Our beatography group had our second mission — i think that our buddy from australia had the long end of the stick, given he got to shoot on a sunday morning, as opposed to my saturday evening, which had us booked for a double date. It was cool anyway, ‘cos i had a slight excuse to bring the camera to dinner, since our double datees were celebrating birthdays that weekend.

I was relieved that these shots came out–i’d taken the camera to the beach a few weeks back and the sand that got into it had apparently messed up the lens so that we couldn’t set the aperture. joy thoroughly blew out the sand a few weeks later (basically going over my sad job of getting it out), and apparently that did the trick. Full-sized pics can be found in my gallery.

wow this kinda brings a tear to the old eye. I went to Rose Hulman my first year of college, and this was my first unix (like) experience. ironically enough on the page, the colour station is the only B&W pic on the page. :)

Interface Builder was my STUFF, even though i had no idea what i was doing. and who can forget the english accent of “Your printer is out of paper”, and “Paper is jaaaamed in your printer”. . If i had one now i’d put it to better use.

so, i lost beats.com over the weekend (on my mother’s 70th birthday no less!). The domain name lapsed. I have owned beats.com for 7 years. In a single weekend, it disappeared. This is ridiculous. I apparently registered this domain name through budget register, not godaddy, through who i currently have my other 21 domain names. Budget register was bought by dotmaniac. Now i don’t know how dotmaniac treats its “native customers”, but if it is how i was “taken care of”, they’re no godaddy by any stretch of the imagination.
