Are you guys having problems going back far in your friends history?

Tonight I met this girl who graduated from Providence in '07.

Me: You don't remember Taylor Pitelka, do you?
Meredith: Haha, oh yeah, and his brother Stephen!
Me: You mean Hunter.
Meredith: Yeah, that's right. They were so dorky!
Me: By the way, that Stephen was me.

Dorm bandwidth during the summer. O_o

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?
