GMail style extension

This is a cool GMail style using the Firefox extension 'Styles'. Really I'm posting this so that I can load it at home and show my wife.

Lost the beard

So, I was freestyling with my beard trimmer, and accidentally removed a 1" by 2" (2.5cm x 5cm) section right in the middle of my left cheek. Oops! And sadly it was rather noticable. So, I went ahead and removed the remainder of the beard. Picture online. So, I'm now shaving for the next couple of weeks while I decide if I want to regrow it now or wait until autumn. And the really funny thing is that the userpic I'm using I had cropped and uploaded that morning. It's one of my better pictures with a beard (my beard doesn't like to fully grow, as you can see I really can't grow a goatee as the mustache doesn't really connect well with the lower beard).

iPhone so easy

The iPhone is so easy, my 2 year old figured out how to unlock it!

IPv6

I love playing with IPv6. If you don't know what that is, skip this entry. :) I got a free tunnel (two, actually, one for at work and playing with vpns and cross-site stuff) from Freenet6/Hexago. I set it up at home and work so that each IPv6 endpoint can route, so my wife's laptop (MacOSX with IPv6 pre-enabled) can ping my Mac at work, using my work laptop and a test server at work being the IPv6 routers. Mind, no real firewall is setup at this point - I need to get that setup. But still, is very very cool - I can now play with a real network and get familiar enough so that when IPv6 gets used for production I'll already know what I'm doing. Not to mention that now I can access my computers at work directly and not need to setup silly NAT forwarding.

To get into OpenFirmware when Cmd-Opt-O-F isn't working (like, say, you're using a USB PC keyboard): Open Terminal Type sudo nvram auto-boot?=false and give it your user password. Reboot. OpenFirmware will not auto-boot into OSX. To undo, do the same but put true instead of false.

Almost Normal

Almost Normal as a movie is rather good. The basic premise: a gay guy goes back in time to his high school days, but in a twist the orientations are reversed: being gay/lesbian is "normal" and being straight is wrong. The writer really thought things out - straights are called "breeders" (a derogatory term in that world), to have kids you have "parental partners", but it's not a long-term relationship. And in gym class you have "shower buddies". All in all I rather liked the movie (watched it on Netflix' instant viewing thingy). A quote I love from the movie:

If G-d had wanted a man and a woman be together, He would have made women like football!
