Meet Joe Black was on TV just now…. I happened to catch it as I was planning to lounge for just a few minutes in living room while eating some ice cream… Had to watch the whole thing.

My best friends at the office: Pandora and firefox extension for Last.fm.
I tried to use PandoraFM but workplace internet blocks it.

Other software note: Multiplicity is very excellent app to allow control over multiple computers (each with their own monitor) with one keyboard/mouse. This is fantastic…if only my laptop would stop shutting down every couple minutes (haven’t been able to take it in for service, yet.)

Also, Launchy, which can be trained to act much like Spotlight, and anyway is an excellent (and open-source) launching app. I wish it allowed command-line commands or full-path calls, but aside from those missing features, it’s quite perfect. Definitely most useful to me at home than work, but quite pleasing at work as well.

A couple of weeks ago, a friend was looking at getting a new monitor, which prompted me to look at monitors for myself too…
Sylvia, my 20” Samsung Syncmaster 204t has been absolutely fantastic, but the built-in screen on Danium, my Toshiba Satellite M40 (otherwise a fine machine) is very, very dim especially compared to Sylvia, and bringing up the brightness reasonably to the level I currently have it at, not only remains unpreferably dim, but also washes out the colors.
So while the additional screen space is great and I can keep my menu bar and winamp and a couple other things sitting over there most of the time, it still doesn’t feel like enough, with Sylvia handling all the look-at-worthy stuff all on one screen.

I meant to watch Studio 60 (great show); I’m not sure why I ended up watching The Nine instead.
Actually quite a good show.. sort of like Prison Break only… much more accessible and more personal, and less intense in the any-moment-now- someone-might-get-knifed -or-shot -or-lose-a-hand -or-otherwise-die.

It’s about bonds. The bonds you form with other individuals, and how they transcend everything.

The boys in The Last Kiss were simple and sad, but their characters were not remotely as ugly as I’ve seen.
Idiots make mistakes. It’s a whole other kind of animal who consciously and repeatedly betrays good and love.

‘Recently advised a new show as my background noise as I work.. House has been encouraged to me by several others before.. Finally started it today.

I guess this is now a periodic thing I do… It’s thoroughly useful every time I end up having to reinstall or something goes wrong with the app or I want to recommend some extensions to friends.

So here, my current list of Firefox web browser and Thunderbird email client extensions:
