Keith’s Complete Waste of Time

This is cool. Scary, but cool.

and I should blame Leopard, which Apple recently announced the ship date for and so which I guess I can now say has been consuming most of my time for much of the summer. Leopard ships on 10/26, so it’s pretty clear that we’re done with it by now and busily making DVDs and [...]

I work on Mac OS X, and long ago it was announced that Mac OS X 10.5, codename Leopard, would be shipping in October, so it’s no secret that the process of wrapping up the release has been going on for a while. It’s an interesting time for an engineer, at least for me [...]

For the last, well, while, Leopard has been kicking me to the ground quite regularly. Steve promised it would ship in October, and that means that the closer we get to October the more frantic everyone is to get every lastissue either addressed or punted.

Every time I think I’ve got my bugs under control [...]

OK. So, for the last day or so, it seems I can’t turn on CNN without seeing the “human interest” story about the cat that goes and sits on the beds of patients in a nursing home who are very near death.

Then, they go on and on about how accurate the cat is — [...]

Original story here, but there’s not much more than you see above.

I applied to be a planning commissioner last year, but wasn’t selected. When an opening came up again this June, I threw my name into the ring again, and this time they picked me. Yea!

Here’s a spam I received today. It ended up in my spam folder, so it’s not like it really impacted me, but I was checking to make sure that an email I was expecting hadn’t gotten trapped, and in the process came across this one.

On the surface, it seems like an email from some [...]

When I was young, due to allergies, I couldn’t have a dog or cat. I don’t think we would have gotten a cat anyway, since I suspect my parents viewed cats more as pests than as pets, but we might have had a dog if I hadn’t been fairly allergic to them.

So, we had [...]

We aren’t going to hear anyone referring to Cho Seung-Hui, the Virginia Tech gunman, as a Christian terrorist.

Sure, he most likely is one – in the “manifesto” he sent to NBC he almost compares his suffering to Christ’s on the cross – so I’m pretty sure he thought himself quite religious. He apparently railed [...]

I found this the other day, somewhere on the web and it’s eerily captivating*. There are certainly days that I feel like a code monkey; especially the first verse.

If you like it, go to the link here and give the guy a buck.

And, I swear, every day it seems I’m getting dumber. I [...]
