Tab Mix Plus Incompatible with Google Toolbar New Tab
I installed the Google Toolbar for Firefox and I really like the page that it displays when opening a new tab. However that page doesn't appear in new tabs if you have Tab Mix Plus installed. The google forum had a solution to that problem. However when using that solution the address bar doesn't end up with the focus when you create a new tab. I mentioned the annoyance on the Google forum and on the Tab Mix Plus forum, but no solution seemed forthcoming. After nearly two months trying to remembering to type Cmd-L every time I opened a new tab, I finally decided to fix Tab Mix Plus myself. It really was easier then I expected. |

Bruce Robison and Paul Eason
Last night I saw Bruce Robison and Paul Eason at the Hall of Fame. Bruce was as good as I expected, and put on a great show. I had never heard of Paul Eason before, but he put on a good show too, and I need to go buy his CD. I also ran into George from work and his wife. |

More car vandalism trouble
Last night while my car was parked in the garage at work, some jackass stole the soft top off of it. What kind of asshole steals a 15+ year old piece of vinyl off a 20+ year old dented, primer gray toyota 4runner? The moron didn't even steal the ribs and mounting stuff, so he couldn't put it on another car unless he already had the exact same setup but was missing the top. Current Mood:  angry |

Last night at work sure started out poorly. While I can't claim Do was a great friend, I knew him like I know all the officers that work night patrol. He also worked frequent off-duties up at the hospital. Last night was a tough night for everyone at PD as well as everyone on the medic and all the employees of the ER. Current Mood:  exhausted |

Nationally Registered
As of today I am a Nationally Registered EMT-Paramedic. Still waiting on the State of Texas to process my app for certification, but that's just a formality compared to the exam that was required for NREMT-P. That is all Current Mood:  ecstaticCurrent Music: Cory Morrow - Stayin' Out Late |

fixed iTunes songs that won't accept artwork
So, I've gotten a little compulsive about adding artwork to my music collection in iTunes. I came across a couple of albums which wouldn't allow adding artwork. After a bit of googling nothing looked promising until I found a page from the MusicBrainz wiki about the MusicBrainz program Picard. It mentions that iTunes has a bug in handling id3v2.4 tags and that will eat your artwork. I don't think that was my problem, but it caused me start experimenting with the id3 tag as the cause of my problems. Success came when I used the python tool eyed3 to copy the v1 tag over the existing v2.3 tag. eyed3 -1 --to-v2.3 [file] I ended up using eyed3 on a convenient Debian box since it was easy to install, but it looks like eyed3 is available in DarwinPorts as well. (this post is mostly just so that I can remember how to fix similar files I might find in the future) Current Mood: accomplishedCurrent Music: The Beatles - Anthology 1 - Hard Days Night |

Silence; A Puppy
Well it's been nearly a year since I've posted to my journal. So I decided that while I should be studying for an impending history exam is the perfect time to post. Any excuse to slack. In unrelated news my roommate got a 8 week old yellow lab puppy. Pictures to follow when I can find the ScamCam. More on the ScamCam later. That is all. Current Music: Fan Noise |

I smell like smoke. Sure sign that I've been out to a club. Went out to Midnight Rodeo with Kylin tonight after class. We had lots of fun, but she worries too much and it makes it hard for her to dance. After a few drinks apiece we managed to two step and she even managed to waltz once. Lots of fun. Now to fold the rest of my laundry and finish cleaning up my apartment before my guests arrive tomorrow. Current Mood: tired |

Hard work is good for the soul. I'm exhausted. My mother now has a nice level spot for her new hot tub. I'm exhausted. We also moved a new hot tub into her back yard where it awaits a concrete slab for the nice level spot we dug. I'm exhausted, but my mind is _finally_ clear. Current Mood: exhausted |

Well, I didn't do defensive driving, and I didn't make any progress on my English class. I did however head over to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) dopplertx's for homebrews. I didn't accomplish any of the things I needed to, but my mood is much improved. Off to sleep; class in the morning. Current Music: Pat Green - Take Me Out To A Dancehall |

WEST CAMPUS -- Hundreds of UT students assembled in West Campus today in what is believed to be the worlds first day-long flashmob. Around Two-Hundred women participated, all wearing similar hair styles, over-generous applications of makeup, near identical black dresses, and blue nametags. They could be seen traveling in packs throughout the entire West Campus neighborhood. Ok, so I made up the news story, but that really is how it felt. The entire experience was surreal. Before I realized that these were simply sorority sheep, I was thinking flashmob. After I realized what really was happening, all I could do was revel in thought of how wonderful it is for life truely to be more interesting than fiction. Current Mood: amused |

Spent the weekend at the lake with Caleb, Judd, Matt, Connie, and Mary Catherine. It's always a good time, and the girls seemed to enjoy themselves as well. It was nice to finally meet the woman Matt is so taken with. Anyway, I'm sore and sunburnt. Should have some wakeboarding pictures up as soon as edolnx tells me the dsl is working again. I'll probably slack at work until I have to head to class. Current Mood: burnt |

So, tomorrow is Dad's birthday. Just the thought of it pending has made this week pretty rough. Driving to Dallas Thursday night to spend the weekend with my family. Here I am in the middle of my 1.5 week break from school, and my life still seems hectic. Current Mood: worried |

I've started reading again. For a while there I couldn't deal with the way my mind could wander while I read. Now that I'm finally able to read some without becoming too depressed I'm struck by how much I missed it. I mentioned that I just finished "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" by Cory Doctorow, and I've just found "Listener: A book for the internet in 60 Entries" by Warren Ellis. It's appearing serially via mistersleepless, and I'm excited by the future of writing in the internet age. Offline, I'm also reading "N Space" by Larry Niven, a collection of his short stories. It too is wonderful. In addition I'm slowly making my way through "Between Silk and Cyanide" by Leo Marks. It's a good WW2 cryptographer memoir, and it lends itself wonderfully for the sporatic reading it gets as my designated "car book". Anyway, not much to say, just happy to be reading again, and I wanted to share. Current Mood: excitedCurrent Music: Dave Matthews Band - Pig |
