Birthday number 37 is nearly over for me. It's been a hell of a year and much better than last year. Mother Nature gifted me (and most of northern NE) with a historic ice storm that knocked out power to my home. I was kept awake last night by the insanely frequent sounds of branches failing under the weight of 1" of ice. Doesn't sound like much, but it was enough to snap mighty limbs of the mature oaks in my yard.

I'm a lucky guy. I've got a great wife, a wonderful home and even a job that pays me. What more could I ask for (*cough* Amazon gift certificates *cough*)?

'Nuff said.

Picture of me at the Javaroom in Chelmsford taken with my Macbook's Photobooth app. Compare to the one I took here with my XO.

UPDATE: The Chelmsford Public Library is #^(%ing great. It's clean, brightly lit, full of electrical outlets and WIFI! Of course, PPTP, FTP, SMTP and some other ports are blocked, but not SSH. W00t!

Visited Lowell General Hospital today for the first time, in which a doctor looking very much like Alton Brown informed me that my eye was swollen from non-viral conjunctivitis. I get to put jelly in my eye for three days.

So, I have that going for me.

Sally and I are moving into the burbs. I couldn't be happier.

Leostream is moving offices too. Also good.

However, both moves have been scheduled for the same day.

I'm a sad panda.

Well, here I am at the Javaroom in Chelmsford with my XO. It's a cool, if underpowered little device. It continues to draw more attention than even those fancy mac Air notebooks. I think its the lime green rabbit ears. Or maybe it's my own rabbit ears.

The file upload HTML widget works weirdly on the Browse Activity. Recall that the XO attempts to hide the filesystem from the user and instead has a "journal" that remembers everything you did. So the file upload, instead of presenting a file chooser dialog, presents this weird version of the journal.

Must get firefox on this bad boy someday...

Still, I can blog from my XO.
