This vi reference mug is just too awesome. What better place to put that vi command you can never remember than the coffee mug that’s on top of the pile of papers on your desk. If my vi skills were set back a couple months, I’d pick one up in a flash.
Speaking of cool things, it seems my powerball is horribly outdated. The new powerballs tell how fast they’re spinning and glow neon blue. Mmmm blue.
Ever since I moved from Outclass and POPFile with Outlook, I’ve missed the notion of automatic filtering into buckets. I’ll have to admit that the spam filtering in both Thunderbird and Mail.app is decent, but it’s hard to keep a lean inbox when I have to spend so much time just sorting mail. I wonder how much begging it’ll take to have buckets implemented in either of those mail clients.
I finally got my summer plans set, after overpaying $300 for my plane ticket, and a nameless company running out of projects for interns to work on (and hence my not getting hired). I’ll be bouncing around Western Europe (London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris) for a month, and then I’ll be working at Google in Santa Monica (and that means I can stay in my apartment)!
I’ll be sending postcards from Europe June 20 - July 17, and I’ll be working July 18 - September 28.
Here’s an interesting view on things:
From Wikipedia article on David Attenborough
“My response is that when Creationists talk about God creating every individual species as a separate act, they always instance hummingbirds, or orchids, sunflowers and beautiful things. But I tend to think instead of a parasitic worm that is boring through the eye of a boy sitting on the bank of a river in West Africa, [a worm] that’s going to make him blind. And [I ask them], ‘Are you telling me that the God you believe in, who you also say is an all-merciful God, who cares for each one of us individually, are you saying that God created this worm that can live in no other way than in an innocent child’s eyeball? Because that doesn’t seem to me to coincide with a God who’s full of mercy’.”
