For whatever reason, my weekends have ceased to recharge me recently. I don't know what it is -- it's not like I did a ton of chasing this weekend. But I certainly woke up today going "wait, it's Monday already?"
I was, however, delighted to see my new office chair sitting in the office. Adam was nice enough to loan me a very nice spare he had sitting around in his basement. It's one of those black mesh, super expensive, totally awesome ones. Yay for friends!
I'm patiently waiting for October to come around so I can get Fallout 3 for the 360, but am also bored out of my skull in the gaming dept. I've reverted back to old arcade games from XBox Live, like Uno and Hexic. It's not that I don't enjoy them during my down time, but they're also not very captivating either.
Interesting REALbasic question for the day: now that IE can be entirely uninstalled from the OS with Windows 7, how does the HTMLViewer control react? Sure, it's nice to use the native rendering engine for each platform, but this makes two platforms out of three where the native rendering engine which RS has picked may not actually be present. Oops.
I head out to France this weekend for a week-long work trip. I wish Elissa could come along on this one, but it just wasn't in the stars this time around. Instead, we're getting a totally awesome visitor: Jennifer (one of Elissa's best friends) is coming to town! She gets in tomorrow, which is awesome. But I'm bummed that I will be out of town for the majority of her visit. :-( I get back late on the 29th from France, and I think Jennifer will be gone by then.
However, the following weekend (the 5th of Sept), we're having a party here at the house. It's a house-warming party, of sorts. Mostly just an excuse to play yard games, drink beer and have fun with friends. If you're interested in stopping by, either drop me a line or surprise me -- either way is fine with me. :-) The theme of the party is: California Sucks, Minnesota Rocks. I still have no idea how we will express this theme, but I'm sure we'll come up with something. :-P
'California sucks' if all you really knew was Riverside.
Bakersfield and Riverside both have to be the devil's nostrils, Aaron. There are some beautiful places along the CA coast that put most of the rest of the country to shame. You really should rename the theme of your party as 'Riverside sucks' instead of generalizing a whole state. ;) I'm sure there are parts of MN that are awful too...
Re REALbasic and IE in Windows 7:
It's really an interesting question and I also would like to know the answer for that mainly that in Europe (EU) Windows 7 will NOT have IE installed by default!
I wouldn't mind to see a cross platform solution based on Mozilla/Gecko ;)
