Trip

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

For anyone who doesn’t know, I’m leaving tomorrow morning for Iowa to see my sister. I’ll be back the 7th and sane by the 8th or 9th.

I’ll miss you folks.

P.S. Don’t worry, I’ll still be watching you, Elspeth.

P.P.S. Rohail and Estie — don’t try anything funny. You know what you’ll get.

An interesting side effect of using autoscroll in Firefox:

If you middle-click (to activate autoscroll) so that the circular autoscroll pivot is partly off-screen, the scrolling is jerky. Bad clipping algorithm in the drawing engine?

Also, a cool trick for tuning unplugged bass: put your thumb on the body and put your index finger in your ear. Looks goofy, but gives you a lot more sound to tune from.
