Patent

I now have a patent to my name. Woohoo!

What do you do when...

...your OS thinks your browser crashed, but your browser doesn't think so and is working perfectly fine... ?

I guess I'll just leave that dialog around til I'm done with Safari.

There's Something Wrong With Me...

...I've had my 40D for like 2 weeks and haven't blogged about it! I guess I'm busy... a couple things going on right now.

A Little Much...

New Design

I was bored with the old one... but I'm liking the themes Wordpress has more... I may port one, or I may just move this over there.

UPDATE: I changed the new design. This is pretty simple and I'm liking it.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Here's a lovely winter scene from yesterday, Christmas Eve... oh wait... that's more like autumn... oh well.

Double-lane Drive Throughs

So this is curious... there's a McDonald's in one of the smallish central valley towns (in Cali) that has a double-lane drive through, and they make a big deal of it (lots of signs and all). However, it's only double-lane up to the point at which you order. So there are two lines of cars ordering, but they merge to pay and pick up food. Can anyone explain why this is useful?

Seems to me that it doesn't alleviate any bottlenecks. The bottleneck at fast food places is almost always the food preparation, not the speed at which cars move through the line. If you had an amazingly good food prep crew, then maybe you'd benefit by having a complete double-lane drive through. But having two lanes which feed into one just seems silly.

And now I've devoted far more time and thought to this than it's really worth.

So busy!

I've been meaning to post about Chinatown, Monterey, etc. (all stuff we did this weekend). But alas, I've been crazy busy. And I've got audio stuff to talk about. And and and... sigh. Hopefully work will return to only a dull roar tomorrow. :)

Doings

Wow... with family here, we've been busy!

DSL!

We have DSL and wireless again! Woohoo!
