homeless fireman

Like George, I've now had the experience of starting a large fire on my stove (my experience ended with a pan cover and a wet towel, however). Fortunately, I was able to continue my cooking unhindered. It's interesting to note that my smoke alarm is nothing more than a very loud particulate-activated beeping device; no one beyond earshot is alerted to its state. Is that a good thing?

Speaking of my apartment, I am apparently "in danger of being evicted" because one of my fucking neighbors keeps complaining about the volume of my stereo (what "in danger" constitutes is unclear... I have a feeling it just means "we are now giving you a warning"). What pisses me off is not that there's some danger of eviction, but that if I hadn't gone into the office to retrieve a package today, I would never have known about any of this. I checked my lease agreement, and my landlord is required to notify me of complaints from my neighbors. Guess I'll just have to turn off my subwoofer until I move out...

OSX Exposéd

I finally got around to, ahem, obtaining a copy of Panther, and I installed it on dagny (did I mention that I decided to rename the GettoBook dagny-taggart?) last night. Seems pretty cool; most things appear not to have broken too badly, with the notable exception of XDarwin, but that's nothing a little dedicated poking can't fix. Having been looking forward to it for a while now, Exposé still managed to impress. Man, it's too damn sexy. I just wish I could run it on an x86 instead...
