About translating: it's the opposite with me--I'm able to translate very cleanly between Japanese and English...but my Japanese is so rusty that I usually need my textbook and kanji dictionary to even do a single sentence. T_T The grammar I mostly re...
Some people say "chivalry is dead," or "it's a world of equality so they should each have to pay the same"—but I honestly try to be a nice, genuinely chivalrous guy, and for me that means opening and closing the car door for her; holding the restaura...
My mom much more so than my dad; she's actually the one who taught me HTML back when I was in 5th grade. Most of her computing time now though is spent playing arcade-style games (like Mahjongg), photo editing, or on I Can Has Cheezburger. ^^; My dad...
Well, I shouldn't say for certain will wait until public release...once I get back to my desktop compy I may give it a spin in VMware. I do remember my Dad's old Pentium AT&T machine running Windows 3.1, and CompuServe dial-up internet...these are de...
Lots of people ride bikes at my school, but there isn't nearly enough bike parking on campus--and the school keeps threatening to impound and cite the owners of bikes locked to railings, &c, anything but bike racks. We could definitely use something...
By "works across" I mean it puts a toolbar button in these and several other browsers, that brings up a menu with stored passwords for the site you're on and the option to go to and automatically log in to any of the sites you have passwords stored f...
Firefox's password remembering function does a pretty good job, but as a Mac user I personally use 1Password because it works across Camino, Safari, and Firefox, can store addresses and credit cards and other general passwords too, has a built in pas...
Desktop is a 23" Apple Cinema widescreen, at 1920x1280. The laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet) is an interesting one though: 12.1" screen, with a 1400x1050 resolution—smaller than most "old" 1280x1024 monitors (17", 19") but a very nice, crisp revol...
100Mbps, definitely. I could deal with here-and-there but not everywhere wifi in exchange for Epic Internets +10 at home. The best you really ever see here in the Phoenix, AZ area is in the 20Mbps range. T_T
That first pic reminds me of Half Life 2 for some reason…good time for a friendly reminder, don't go out into the sewers or canals late at night without taking proper anti-zombie and anti-Combine precautions to protect yourself.
My strength (and I guess my weakness too) is that I spread my knowledge across as wide a variety of subjects as I can, but that of course can sometimes keep me from really achieving a level of mastery in any one subject. Probably my strongest points...
They are linked to on the official Flickr tools web page below the official Flickr Uploader, which I suppose would be an indication that they're at least somewhat decent. :P I'm just trying to decide whether it's worth the €12 for the iPhoto plugin,...
I do some photo posting on my blog, and have been looking into Flickr as the main place to store and link photos to. Is it worth paying the US$25 for a Flickr Pro account? Also, does anyone use the Flickr exporters for iPhoto or Aperture? Are they wo...
Some animals--species, and sometimes even individual creatures--take to captivity differently. Ones taken right from the wild I would think would tend to not do as well because of the shock of being taken from their natural habitat, but probably seco...
In Arizona nobody carries a portable ashtray--it's either the sidewalk, or the public trays built into trash cans or sitting next to benches. Ubuntu Server is the way to go now for setting up a fresh server. Put it in a virtual machine, on a developm...
