug. Unfortunately, it was the cider that Robert and James brought which was alcoholic.

I had no idea there was hard cider I would have liked to try that. There was all kinds of food that I didn't eat, I just wasn't hungry for some reason. I hope that all that straw got picked up some how. Thanks for hosting the party!!!!

I asked mike if we could come back and clean up and he said no. I like cleaning up after parties for some reason. Wish I could have seen TK's face when he drank that cider...hehe

I feel like I should have stayed behind and helped clean up. I think that's my plan for next time. Or I should just drop by in the morning and help with the scrubbing and vaccuming. It really feels awful now, that I left without even asking. This is a seriously rude (bordering on vindictive) thing to do back home. I am sorry! :(

Costume TimeCategory: holiday
I had a hard time resisting being (e:lilho)'s boil. I ended up being a farmer again. This time with a devil pitch fork and some mask. (e:hodown) is her girl crush form TV.
tinypliny - 11/01/08 10:38
Haha, very cool. You should have stuck with the mask and stabbed everyone intentionally. ;-)
And (e:hodown) looked like the Joan character so much! Perfect costume.

you can book genius bar appointments online too, and see when the openings are. but yeah they fill up fast and when they're crowded, will NOT squeeze you in.
call today and make an appointment for the apple store. they wont see you on a walk in basis on friday.
TO make it way more fun, my computer is dying loudly. Something went seriousy wrong with my macbook pro. It sounds like a lawn mower right now and I have no way to get to the apple store till friday. I am sure it is going to die. Its so loud I can't even use it for the presentation tomorrow, damn it.
