WANT!

Oh man, it’s too bad my pay just went down a big chunk and I’ve had to swear off the impulse purchases. Because I just got my hands on my first G1 phone, and I like it. A lot. Not as sweet as a iPhone, but I love the keyboard and the fact that it has cut and paste. Unfortunately T-Mobile’s 3G network is pretty sparse compared to AT&T’s. And there aren’t as many cool apps for the G1 phone. Maybe that’s the incentive I need to wait for version 2 of the phone. Yeah, that’s it. I’m not stuck with my outmoded and obsolete Treo, I’m waiting for version 2.

At OnLinux.ca

I’m at the Ontario Linux Fest in Toronto right now. I thought people would look at me funny for Mac OS X on my laptop instead of some version of Linux. There are about 5 people here with Mac laptops, but several of them are running Linux on them, but the talk I just went to was done by a guy with a MacBook Air running Mac OS X.

You know, it struck me that it’s a good thing I’ve still got my Treo phone, because as a Prius driving, MacBook Pro using Obama supporter, having an iPhone would probably drive me through my personal Schwartzchild radius and compress me into a black hole of pretentiousness.

Maybe I’m a little stressed out

My impending job change has me stressed out so much that I’m having trouble sleeping. But maybe I’m letting it get to me more than I should. Today I used the word “asshat” in a problem report resolution. Mind you, I was referring to whoever at Sun is responsible for changing the name of the Java Runtime Engine from jre to j2re and then back to jre (and a whole bunch of other gratuitous naming convention and numbering scheme changes), so it’s a very appropriate adjective, but in retrospect I don’t think my cow orkers would quite understand my sentiment.
