This is totally awesome... in summary:
Go to "about:config"
Filter for "browser.backspace_action"
Set its value to "0"
... and then firefox will let you use backspace as the "back" button again! Now all us fvwm2 users won't have to cuss and moan whenever we hit alt-left and the window manager captures the event without passing it to the browser. My life is so much better now...
Hi. Yeah, I'm still alive. What with the marriage, buying a car, moving, getting a new job and all, this last year has gone by pretty quick. Life is good and someday in the pretty near future (take that near with a grain of salt, the last time I said near I waited 3 years to update this site), I will be redoing this whole site almost from scratch. Expect a new and improved version of photojournal and a slightly more unified content management system. wahoo ... in the meantime, just keep doing whatever it is you've been doing for the last 3 years instead of looking at my homepage.
Minori and I got married today.
 | Well that title pretty much says it all... This March begins with some big news - I proposed to Minori, and she accepted! My ninja-style surprise trip to Japan was a total success. I'm so glad I kept a set of apartment keys when I came back to America last fall. I'm also glad my shoes are big enough for her to realize it was me and not some random man in her apartment when she came home from work and there they were in her doorway... The other shoe dropping of course, is the fact that since we decided to live in America for the time being, I must proceed to sell my soul to the Department of Homeland Security... who would have thought there would be so much paperwork involved in a visa? Kind of takes all the romance out of it ... "Honey, I love you ... by the way I'm going to need some passport photos, English translations of every important document you've ever owned, these 3 gazillion forms filled out, and a comprehensive health exam... you're also going to have to take a trip to Tokyo to interview for your visa... hope you can get work off ... but I love you, promise!" ... ha ha ... well the paperwork will be worth it, every last page :) |
That's right, as of last Monday I'm back in California, programming for the laser light show full time. Expect to see some new and interesting stuff this winter as we unveil our new 16-bit DAC board to the world ... along with some live effects, more laser video games, and a few surprises that you won't want to miss...
I just found this site and am really enjoying this music. Here is the link: http://www.fwmj.com/plex/ ... heh ... it's a good departure from crazy Japanese radio all the time ...
In other news, tonight is the second to last episode of Densha Otoko! I've been watching this show and it's awesome. I'm going to pick up the book sometime too ... we'll see if I start learning some good otaku-style Japanese soon...
Today is Ben's birthday. Bring him cake. Sing him songs. Remind him that his early twenties are now soooo oficcially over ... heh ... sorry Ben :) Happy Birthday!
News of Hurricane Katrina has made it all the way out to Japan, so I've been reading all about it and watching some news clips. What a terrible sight. Well good luck everyone and I hope this whole thing is over soon.
Googe imode is cool ... it translates real homepages into chtml/wml for your cel phone so you can do web searches and get real homepage info on your tiny crap cel phone web browser. So cool!
Today there was a ~6 earthquake in Miyagi prefecture. I was 2 prefectures away in Ibaraki, travelling with MInori ... the whole building shook for about a minute, the street signs outside were waving around like they were made of rubber. It was very very exciting. I'm glad nobody got hurt.
