    #wednesday night round-up

    In addition to today’s one and two other posts, I’ve crapped my brain in to this one…

    I was super stoked earlier today to discover that A’s surprise for me came in and I snatched it up. (How I have missed this disc!)

    Other than that: Shit is hitting the fan left and right. It’s really kind of incredible how and when things blow up. (But anyway…) I’ve coordinated one hell of a surprise for A for this weekend that I’m quite looking forward to.

    Oh, and apparently AppleScript thinks that recurring events in iCal do not qualify as events. What do you mean by that? I mean that if you have set an event to recur every weekday until the end of time but the initializing event is (say…) 6 months ago, AppleScript won’t return the recurrence as existing today.

    tell application "iCal"
      set theCal to calendar "Sample Calendar"
      set eventSummary to the events in eventSummary
      set the item_count to the number of items in eventSummary
      repeat with i from 1 to the item_count
        set this_item to item i of eventSummary
        if (the start date of this_item) is todayIs then
          display dialog ((start date of this_item as string) &⌐
          " to " & (end date of this_item as string) & " " &⌐
          (summary of this_item as string)) buttons {"OK"}⌐
          default button 1
        end if
      end repeat
    end tell

    #more Cold War nostalgia

    When it comes to Russian propaganda posters and other Cold War nostalgia, nothing beats a visit to BoingBoing.


    #crapped out…

    I feel like an ass having missed the T&B Wedding Event.

    Crescent Beach

    That being said, I had a great time on A & I’s impromptu trip to Maine this past weekend. Sunburned feet are the karmic retribution for not making it to Ohio.

    Returned to more work hell. Just when you thought things were starting to get better, they always tend to fall down around you. It wouldn’t be so bad (I suppose) if the lessons learned weren’t just all the same self-fulfilling prophecies that drill in the cynicism. The worst part is that you’ll get next to no leverage when it comes to the delegation but you’ll catch all the heat when the shit goes down.

    Time to get off-grid and do it First Distributed Republic style.

    #meme-watch ’05: environmental edition

    Name five (5) things that you have done in the past 6 months that you think of as environmental…

    1. I aim to carpool 5 days per week (and it usually works out to be like 3 or 4 times per week)
    2. I recycle at home
    3. I recycle at work
    4. Whenever I can, I use the back of some sheet of paper for note-taking (or else take the notes electronically)
    5. I walk to the liquor store
