Easily Distracted

I finally got around to updating to the
latest Firefox
and migrating from mozilla –mail to Thunderbird. 
It took a while, but it was definitely worth
it.  The only problem I ran into was that I lost all
my extensions and had to re-install them.  So that’s what I
did.

Over the last… um… long time, I’ve been browsing the
extensions and selecting the extra-tasty looking
ones.  Here’s what I grabbed:

• All-in-One
  Gestures (please tell me you use
  mouse gestures.  If not, I can think of
  lots of other ways you can waste your time….)
• Image
  Zoom
• Allow
  Right-Click
• Download
  Statusbar
• BugMeNot
• Add Bookmark
  Here
• Popup
  Count
• Diggler
• Nuke
  Anything
• Bookmark
  Backup
• Duplicate Tab
• Super
  DragAndGo
• Flat Bookmark
  Editing
• Deepest Sender
  (This should be of interest to
  anyone here!  As you can probably tell,
  this post is strangely formatted.  I’m using it, right
  now: an awesome LJ Client!)
• Copy URL +
• MiniT
  (drag+indicator)
• Moji (Japanese Dictionary)
• Session Saver (rewrite)

To get any of these
extensions, I recommend going to the official link:
mozilla
update.  There’s also extension room.
…I can’t believe how nice this LJ Client is.  I was never
intending to keep using livejournal, but this makes the experience so
much better.  I am here, for now, anyways….. Okay, that’s it
for that.  If you got other extensions you think are
“the shit,” post ‘em.  Time to make dinner.

I was compiling a big list of audio streams so as I did not have
to go
to websites every time I wanted to listen to something different. Novel
idea, neh?

[NOTE: "neh" = Japanese "ne" + Canadian "eh"]

Anyways, after I had done all the tedious editing, I had my ultimate
playlist of 60 (non-unique) streams. I concatenated all the “.pls”
files I downloaded, and then did minor fixups (renumbering). When I
loaded the list into XMMS, which I generally use to listen to music,
none of the extra information was being displayed; just the internet
address. At first, I thought it was a bug with the playlist; something
as simple as support for the pls
playlist format
must be implemented!  Both the format and XMMS have been
around
for a long time.  I was about to download the source and see
how
much effort it would take to implement, when I saw this. 
So the next version of XMMS will most likely support exactly what I was
looking for.  Good. 

Oh, here’s the file I created, if anyone is interested.  streams.pls

Got my bike on Monday! When I went to the lost property office,
the guy had to “go to the bike room,” so I guess it’s a fairly common
thing to leave your bike on the bus… …right? ^^
I also got my UPass. Paying for public passage with coins and
disposable tickets is for CHUMPS! Paying through student fees is where
it’s at! Valid from Aug.15. Snazzy.

I’m tired and want to sleep -> My day will be laid out in
point form.
- look up bus schedule on internet and make sure every bus has a little
“bike” icon beside it.
- arrive at bus stop with bike. first bus: no bike rack. second bus: no
bike rack. …. shit.
- BIKE to bus depot where my next bus is and actually make it just in
time to be on my original schedule.
- sweaty & tired.
- yay! bike racks the rest of the way! at least internet only lied
once.
- arrive at school many years later, go to appointment.
- go to 4 different buildings to get new student ID (hint: go to
bookstore FIRST)
- use new student id to go swimming for free! UBC pool is awesome.
water temperature is perfect.
- after long relaxing swim (including hot tub, sauna, steam room,
shower), eat california roll
- *gasp* The student union building has changed! My god! The arcade!
so… much.. smaller… it seems…. looks prettier, tho.
- read for a bit
- go to mcdonald’s for an ice-cream
- find place w/room I’m going to look at, and read some more cuz I’m
early.
- go to house of vegetarians and look at their rooms to rent, fill out
questionnaire, talk, blahh
- try desperately to make a bus, and miss it… just barely
- take the next one
- on bus, girl across from me says, “is that a zaurus? A sharp
zaurus?!”
- talk about PDAs and crap until she gets off.
- lots on my mind.
- I get off bus.
- bus drives away.
- i walk to next bus
- wait, why the hell am i walking?
- bus stole my bike.
- ….
- fuk
Oh, and the penguin blinked.

I actually had a busy day today. But enough of that, I think you should watch this:

dance voldo dance (from Soul Calibur)

(I think Alex especially will appreciate this….)

I sprained my ankle, today. Went for a run and it just kinda rolled over, sending me into the gravel and dirt.

*cough* lame! *cough*
