Testing Out Gnome Blog
Testing posting via Gnome Blog Poster (via). An easy click and go install for Ubuntu. Makes blog posts about as fast as twitter. Maybe it’ll encourage me to post more. Probably not.

What the h*ll am I doing?
On one of my favorite TV shows, Mythbusters, they have what are known as Mythbuster’s Moments. Every once in a while, Adam stops and reflects on what he’s doing, like blowing something up or putting himself on the line in some crazy experiment, and realizes just how crazy things have gotten. Not nearly as exciting,…

Yeah, I’m a Mac Fanboy
Made that realization as I was driving down to Carousel to wait an hour in line to buy a copy of the new Mac OSX, dubbed Leopard. I never thought I’d do something like that. I was just gonna blow off the big kick off at 6, but I had a friend who was going…

WordPress 2.3 Update
Yeah, figured it was finally time to update to the latest wordpress. After enjoying all the enhancements on the wordpress blogs we use at work, I thought they might encourage me to work on my blog some more. The update wasn’t quite as scary as I thought it would be. Its basically the same as…

Running Funk?
Not sure what the deal is but lately, my running hasn’t been going so well, specifically the long runs. It feels like all my get up and go has just plain got up and went. Ever since the marathon, it feels like my legs just haven’t been the same. I slow brought the daily runs…

Starbucks Bad
Actually, other than their prices, they’re really quite nice. A fancy new standalone shop just opened down the street from me (on route 11, next to the Rite Aid, formerly Eckerd, formerly Sweetheart Market…) Good thing we’re moving to the other side of town in the near future. Yesterday, I went in for the first…

3rd Party Blog Management
I like WordPress’ management interface, really I do. Well, except for one minor annoyance that’s not really WordPress’ fault. After typing on a plain old PC keyboard for years and years, I’m addicted to the home and end keys to jump to the start or end of the current line. Unfortunately, on Mac, the home…

First Run Post Marathon
This morning, I figured that I had enough of a break and headed out for a daily run. I was torn between 1 or 2 laps on my 22 minute circuit. The first lap went pretty good, so I hung on for number 2. Toward the middle of that lap, my right knee started to…

Marathon Splits
I finally got a little time to sit down and get my split info from the marathon off my watch. As mentioned in the previous post, I missed a few of the mile markers. When this happened I averaged the time across the miles (marked with asterisks below); good enough for my purposes. Mile 1:…
