Old man yells at cloud
This is cool. Not only is there now an easy way to download FLV files (via the otherwise useless new Real Player 11 Beta), but there’s a Quicktime plugin that allows them to be edited and converted into a format that’s actually useful.
Open source software is cool.
Apparently, some vampires actually do die. I’m sorry it had to be this one, though.
It wasn’t major, but it was the first relatively decent snowfall I’ve seen since moving back east two and a half years ago. Which sort of sucks. I remember when I was a kid that we always got a couple of fairly good snowstorms every winter, usually in the 3-4 inch range and very often more than that. Come to think of it, it seems like we even used to get one every time I came home to visit when I was living in San Francisco.
I guess we’re in a bit of a warm phase now. Maybe it will go away soon.
Let me clarify my earlier statement: no discernible data loss except for some problems I had with Apple Mail.

One more thing directed at my three (two? one?) remaining San Francisco readers: can someone please offer my husband a room? He’s really nice, and he never does stupid stuff like smoking pot or peeing on the carpet.
Success! And with no discernible data loss.
The new drive is quiet and big, and I’m very happy to be in the Terrabyte Club, even if it is spread over two different internal drives.
