Hm. keeping track of life is hard.

Got just a tad bit behind on posting.  Ah, well. It happens.  The last three weeks have been hellish – work’s dysfunctionality has gone from nuisance to AAAAAAAAAAARRRGH! in no time flat.  I’m spending a lot of time running around shouting at managemen these days; it’s only a matter of time before I perform some kind of CLM.

Jailbroken iPhone lost it’s jailbrokenness Friday because 2.1 was getting good reviews and seemed to improve battery life and reception. I’ll add a yea vote to that list – it’s working niice. I’m now laughing my ass off, because Apple made iTunes 8 reject jailbroken iPhones… but with the new 2.1 jailbreak, the iPhone Dev Team has worked around this sad attempt at control. I always laugh at these exchanges – it’d frustrate the hell out of me if I was the developer, but at this point it’s like watching the Keystone Kops chase Batman.

Nobilis came in a while ago, and continues to impress. It’s pretty, it’s fun to read, and I look forward to trying to run it sometime. We’ll see if I’m ever good enough to – just need to practice.

Asombroso is tequila unlike any other tequila I’ve had. It’s head and shoulders above Patron; more flavor, less “gah! tequila!” aftertaste, it’s fruity and pleasant to drink straight. I’m curious about a version they make that’s been aged in bordeaux barrels for three months. Pink tequila can only be strange.
