life
    Ah well, the danes left, mathieu left so noew we're just stuck with george.

    Nothing interesting has happened the past few days, except that I've discovered that this country is like Kafka's the Process. I cannot get a SF Residential Parking Permit without my car registration paper, and I'm still waiting for the DMV to mail it to me. This is all very nice and whatnot, the issue is just, that all the streets around where I live require this permit, if you want to park for more then two hours between 08 and 19 on weekdays. Without the permit, slambam, 30$ worth of parking ticket is suddenly staring through your windshield.

    That blows.

    Of course the arsehole at the office that handles it (which I found after the DMV prick sent me to the wrong office... across town...) was of course complete unwilling to negotiate anything...

    So basically, I'm likely to pay 30$-60$ a week because the DMV is a batch of nikkelforstyrrede kvægdrivere. Or I can try not to pay them, a thing that might have worked in a any civilized country.

    I say we nuke Washington DC...

    Jeg tror ligesom, at ovenstaaende udgyldese daekker mine irritationer for idag...

    (summary for the danish impaired : fuck off).

hacking
    campd submitted USB patches to gnome-pilot, what a bliss. vadim found the bug in it that borked the normal serial cradle support. New release will be out this weekend, I want to spend some time first getting IrDA support working (if I can figure out how to set it up on my laptop, wanna help ?).
