close to a wedding singer. But all the same i was kick ass. Seriously to toot my own horn. Pictures. This is the first wedding i have gone to post age 7. It was a lot of fun. Congrats Erica & Enjay

So I booted up a computer that i have had on my desk for the last 2 years. This was the first time and after applying about 34 hot patches i searched around on the hard disk. While finding a ton of crazy junk, i also found a lot of old pictures. here is what i have sorted and got on line so far. Wonder how much more i will find. This is a lot of Kids from Redmond High but also some old Corbis Alumni as well as a Sad day for my old blazer. And a TP job we are only waiting to get heather with!

So as i sit here on my ibook, i realize that i am loving it more and more for casual web-browsing and the no minded day to day work that is the internet. but there are a few things that are tedious on this mac like the lack of a right mouse button. guess i need to wait until the new i386 imac is out. Anyway a few tasks that i had to take care of were blogging and RSS feeds. Each of which after about 3 hours of playing with widgets and goofing around with software did i come up with the following. RSS Feed

NetNewsWire Lite - this application properly aggregates all RSS feeds in a nice OSX aqua format and allows the fast download when i pick up a wifi link for 2 mins in my car. its also free. There is a pay version but i dont want to pay for mac software. that makes me sick. the link for the free software is at the end of the page. This program gets the Kelly OSX approval.

Blogger API

Since DasBlog is MoveableType compliant i started my search for MT widgets. All of them suck XML isn't that powerful yet. I found an application called ecto This application appears to be as powerful as my windows counterpart BlogJet. In fact i would go so far as to say this application kicks the pants off of BlogJet; if it wasn't for the goofy osx user interface here and there I would be in love. In fact i did go to the work of trying to find a crack for it for OSX (couldn't find one) but I just contacted them and if its useable on i386 and PPC then i will gladly shell out the $20 for this product.

Other notable software while i am at it

    Cocktail - Mac OS Cleaner (equivalent of TweekUI) This application has proved most useful for running of cron jobs and such that keep BSD subsystem happy.
    Macjanitor - free version of Cocktail for the clean up jobs
    AirTraffic Widget - WiFi Display Program
    google toolbar for firefox - duhNow i sit and wait for the new iBook intel version!

So i updated to the new cool version thinking finally my Cisco VPN will stop crashing. Thanks to apple it gave me new problems. I was looking into the problem of "DNS resolve issues OSX" and found a TON of people with the same issues as me. Now i dont know why or who or when it failed. After a lot of reading and testing, found a few things. One it wasnt my network. Two there is no way i am going to use the "fix" of hardcoding DNS servers or setting other "Locations" for my network settings A huge story about the problems with OSX and DNS and crappy tech support. Out of this site or something else i found a new idea stupid mac likes to be hip and they implement IPv6 well the hell with that. Untill they fix there shit away it will go. I turned it off on the control panel and edited the /etc/hostconfig find the section for IPv6 and write it to NO reboot and your problem is solved. Damn AAAA records messing up my browsing!

Went out to see $imdb(Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) this weekend. It was everything i hoped it would be. Lots of people say its Depp at his creepy ness, yes but i didn't think it was over the top and resembling Michael Jackson like reviewers say. Actually I thought it was perfect remember this is a remake of the book not the original movie. This movie was worth the 9 dollars hands down. My only complaint is that the oompa songs could have been more of a sing along. Since well, why have them if they arnt?

This past weekend was the annual RHS/Echo Community Foundation Dunk Hoops Tournament. Basically everyone gets together for a organised game of ball. I DJ’d This little event. It was about 8 hour long and i was able to think of music to play for 8 hours (yikes).

After a very long day and we actually got some sun. Headed out to Valhalla in Kirkland for a bar sponsored ECF event. A good Saturday event.

I spent the day at Alki Point, now i want to move there…

The $imdb(Fantastic Four), yes i got to actually go watch a movie. Even if the movie price is a rip off at $9 this movie was ok. I put it on the same level as $imdb(Hulk) only it was funny. the Johnny Storm character was awesome i don't know if i was tired or it was actually good script but it made me laugh. as for the movie it was ho hum on the wow factor. Jessica Alba looking hot. Other then that it was a Marvel Movie for the collection. This was no X-Men film but it was no Hulk either. about a spider man 2 rating. with out the cool special effects.

went to go see bugs bunny on Broadway last night. it was very cool it was great to see the orchestra play along with cartoons it must be hard to do.
