Ha!
10 years. It's been damn near 10 years since I posted anything here. I wonder if anyone I know even looks at this site anymore?
The UI is clean. That's nice.
The previous post is so out of date it's fairly laughable. I wonder what this post will look like to 2030 me?
Honestly, I'd be shocked if LJ still exists in 2030.

The State of Al
My lapses in writing here are getting to be damn near monumental. I'll do a brief recap here in case you don't know anything about my life at the moment. Given my infrequency here, that's not entirely out of the question.
I have been working out of the San Francisco office of G-town for over a year now. I love it, I love the people, I love the ( Read more... ) -
Al's Guide to cleaning up your Windows computer
I was asked recently by a friend to help her clean up / speed up her computer. (Actually, I'm asked to do this by about half a dozen people daily at work, but that's besides the point.)
Rather than writing it out in an email, I thought perhaps a publicly accessible LJ post would be more useful.

Guido
I just met the guy who wrote f'ing Python. (The programming language, not the movie.)
Why?
Because he works in my office.
I swear sometimes it's surreal the type of people who work here.

Just popping back in...
Time for my tri-annual post! (I can recall a time when I posted something almost daily. Tri-Annual? This is just sad...)
I have talked to a few of you more recently than others, but I'm going to go with the lowest-common-denominator here, and assume you all haven't heard from me in a damn long time.
I'm still happy, employed and living in San ( Read more... ) -
Today, a recap
It's been a ridiculously long time since I've so much as glanced at LJ, let alone posted anything. I always have some grandiose plans to rejoin the ranks of LJ and spill all manner of interesting things about my life onto the intarwebs, but then life sidetracks me and I end up with... no LJ post. Today I will shrug off the curse of no time for LJ ( Read more... ) -
Beefhoven has a lot in common with Aretha Franklin
First, a little background.
gut recently purchased the amazing gem of audio that is The Songs of West Side Story as done by various artists. If you bother to click that link and read the track listing, you'll know that the various artists in question are pretty much nothing I normally listen to. So, as Sarah and I are sitting and listening to the ( Read more... ) -
Coffee, brought to you by the makers of your favorite flying discs?
So in my daily meanderings through the vast wasteland that is the intarwebs, I stumbled across the Aerobie Aeropress. I now covet it, and it's significantly cheaper than the Clover 1s that I've grown addicted to.
It's weird to want a coffee maker made by a frisbee company. -
Hallelujah
I can't believe it took this long for someone to create this thing. -
Things I've been up to
I realize it's been a very long time since I've said anything here, and some of you are potentially wondering what the hell I'm up to these days. Here's a very brief (because I really ought to get to bed) synopsis, in no particular order! hoorj~ for unordered lists.
