Blog Master G

I’m diggin’ the new design for my Blog. I also forgot to mention in yesterday’s entry that with my switch to DreamHost I figured it was also time for a change to the design of this page. And now I’m wondering if this may be the template I use for the rest of my site. […]

We had quite the weekend. Bobby and Shannon threw a really great engagement party for me and Jen on Saturday. About 30-40 people showed up. It was quite heartwarming to see so many good friends and family come together. Here’s the thank you email that we just sent out to everyone (with link to photos […]

Success! This morning I finally got my first Unix script to run successfully. It’s a great little script called mb2md that converts standard Unix mbox files (the mail format for IMAP email) to the improved Maildir format (supported by my new Web hosting provider DreamHost). Here’s a post I added to DreamHost’s KBase about running […]

Today has been a good day. I spoke with our nice leasing agent Kelly (of Larkspur Shores) earlier today. After watching (on craigslist) the price of a comparable place to the one Jen and I are getting Aug. 14 (2-bedroom/2-bath townhouse) drop to less than 200 bucks below what we were slated to pay, I […]

Last night Jen and I saw the independent film Cherish, starring the very talented, wry, funny Robin Tunney as Zoe Adler, who is accused of killing a bike cop while driving drunk (though it’s a bit more complicated than that). She is subsequently put on house arrest and the remainder of the movie — filmed […]

This article in Wired is pretty cool. It’s also kind of scary to think about what a Brave New World we’re beginning to create. Is this the beginning of the Six-Million-Dollar Man with corporate backing? In this case, Nike has created a house in sea-level Portland, Oregon to simulate an elevation of 12,000 feet. Why? […]

This morning I awoke bright and early at 5:30am for a 6am conference call with a customer with offices in Germany and the UK. Of course, there are inevitably network and technology problems whenever something important like that is scheduled to occur. I wasn’t the one who was leading the meeting, but still, it doesn’t […]

An article on the front page of today’s Chronicle outlines the latest — and most realistic — of the myriad development plans for the future of Treasure Island that have been set forth over the past several years that Jen and I have lived there. The latest plan, proposed by a seemingly well-off developer who […]
