Never have important phone calls on cell phones if you can at all possibly help it. Also, Sprint on campus during the day is apparently now horrible. Two lessons uncomfortably learned this afternoon.

Amazingly, it all seems to run ok.
No matter what I tried (deleteing folders, profiles, mozreg files, registry keys), running the Firefox (1.0PR) or Thunderbird (0.8) installers would always result in text that said it was trying to install Thunderbird 0.6 (which looks positively bizarre w/ the Firefox logo. Turns out it was a stale tmp folder in Local SettingsTemp.
Now that was a frickin annoying bug. (ns_temp is evil)
Was thinking about making a mirror yesterday, and sure enough, the I Found Some Of Your Life blog is gone. Taken down preemptively with an apology. The concept, discussion, and fallout is all fascinating.
Azure Ray – New Resolution (TPS Mix) – a great mix from the single. Also, this Good Life EP has some amazing tracks (can you tell I just got a shipment from Saddle Creek?).
Heard Ben Lee’s cover of Float On on KCRW today. Not too shabby. For those of you w/o vinyl playing apparati, here’s an MP3.
Hmm, so I Found Some Of Your Life made it to a /. story. The blog admin removed the post in the comments of that one post about the identity of one of the people in a picture (that I linked to earlier). That seems rather unsporting. Here’s the direct link of the photo of Lindsey (Herrel?) for posterity.

On November 9, 2001, when you could still choke on the dust in the air near Ground Zero, BBC Television received a call in London from a top-level US intelligence agent. He was not happy. Shortly after George W. Bush took office, he told us reluctantly, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the FBI, “were told to back off the Saudis.”
The new idea: rip BIN/CUEs into incoming folder. Encode at night on cron (replaygain to HQ VBR MP3 and M4A) and zip up the image files in archive folder), rsync nightly.
