After a couple weeks of consultation, my mom settled on a digital camera, a Nikon 2500. And so far, she seems to be doing pretty well on figuring it out in my absence.
Comments:
"Hey! I figured out how to change the pixels so the picture isn't so big!! Thanks for all your help! :) Love you!!!"
"Travelonious, she's becoming a digicam maniac. Now what? She's gonna start emailing me pictures of lunch and the birds on the front porch, I just know it."
"I just happen to have this really cute picture of a Robin in the new birdbath/feeder...oh and I have several of our resident squirrel...no, not DAD..the squirrel who is destroying my planter baskets by stealing the excelsior lining to make a nest...we're gonna have squirrel babies!!! :)"
"Knit some booties. So they'll be booty-licious squirrels."

I'm an open source, software liberty, God Bless Unix kind of guy 99% of the time, but Unix permissions are really pissing me off. I'm sure some of my problems could be due to my ignorance, but here are my major bitches:
- You can't specify what groups should get what access. What if the file belongs to group foo, and you want group bar to have read access, and group baz to have no access? Nope. I suppose you could get creative with chowning links or something, but why not follow (God forgive me) NT's lead? You can go to town with specific permissions. None of this rwx shit--NT has something like seven different types of access restriction. This can't be that hard to implement, but I can see why it's stayed the way it has, due to backward compatibility. That doesn't make it suck any less.
- Speaking of chowning: as a user, I can't chown stuff to give files away. I can think of all kinds of reasons to give files to apache, like...
- If I'm writing web software, files have to either be a) world writable, or, b) created by apache's user. Either way, everyone else on the box has the ability to write scripts to fuck with them. I wish I could assign permissions to only allow scripts from a certain user's homedir to access those files. That would be difficult to implement, but nice nonetheless.

I don't know if I mentioned it to everyone, but I shaved my beard. Ryan and I decided to call it a draw--after several months of not shaving, we didn't think we had much left to prove.
Comments:
"I had grown to like it...so much so that I was with Travis for several hours before I realized he'd shaved!! He just always looks good to me...I'm his Mom :)"
"I liked it, too, and I'm a bit sad I'm not going to see it in two weeks, but oh well. He always looks good to me, I'm his girlfriend! ;)"
"It's not just ya'll: my stylist told me today that I should be a model. Don't know where that came from, but her coworker agreed. I told 'em I'm too skinny for it."
"Travis, um...DUH. Yes, you SHOULD be a model. You're tall, and skinny works for that biz. You're intelligent, you've got GREAT bone structure, and I'm so happy you uncovered it! Model, boy! The camera LOVES you!!"
"Dee, that's what I said! Good bone structure! (trav, how can you not be flattered?)"

CNN has a page with working 3D models of coalition weapons and slideshows of Iraqi gear.
Comments:
"Sick and wrong."
"I'd kinda like to see a Flash-animated Tony Blair."
"What's sick and wrong about it? It's cool."
"Do YOU want everyone to see whatcha got in your can o' whoop-ass?"
"Hon, I'm sure they got all the specs from the Army to being with."

We are made to bleed,
and scab, and heal, and bleed again.
And turn every scar into a joke....
Buildings and bridges
are made to bend in the wind,
to withstand this world, that's what it takes.
All its steel and stone,
are no match for the air, my friend.
what doesn't bend breaks.
- Ani DiFranco, "Buildings and Bridges"
Comments:
"Sometimes I don't know if the song lyrics you post are supposed to relate to specific things or if you just like their beauty, but I really, really needed this post of Ani. Thank you, even if you didn't know you were doing anything. I love you. :)"

I've gotten several phone calls from a couple people today, and maybe I'm just being old fashioned here, but this is starting to bug the hell out of me...
When you call me on the phone, tell me who you are, and state your purpose. Granted, due to caller ID, I probably already have a good idea of who you are before I answer, but for the love of God, you must have a reason you called me, and I shouldn't have to beat it out of you.
Comments:
"So when I call just to say hello and I love you and how are you, you want I should say that in the beginning??? "
"'Hey Trav... it's Jeff. And, um..'.... Now that I think about it, man, I don't think I've called you with a *purpose*, like, ever."
"Yeah, you're both pretty good at that, but for the rest of the public, if you're callin for no particular purpose, just say, "Hi, just callin' to say hi. What's up?"
That'll work nicely."

It's one thing when your girlfriend lives across the country. It's a whole 'nuther kind of loneliness when you can't even call her in the middle of the day. Like, if she's in Boston for a printmaking conference or the like.
Comments:
"Be glad she's not in Kuwait or Iraq....the days will go quickly....love you!"
"Hi baby! I'm using the swanky hotel's computers! IT SNOWED TODAY. I haven't seen snow since I was nine."
"its cool your mom, and girlfriend care what you're doing...
and are techno-savy enough to leave comments on your site....
- just a dude surf'in around"

it took me too long to realize
that i don't take good pictures
cuz i have the kind of beauty
that moves

Comments:
"...and when someone takes your picture while you're eating, or when you're wearing the non-flattering warm-up pants???"
"And, I took a picture of your Dad today...cuz for the first time in 20 years, he's clean-shaven...and that is no April Fool!!! Love you!"
