Mint Linux Test
Category: estrip
Drag drop worked for me in Mint linux Firefox 3.6.3. Seems like Mint uses KDE.

Middle Earth has some awful names.

(e:paul) - I figured out what the problem was (more or less user error) in Linux Mint see :::link::: and the PCLinuxos box is just too old and patched.

Thanks for all your efforts about this.

My New Workspace

The rotten and noisy dell keyboards we have on lesser privileged buildings in the campus are reason enough to hold on to that one.
paul - 09/15/10 09:10
It seems rediculous to replace a fully functional keyboard because of brand identity.
jason - 09/15/10 08:27
Dang, Tiny! Getting all technical on him!
tinypliny - 09/15/10 03:43
What's the brand of the keyboard?

Seabar Lunch

The lunches at seabar downtown Buffalo keep getting better. There lunch menu expanded like the dinner menu did. (e:samathon86) and I ended up on the new clubby looking side this time. The ambiance was pretty chic for lunch.

man, I always get a tummy ache when I try miso soup. That and the smoky flavour always seemed a little fishy to me. Turns out that is true. Oh well. Good bye miso soup.
jbeatty - 09/15/10 08:13
The smokey flavor is from the bonito. Which is not vegetarian tiny!!! I went there for lunch on Friday. It was such a great meal. It almost made me miss working there.
tinypliny - 09/15/10 03:42
I wanted to like Miso soup but I am put off by that smoky flavour it always seem to have.

heidi - 09/14/10 00:32
Did anyone cross the street to avoid you?
tinypliny - 09/13/10 17:16
Not really. They don't have the sexy ooze that you obviously do.

The Mormon missionary look is tres chic this season.
jim - 09/13/10 13:00

jbeatty - 09/13/10 12:21

janelle - 09/13/10 11:45

Little Rock City

We went back to little rock city. This time we got totally crazy and were jumping between rocks with 20ft+ drops. At one point we were able to jump between 3 rocks. I wish (e:jacob) could have been there. He would have loved it.
