Toronto!
So, I'm coming out to Toronto for a few days. I'll be there on the 8th and stay until I run out of people to visit. So, if you're in Toronto, let me know! |

Toronto Trip
So, some of my flist is probably expecting me to be in Toronto last week. Obviously I'm not. Sorry about that. I've been busy with work and my boss decided it was easier to keep me here rather than have me try to work while on the road. I'll try to get out there later this summer, though! |

I was looking for the date of Trish and Andrew's wedding and found this Bible quiz on her journal. This is scary: You know the Bible 79%! Wow! You are truly a student of the Bible! Some of the questions were difficult, but they didn't slow you down! You know the books, the characters, the events . . . Very impressive!

AOL's In2TV sucks.
AOL just launched In2TV, a service that is supposed to allow you to watch TV on demand, online. I say "supposed to" because I can't get it to work. If I try to watch a show, the player appears, it plays the first ad fine, then... nothing. I also tried to download the "Hi-Q" version of the episode, which uses a Bittorrent clone to fetch DRM'd videos. When I go to play it, I get the message: "We apologize, this content must be played in the AOL video player." Of course, I am using the AOL video player. Bastards. |

So, someone on #hackcanada posts a news article about this supposed new "powdered alcohol" drink, subyou. I'm pretty skeptical of the ability of alcohol to be powdered, due to its low freezing and melting point. The site linked above has a short explanation, but it's light on details, references or patent numbers. A search for "powdered alcohol" and "maltodextrin" only comes up with 12 sites, and they all repeat the same information. I'm not impressed by the fact that everyone is reacting to this without actually investigating it. So, I'm launching my own investigation. I'm going to buy some, take it to the chem lab, and see how much alcohol is really in it. But, I need cash. So I'm summoning the power of my friends list! Please click below to donate to the Powdered Alcohol Science Fund. I need about $60 to get this stuff over from Germany, I think. |

Damn it. I slept in and I missed ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) trish_ka and Andrew again. They're currently on the way to Alberta. I am such an incompetent friend. Sorry guys, I'll miss you. :( |

Hahaha. trish_ka, it looks like you and your boyfriend are rooting for the wrong team in the States. Check this out. Just in case it disappears from their Web site: Clinton avoided the temptations of beef, a blonde and bad boy Jack Nicholson on his big night out in Manhattan on Tuesday. The former prez, pictured at left, leaving BLT Steak at 1 a.m. yesterday — enjoyed a late-night feast with 10 pals, including Nicholson, movie producer Jerry Bruckheimer and beautiful Canadian politician Belinda Stronach, a longtime close friend of Clinton. Oh noes! |

Some people think I have Attention Deficit Disorder, but I don't think so. I just figured out that I really have Interest Deficit Disorder: I don't care about anything for more than a few moments. |

My new Xbox VGA cable is working! I made it using the guides at xbox-linux.org and xbox-scene.com. The picture looks awesome, thanks to the high quality VGA cable I used to make it. No ghosting at all! I got some help and parts from the electronics guys at the university, and an Xbox video connector from a fellow Xbox enthusiast here in town. Here are some blurry pictures of the final product: There are still a few things I have left to do. Knights of the Old Republic seems to like to turn green randomly, and I need to set up higher resolution modes for XFree86. Also, the audio cables need to be added to the adapter. The Xbox brings all video and audio signals out on one connector. |
