A Long Day

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Video: “Discover Ubuntu” (Ubuntu Commercial). Nicely done. 6:42am

Good morning! I dropped the girls off at their schools. True to form, Abby walked in at the last possible minute. I listened to Security Now #344 on my commute down to Boxborough. I'm enjoying a Bagel Friday bagel while my laptop and tower both reboot for an installation of a bunch of urgent Microsoft security updates. 9:18am

Analyst: Graphics war heating up in mobile You don't say? This just in: unemployment is high. In other news we have scans on the inside of the Apple A5X chip. The amount of the die allocated to graphics is huge. It's like a dedicated GPU chip with an apps processor on the side. Nintendo and Sony really had better watch out! 9:34am

What?! Increased resolution doesn't come for free?! (see the discussion) Duh! “Whaa! My new iPad's pictures load slower…” 10:11am

Via @Fector: “Since Obama cites Ferdinand and Isabella as prime examples of government subsidy, should he also emulate their anti-Muslim wars??” (paraphrased) 10:19am

Video: Snarkiest new iPad review. Warning:strong language. 10:40am

Best Free And Amazingly Functional Android Live Wallpapers. I had played with a few of the Live Wallpapers that came with my phone, but there are some really cool ones out there. Want to revisit this soon. 11:44am

Decided to get a six month subscription to National Catholic Register. So many of my favorite writers are there and they were bought by EWTN early last year. 12:58pm

Over lunch got to talk with a peer who has done a lot with DD-WRT (which I was checking out last night). It made me all the more eager to tinker with it. 1:00pm

Finished up, wrote my weekly status, logged my hours, and left work around quarter to seven. Listened to a podcast on the rainy drive home. Eager to not think about rendering for a couple of days. Claire has another Subway evening shift. 7:48pm

Encouraging news about possibly seeing a good Ice Cream Sandwich port for my phone. (related link) 9:02pm

Got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. I'm tired but just waiting for Claire to call. 9:15pm

Does MP3 compression make the Loudness Wars worse? Also discussed on Slashdot. 9:41pm

Picked up Claire a little before ten. Dead tired. Good night all! Michelle is teaching tomorrow's Step class so you know that I need my rest! Her classes are killers! 10:15pm

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.”
Mark 12
