We headed out to (e:chris)' vacation house on one of the finger lakes.
We went with the chris', (e:james), (e:jim), cowboy mike and cara.

The house is right on the lake.

Originally, we thought we were going to go camping but this was much
more relaxed than camping. Full kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and
sattelite television.

Did some Linux compiling to get a 3g broadband card working on a netbook running ubuntu remix, did some swimming (both daytime and night), a lot of drinking ... Oh and ate 250 clams, steaks, fresh peas and yummy cherries. It was great.

It's nice to have fun friends. Thanks guys. I still can't wait to go real camping.








then at the end we picked up (e:mike) and (e:libertad) from their florida trip.

to be continued...

The Christian protestors at Thursday in the square went totally nuts
this week. They keep bringing their children out. I can't imagine
why anyone would bring a kid with in that scenario.

They were like red faced screaming maniac style and their violent
words were met with serious anti-protest.

At one point they got in a fight with some punk guys and two seconds
later people of every race and ethnic group swarmed in on them. Then
people started throwing full bottles of water at them till the police
broke it up.

It was interesting to see other types of Christians engadging them and
calling them non Christians.

They basically mixed up their most violent whackjob adult males with
the timid children, probably their dads.

The comic book about flight 144 read like Nazi propaganda.

(e:Terry) was sending in our tax money to the city today and affixed a
"get well soon" sticker. I thought it was so funny.

So get this, they charge 2% of the total, which can be huge, to pay
electronically but it's free to send in a check. How can that be more
efficient. I mean I am sure they are charged by the credit card
company for the transaction but 2% is pretty redic - especially on a
high tax bill.

I have more entertaining journal to post later, but as I sit here scanning my home title to send to the mortgage people for closing tomorrow, I couldn't help but notice the threat on apple breakin palm pre compatibility with itunes

I am not surprised at all, what I am surprised about is that people are happy about it because they can't believe anyone would "steal" from apple.

Seriously, Apple did all thge hard work with iTunes, and a company creates a product and think that they can just ride Apple's coat tails ?

C'mon - make your own software, you stupid idiots!

Seriously fucktard. Get a clue, apple borrowed like 98% of everything in os x from unix and open source projects. If anyone is riding on anyone's coattails its apple riding on the open source communities hard work.
