Well seems my web server got hacked yesterday. Spent the last hour cleaning up the mess. Been a while since I’ve been hacked, guess I’m due.

You can tell how busy my day is based on my unread rss count. Normal is 30. Right now is 110. Stupid swines and their flu.
While I have never used it for anything other than scrolling, Maxine found a good use for a multi-touch trackpad. http://vimeo.com/4413414
Got our first CSA box today from local farmers. Lettuce, asparagus, kale, bok choy and strawberries. Yum! http://yfrog.com/8clnhj
Heading home, wife’s not feeling great. We did have bbq last night, pulled pork and pork ribs. #swineflu
Not sure I’ll ever get used to having to buy liqour at an ABC store. I always feel so guilty in there. http://ncabc.com for non-NC people.
Just had a cup of Counter Culture Kuta brewed with an inverted AeroPress. I gotta admit, it’s a tasty espresso, even for a non espresso guy.
Ordered another 500gb HDD for storing Maxine video footage. This is my third 500gb drive, filled the other 2 in 20 months. Lots of footage!
Really loving Dollhouse, hope it sticks around. If you haven’t seen it, now’s a good week to catch up. http://www.watchdollhouseweek.com/
30 minutes later, made it to work. No, it’s not long, but 2x my normal commute. I blame this dude. http://twitpic.com/43k9t
Lots of traffic on east 40 before 54. What’s going on here, it’s Monday people! Tough enough getting out of bed.
Finally posted the Maxine video for this month. A little Elmo dancing, some running & screaming, was a good month. http://vimeo.com/4345972
YouTube killed my new Maxine video due to using a James Blunt song in the background. They think I’m a pirate I guess? Upping to Vimeo now.
Page for Zoo Sounds is up with demo video! My model was so good, I couldn’t afford talent like this. http://tantrumapps.com/zoo-sounds
If you’re still looking for pepsi or MFN dew throwback, might want to check target endcaps. http://twitpic.com/41nsr
Just used Final Cut for the first time in a year. iMovie can handle 99% of my needs, but tonight I had to bring out the big guns.
Raleigh farmers market is a zoo. Strawberries at every booth. Picked up some plants for the new garden and salsa. http://twitpic.com/3ys4p
Heading to the Rockford Raleigh today for lunch with my cousins. Never been there, good place? Any recommendations?
Having a “Rum and Throwback Pepsi” for a night cap. I gotta say, I miss the Coke. HFCS or not, Pepsi just doesn’t cut it.
Bombs Away! Just submitted my first app to Apple for approval. Hope it goes smoothly through the process and gets on the App Store next week
Loud movers relocating racks of equipment from a lab to a truck right next to us. Headphones ON! Yeah yeah yeahs BLASTING!
Had 5 Guys for lunch. I don’t feel so great now. Probably shouldn’t have finished the fries…
Who knew an Ostrich was so quiet? And what’s with a Rhinos call, seriously.
So turns out an Ostrich’s call is so low, it can’t really be heard on the iPhone built in speaker! Glad I test these things, quality!
Honestly prefer Pepsi Throwback over my beloved Coke, and I’m not a Pepsi fan at all. There’s just something about no HFCS I like. #pepsi
Pushing Maxine on the backyard swing. There really isn’t a better way to finish the day. http://twitpic.com/3siyy
Maxine has learned that she can play Zoo Sounds with her bare foot. Least she has a sense of humor…
After 30 min of laying awake in bed, decided I’ll get up. Sneezing even with my claratin. Damn you allergies!
Have a 46” 1080p LCD on my desk now, testing some digital signage stuff. That thing sure puts out some heat. Turning it off between tests.
Playing with Tweetie on Mac. Am a twitterriffic user but love tweetie on iPhone. So far pretty happy, multi account is nice, UI is clean.
Picked up a case of Pepsi Throwback. Made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. What an eventful Target run! http://twitpic.com/3lpmu
Just closed the beta signups and posted the iPhone app for anyone who has registered to download it. http://TantrumApps.com/beta
Target upped the price of Pete’s Wicked Ale to $6.79! Still a great deal, but they used to be $4.99. Bummer. http://twitpic.com/3louu
First time I’ve seen a Wii Fit in a store, Target in Durham off 15/501. Got mine, collecting dust since launch. http://twitpic.com/3lncn
Maxine sure loves ice cream. Maybe get her a child size next time though… http://twitpic.com/3k58c
Just a reminder, if you’re interested in helping test my kids iPhone app, please register by noon Sunday. http://tantrumapps.com/beta/
If you’re a parent and have an iPhone, I could use some help beta testing a new app for kids. http://TantrumApps.com/beta to register.
Loving Time Machine for those silly, “how’d I screw up the code so much that I can’t fix it now” moments. Thank you Apple!
Why is everyone is so anxious to proclaim when twitter has “jumped the shark.” Does it really matter? Service hasn’t changed for me.
Realizing that I have become a slave to Claratin. If I miss a dose, sneezing takes over within 6 hours. Damn you allergies! Damn you to hell
Routinely finding myself zooming in 150% on all Word and Excel docs to read it. What’s with the 10pt type? Or am I just getting old/blind?
Trying to figure out at-hoc distribution for iPhone apps. Thanks apple for making this so difficult!
After 2 hours of futsing with it, finally got Ad-Hoc to work on iPhone app. Now the wife gets to play with the ZooSounds app with Maxine.
My first iPhone app, Zoo Sounds, is finally looking good enough to preview. Thoughts? http://tinyurl.com/ce5w7f
This is why I cancelled my reader’s digest sub. Seriously? “Sexting”? And who puts Photo.app on their iPhone dock? http://twitpic.com/37ts7
Looking for stock photos of kids for an iPhone app. iStockPhoto suggests “little boys” as a search term. This just got weird…
Not quite satisfied with tormenting the cat, Maxime has switched to teasing the fish. http://twitpic.com/368k3
Was just thinking how cool it would be to have a little “in case of emergency” section for extra beer in the fridge. Do I have a problem?
Had my first “is that a Twitter shirt?” experience at Estes farmers market. Not sure what you were selling, but hello “girl on cell phone”.
Checking out @3cups, cool vibe but a little crowded. Kinda bummed there’s no espresso drinks, just press pots. Was looking forward to a cap.
