I was scouring the net for a guitar tab when I stumbled across a most interesting result:
QuickTime Pro key hack
In some strange way, on some cosmic level of wholeness, on a higher plane of existence, I am sure this makes sense.

I’ve just watched the second season of Jack Bauer 24, and all I can say is wow.
The man is tortured, beaten to a pulp, tortured, beaten some more, and yet is able to then run around and take down terrorists who are well rested, well armed and waiting for him to show up.
Oh, there’s also the fact that he can get from anywhere in Los Angeles to anywhere else in LA in a matter of minutes, no matter the time of day, except when someone is bleeding and it really matters. Then they have to wait for a chopper, and it doesn’t arrive in time.
Reality Distortion Field generators are definitely installed all over LA…
All in all though, I still wait for the next episode.

I’ve been living in Windows for about… 5 months now, and this is what I’ve done in that time:
- Re-installed Windows XP twice — the first time, spyware was at fault, the second it was a random glitch that rendered the system unbootable and unrepairable
- Investigated various anti-spyware and anti-virus software, installed, removed, configured, updated, purchased subscriptions.
- Battled weird/random I/O bottlenecks involving lots of disk thrashing
I had none of those problems when I was running Linux. Yet, I do foresee one problem with Linux — I’ll never be able to leave the machine logged in if I step out of for more than five minutes. If one of my family attempt to use it, they’ll want Windows XP (and don’t suggest they use Linux — doesn’t work).
Interesting choices await me once again.
Interesting developments have taken place recently in the Mono world.
- .NET/Mono compatibility exists now (not just something someone with intimate knowledge of the Mono internals can achieve…)
- MonoDevelop is starting to actually be an IDE!
Maybe it is time to start working on that feed parser library again… Maybe an RSS client that I actually like using too…
