2:30 and all is well

But I'm not exactly sleeping. I was really hoping to get back on a reasonable schedule once Gareth started school, but it just hasn't quite clicked yet.

 Maybe I'll just see if there are any movies on the Tivo -- then bed for sure

Do the right thing? Or do the thing right?

In debugging something I've found a super elegant solution to something.  It's not something I was planning on changing for this release, but it would be a substantial improvement and would likely help a lot of people.

On the other hand, the way that's it's been for a long while now is pretty damn good as it is.  There's no urgency to change it on this release.  And this release is definitely urgent.  There's a Snow Leopard is breathing down the neck of a lot of developers, including me.

The engineer in me says that I really need to, "fix it now or it'll never get done."

The product manager in me says, "ship it!"

I think I'm going to sleep on it.  Sleep is probably a sign that the product manager has already won.

On the water

Enough work for the day. Time for some dinner on the esplanade. The smoke from the fires should make for an amazing sunset.

Sorry for the gross-out posts

Sorry for the tooth-losing gross out posts.  But earlier today while we were at a play I could tell the tooth was really wobbly.  It was just a matter of time.  At intermission I asked Gareth to show me and it looked all crooked, like it was already loosing its grasp.  I had to take a picture to document it.

Then, we treated the kids to pizza afterwards, for sitting all the way through a 3-hour performance -- pretty good for 4 and 7 year olds.  Mid way through the first piece of pizza we all heard the "clink" sound as the tooth hit the plate.

It actually wasn't gross at all.

And, needless to say, he's looking pretty cool sportin' the big gap.

Gareth's Front Tooth

It's almost falling out. It's hanging on by a thread.

I wasn't sold on @bodega to begin with

…but I figured I'd add Stacks anyway. Hey it's free! What have I got to lose?

I submitted my plugin, and the process was a pretty nice experience.  A really solid web app.  The confirmation rolled in a while later and I opened Bodega to check it out.  You know, just to make sure that the links were good and there weren't any glaring typos.

But after confirming that everything was OK, I had a look around.  And...  I found something.  A little utility that I hadn't seen before.  It's free and it hides my desktop clutter.  Which i have a lot of.  It's called Camouflage, and seems to work just like I had hoped, but that's not the point.

The point is that I live and breath Mac apps and spend the better part of 10 hours of ever day looking at different apps for ideas about my own.  And yet somehow this one had made it by and Bodega had made me aware of it.

It could just be a happy accident, or maybe it's just that there are very few items on Bodega right now, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and just say I'm happy I had it today.  If a Mac dork like me can find something new and useful, just think what this means to novices or people new to the platform. Despite the big creepy awning, I think it's a good thing.  

So, go check it out:  http://appbodega.com/
