dead cities, red seas & lost ghosts
dear Internet: little of note has happened since i last checked in with you. tonight i finished a really long book and forgot to go see a rock show. also i had a brownie sundae at Fentons. yum.
the last several weeks have really flown by. i had forgotten how drastically my life changes when i have a fulfilling job. i work very intense 50 hr weeks and am too beat in the evenings to party like i do when i'm unemployed. i barely have the energy even to go out to movies anymore. and with my personal trainer destroying me every Wed and Fri afternoon (chick had me do 80 squat reps in 3 mins yesterday), i am often too sore to do anything other than lay around and read or watch Tivo. i've even lost all motivation to work on Warhorn. i know from experience that sooner or later i will adjust and become productive again, but for right now i'm a big blob just taking up space. i'm pretty ok with that.
oh, one interesting thing: as i mentioned recently, every time i am in a room with Mitch Kapor he is talking about del.icio.us and Flickr. so this week i finally got around to checking them out. Flickr is cute and all, but i don't really do the photo thing, so i only spent a few minutes with it. del.icio.us on the other hand is pretty awesome, and i found a great use for it right off the bat. i regularly read around a hundred RSS feeds on three different computers. with sync features still to come in NetNewsWire, it's hard to switch between those machines and remember which URLs i want to save to read in detail later. each machine usually has a bunch of different links saved on the desktop. but now i use Foxylicious to post them to del.icio.us and tag them with "unread". i always have a tab open to my unread tag page, so i can quickly select something to read while i'm waiting for code to compile. nice! tho since my dual 1.8ghz G5 showed up, code compiles pretty much at the speed of light, so now i have to explicitly set aside time to read, heh.
