De-cluttered Tumblr
I’ve removed a lot of the clutter from my tumblr, including the last.fm feed, which was a bit overwhelming.
Filing an extension for my 2007 taxes. Still waiting on some paper work.
I received a credit card offer at my address for someone who I broke up with more than 3 years ago and who never was at this address.

I’ve already had several genius ideas this morning and I just fixed the production web server which had some java memory disaster.
Just had a fabulous idea for another way I can use Gmail to do things I can’t do right now with current tools. That happens a lot.

OMG I love python. I’m having so much fun writing my little GAE app.
Stopped at the colo to fix a server I recently upgraded.
Think I’ll head out on the bike a little before it starts raining again.
Building my first Google Apps Engine application.
Wow I’m glad that I haven’t moved anything to my GrandCentral numbers yet. They seem to be experiencing a major outage.
Back from Brighton Beer Garden. Brunch buffet was still pretty good but 40 HD screens unnecessary.
Wishing I went to the Dr. Katz live show at Somerville Theatre on Thursday. Looks like it was a good time.
Starting to really enjoy the Wunderground webclip I made of the Somerville weather. I’m starting to use Dashboard as a result of it.
