Dorm bandwidth during the summer. O_o

Update:

me: I would like to watch Weeds right now, please.
ncsu: okay

tweetie is totally the hot new thing, so here's a keygen for you:

import sha

def killchars(s, allowedchars):
    r = ""
    return "".join(l for l in s if l in allowedchars)

def tweetieregistration(email):
    email.lower()
    email_alpha = killchars(email, "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxyz")
    digest = sha.new(email_alpha).hexdigest()
    key = killchars(digest, "0123456789")[:8]
    return key

print tweetieregistration("test@test.com")

outputs: 90218151

Dear lj friends,

So I've been playing with my crappy acoustic guitar for a while and I love it. I was thinking about buying a crappy electric guitar. My plan was to go to craigslist and my hope was ≤$100 for the guitar. I'd need an amp too, I guess.

here are some I found.

Thoughts? I'm pretty helpless here.

If you have an apple mighty mouse, you might set the squeeze button for all sorts of things. I wanted to set it to be a back button in Safari. So I wrote this little script. It makes the squeeze button into a back button if Safari is open or does an expose all windows if it isn't.

If you want to use it yourself, download backexpose.zip, unzip it and put backexpose.app in ~/Library/Scripts. Then open up System Preferences → Keyboard & Mouse → Mouse. Pull down the squeeze button and choose Other. Choose ~/Library/Scripts/backexpose.app and you're good to go!

tell application "System Events" to set appList to name of application processes whose frontmost is true
set frontApp to item 1 of appList

if frontApp is "Safari" then
	tell application "System Events" to keystroke "[" using command down
else
	-- expose all windows
	tell application "System Events" to key code 101
end if

Here's a picture of the computer I'm working on right now. :P

Okay now I need ideas for a simple Mac OS X or iPhone program to write. Any of my Mac friends have a problem they'd like solved?

I want a new domain name. Something that'd make for a cool email. Ideas?

Hey guys, I'm home. If I haven't called you yet, I will soon. :)

I went to Liverpool yesterday. More pics later (probably on facebook). Here's a panorama of the River Mersey (click for full size).

Here's a neat OS X trick. Let's say you have a document open and you want to open its containing folder. If you look at the top of your window and you see an icon with the filename, just right (option) click on the icon.

President Obama. :-D Some highlights of the night:

• "So you think Palin's daughter and that babydaddy STILL going to get married?"
• "Al Sharpton has a look on face that says 'Wtf, what does he have that I don't?'"
• "this really is like credit music. Joe: "I'm getting the fuck out of here, see ya"
• Weed is decriminalized in Massachusetts.
• "I like how the Clintons are noticeably absent" (from the victory speech)
• cnn reporter: "and cnn projects the winner goes to mccain" (he forgot to say 'Utah')
• cnn.com reporter to a john mccain supporter: "i can only imagine what you're feeling"

If you supported McCain, I'm sorry. I'm totally rubbing it in your face. It's all in good fun. :) If things go like normal, you'll get the house back in 2 years and the presidency in 8.

If you supported Clinton, well, fuck you.

Happy Halloween. I miss all of you. (OMFG LOLZ)
