Using Gmail for mailto: links
Blame it on Seb, but I’ve been using Gmail’s web interface lately. This is partly because I’m in the middle of another life-changing job transition (but this one I’m really excited about, aside from the great white sharks and the triangle of death), partly because I like change (and after having used nothing but kmail for a few years now, I’m ready for a change if for nothing other than to see how we in KDE PIM land can do things better), and partly because I’m trying to keep less personal data on my work laptop. I have been using Google’s Apps For Your Domain for the last year or so, and I like it much good. However, one thing that Gmail lacks is any IMAP interface whatsoever, which means that I’ve had a really convoluted setup going on which uses GAFYD for my MX handling, and then involves a subdomain on my regular web host server which I forward all e-mail to and subsequently access via IMAP. Ick.
Great White Sharks And You
My darling daughter was quick to fill me in on a bit of news garnered by some educational television programming the other day: I’m apparently relocating my little brood to The Red Triangle. Oh good. And here I was, just saying to myself: “Boy, Self, this is REALLY cool! You finally get a chance to move back to California beaches again and can enjoy some good surf!” Hm. It’s always nice to find out you’re moving to a triangle of death.

On The Way Back From SOC Summit
So, here I sit in SFO, fighting the urge to pay $6 for an hour of WIFI. Note to self: figure out how to use Treo 650 in Linux with Sprint as a PPP connection! Oh yeah, also buy a bluetooth usb dongle like Seb’s.
Sun’s Search Inside the Music
Man, I’m a geek! I just couldn’t bring myself to go to sleep tonight at 10:00, like a good (smart) boy, and instead of hacking on KPilot or doing something else productive, I watched an extremely cool web presentation from Sun’s JavaOne Technical Sessions. That’s right… I chose to watch a Sun web presentation instead of TV or a movie. That makes me… a geek, yep… just checking….

Today
It was a really interesting week, this last, punctuated by some things that I can not yet talk about yet and also by some things that I can and should.

An Interview with Scott Stapp
I know, I’m 3 years late, but I just now found this interesting interview with Creed’s lead singer. One snippet that caught my eye was this:
