We rented a Prius at CLT for Sara’s wedding from National Car Rental. We showed up, the dude said “pick any car”, just like in the commercial. Took us 15 minutes and reading the manual to figure out that you have to press the brake BEFORE pressing the Power button. Or else you get an [...]

Back in the dark ages, circa 1985 or so, I worked for Richard Spielman Precision Electronics, on the north side of Chicago. The owner, Richard Spielman, was a great guy, an atheist, an entrepreneur, and a foodie before his time, as trips to restaurants were part of our all-night construction binges. (He has also disappeared [...] So Steve talked me into an upgrade. I needed to install Windows 7 anyway, and so here was the chance. Bette was gone for the weekend and I had a nice block of time. I ordered a used Gigabyte mobo with processor from eBay. Hmm. So I opened up the box, and found that the [...] The Qt WebKit stuff looks really nice. 40 lines to add a lite but featured browser, and you can have Javascript call C++ and vice versa – so buttons in HTML can start C++ processes, and C++ can modify the DOM directly ala Ajax. Social embedded should be a piece of cake. He showed an [...] Our 2009 CR-V with AWD has gotten 31 mpg on the trip to work, but much less on the way home. I suspect the trip to work is downhill. There are two Trip displays, A and B, with independent average mpg displays. Trip A is the one I reset to check short trips. Trip B [...] At work, I would get calls: Voice Message 8884274836 At home, three times a night. Never leaving a messsage. I Googled the phone number finally and found who: Lifesource blood services. I logged in (easy) and turned off all my notifications. We’ll see if it works. So I wanted to buy the sheet music for “Lust” by Tori Amos. I love the piano music and wanted to learn it – to play, not to sing. I started with Google, found several music sites, and prepared to pay. Seems to be about $4.50. Ok, I can deal with that. Started with I [...] So I started the teapot up today, and went downstairs to check one thing. Ten minutes later I came up and there was no whistle. After checking the teapot, there was no water. With our old crappy teapot, I wouldn’t care. Let it cool down, whatever. Of course this teapot is a 19/10 stainless teapot [...] Our latest addition to the Chwalisz family of bloggers: Our Other Sara(h) blogs about life, love and adventure on the Continent. Finally dumping my D-Link DSB-H4 USB powered hub. I think I got it for 10 bucks, and I think it worked for about 20 minutes. Then as soon as you plug something in, all the lights would go black and I would fear for my motherboard. I just marked it with “US” and tossed it [...] |
