Nice & small Thai restaurants, but parking is bad and the food is bastardized to suit gringo taste. John loves the Orange Chicken, I agree that it is good.

Back To Blogging Again

After 3 months hiatus, I think I might want to start blogging again, need to journal my adventure in creating my own ppm repository and wedding planning.

This is going to be a fun spring.

PS: expect lots of back dating posts.

New Fire Code

Got this from the management:

February 25, 2009

New Regulation:
The new regulation enforced by local fire department reads as follows:

2007 California Fire Code, Section 308.3.1 open-flame cooking devices.
Charcoal burners and other open-flame cooking devices shall not be operated on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction.

Exceptions:
1. Single family homes and duplexes.
2. Where buildings, balconies, and decks are protected by an automatic sprinkler system.
3. Liquefied-petroleum LP (which includes propane) gas fueled cooking devices having LP gas container with a water capacity not greater than 2.5 pounds (1 pound LP-gas capacity)

Alright - time to move out.

Microblogging

Prime example of Web 2.0 terminology inflation, and rightfully NYT is confused:

But Facebook also contains a similar feature called the “status update,” and a program called Yammer lets office workers post short updates about their activities.

Not to mention status in AOL/YIM/MSN/Plaxo and 'What are you working on?' in Linkedin. All those stuff (whatever you may call it) can be linked together and should be linked together.

Currently, I am writing my status at Twitter and it feeds to Facebook and Plaxo.

50 Most Loathsome People In USA 2008, According To Buffalo Beast

I liken this one:

13. Joe Lieberman

Charges: A fickle, flabbery fiend reviled by both parties, Lieberman somehow finds himself more powerful than ever, failing forward by virtue of the Democrats’ unfalteringly chumpish lack of discipline. After promising that he was “not going to go to…the Republican convention, and spend my time attacking Barack Obama,” Lieberman went to the Republican convention and attacked Barack Obama. But that was just the beginning of his descent into a self-dug hole of betrayal that should have proved inescapable. Lieberman thought it was “a good question” to ask if Obama was a Marxist. He campaigned not just with McCain, but with Palin and down-ticket Republicans, another thing he said he wouldn’t do. But the most loathsome trait Lieberman exhibits is that most loathsome of all: Smearing dissent as treasonous. The kind of suppressive asshole who would accuse you of helping terrorists by beating him at checkers should not be Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, and is not someone worth rewarding for his own dissent.

Exhibit A: “In matters of war, we undermine presidential credibility at our nation's peril.” “Sen. Obama doesn't come to this debate with a lot of credibility.”

Sentence: Lieberman awakes to find himself in the body of an impoverished Iraqi living in a small apartment with 12 family members and no electricity. Shocked by this inexplicable turn of events, he stumbles outside and cries to God, looking up just in time for the white phosphorous to hit him in the face.
