I’ve run into this before–my school’s web space is only accessible via FTP with TLS/SSL, and the problem is that I don’t know of (and I can’t find) a Linux client that lets me do that. I wasted about 5 minutes trying to find something I could apt-get, but ended up downloading FileZilla and running it in Wine (I also tried three versions of CuteFTP, all of which failed to run properly).
Update 12/11/2006: See if this works.

The last time I tried to use Google Calendar, I couldn’t successfully import my Apple iCal calendars; all the events would end up time shifted 8 hours. I finally found some time to try again this afternoon, and the import works flawlessly. Goodbye Apple iCal!
Now that I have all my calendars imported (also did some cleaning–I have just six calendars now), I’m thoroughly impressed. I’m always in month or week view, and both are on par with Apple iCal in terms of look and usability. I’d almost miss iCal’s todo list, were it not the fact that I label all emails from myself starting with “todo:” in GMail.
On the other hand, I have one more reason to regret buying a Mac. It’s really just turned into an iTunes jukebox and a recharger for my iPod.

This article titled Simple ways to make yourself far cleverer is making the rounds, and claims you can be 40% cleverer with some simple daily excercises. It mentions a 50-page “THE GET SMARTER GUIDE” that I’ll track down another day.

I’ve been meaning to share The Great Taco Hunt blog for a couple of days. You’ll start salavating like crazy from just looking at the pictures. My goal is to try at least three of these places out this month. Likely candidates are Tacos Por Favor and Don Felix Meat Market.

I accepted admission into the MS/PhD program in EECS at Berkeley this morning. That’s my biggest commitment, ever.
