Recent issues aside, Archstone has offered us a new place to live... albeit not without some stress. As I wrote prior, our upcoming move was delayed by the existing tenant of our new apartment rescinding their 30 day notice. Although Sophie, General Manager of the South Market ...
Recently, we've been extremely excited about our upcoming move to the Archstone South Market ; a stone's throw from the museum of modern art and Yuerba Buena Gardens. Apparently, it may not be in the cards. On the very day the tenants were to move out of #4301, they called ...
Update: I've passed the torch to Jonny at his wonderful ...
Although we have not heard from Randy Vo since last week (when he was still trying to come up with a small payment), Hanzo has been doing fantastic. He's running around, playing like a little puppy, keeping us up at night, teasing around: he's friendly to people, friendly to pets ...
BBEdit's grep replacement feature is not as robust as most; most people get smart and learn perl or another language with a deeper definition of features, but I don't have that time today. What I need is to 1) replace a series of text that is randomly identified and 2) ...
Worth linking, though I feel a little dirty posting this video in my blog. Humorous for the first 30 seconds, then I have to admit, way too long to be enjoyable anymore... See more ...
Neil Bishop, IT man at BPB, emailed me this entertaining tidbit today: A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position. The ...
The saga continues with the broker who sold us our dog; it's come to an interesting point where I'm unsure that we can mediate a solution, though I've tried over a dozen times, By May 23rd I had not heard a response from him, and sent him a text letting him ...
I talked one more time yesterday morning (while in Chicago) with Randy Vo. He had told me last Wednesday that he would be getting the money to reimburse us for the medical to save Hanzõ's life and would keep in constant contact: he hadn't. He said he reason he was ...
I know what you're thinking... it's a dog chew toy. Really, that's what they're selling it as. It has double action chew.
I've been digging around the Bay Area looking for a new apartment, and we continue to see the marketing ads for Parkmerced, so it was worth doing an online search. Aside Apartment Ratings scathing review, one of the old tenants kept a detailed blog of his events at ...
Safari allows full support of the first-line and the first-letter CSS request, but Firefox 2 and under only shows partial support. Case example: the containing div of this post is class=entry (class instead of ID for other pages that require it), but simply calling .entry:first-line or .entry:first-letter works fine in ...
My apologies for the feed reflux, but fed up with wordpress' auto correct functionality, I turned it off in my posts via disable wpautop plugin. No longer paragraphs in the wrong places, no longer break tags wherever wordpress feels it needs one.
It was a long night with a spunky puppy; I'm slightly scared for my life with the next six months looking forward to staying at home babysitting and not being able to spend time with Sheryl... but he's cute, and he's here to stay...
Yesterday evening Sheryl joined me for a spring trunk show of Amber Marie Bently's new line of Jewelry at the W Hotel in San Francisco. As the evening ran down, Kattya and Patrick, friends and owners of the new pet boutique CheekoB, walked fashionably 3 hours late into the main ...
Would you accept a compliment about your hair, from a stylist with horrible hair? If a mechanic said your car was junk, would you take them serious if their own car didn't run (Steve Buscemi excluded)? How about an award for the best of the Web, from a company ...
Well, it was bound to happen, the question was less when so much as it was how, and it's an interesting addition I'd say uses inventive techniques. Case in point- Ever Broke an Aluminum Bat (which actually doesn't show any breaking of an Aluminum Bat, sad to say) loads with ...
On April 19th, 2008, the pacific coastal winds burrowed through the avenues of San Francisco and up the hillsides peaked with houses. Very few people seemed out on the town, and the ones who braved the gusts held close to personal items darting abruptly against...
I lost a part of myself this morning I'll never get back, thanks to this Microsoft Vista internal pitch:
I recently updated a client's business website to Wordpress 2.5, and noticed the dated rand_posts trick failed me. Further investigation noted that Wordpress had completely changed it's table schema from categories, post2cat, and link2cat tables to a more flexible Taxonomy Schema. After a bit of Googling, the ...
