Re: Building an Eco-Village

Hey thanks for the comment. Short answer, yes and yes. Although I prefer the term "completely or actually vegetarian" as I found myself really upset by leather and wool etc for a while but decided it was ridiculous to not wear or use the things I already had. If anything, it's got to be best to treasure and appreciate these things and the life that gave them to us and to just not buy more. And although I could be called an atheist, I consider myself fairly spiritual and in perpetually in awe of nature, our universe, and the power of the Sun. By the way, this is a fairly old post, for now I am fairly content honing my skills in the context of suburban homesteading, but still hope to be able to practice self-sufficient permaculture on a larger scale at some point in the next 10? years...

Rex, are you vegan, or at least vegetarian and atheist? My wife and I are looking for a people to start the same thing, but I won't put up with meat eaters and believers anymore. So where do you stand on these two issues?

I guess, I got tired of fixing other people's problems, and decided it's
time to focus on bigger things in life... Have a bunch of start-up ideas,
still deciding which direction to run... (from NYC for now)

Hey sorry for the really delayed response... I would try setting changing the "Speed" number to see if that affects the perceptible fading of the song.

Hey did you ever end up trying these? I've been wearing them to work almost daily recently, and I have a lot of co-workers that are wearing them frequently as well.

I mean the setup described in the article from webworkerdaily that you have linked to.

What do you mean "the webworkerdaily"?

Re: Back to Firefox + Gmail Tasks for GTD

memengo — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 03:59:36 -0000

I'm using the webworkerdaily with a twist: I have "Today" task list which I populate at the start of the day and which I use to keep track of my day's progress.

Okay I just did some quick research... apparently someone has a patent on
this type of software, so there's no easy or legal way to do this without
paying a fee to a company... see here for a discussion:

Hooray for patents =(

Please tell me if one can purchase any race bib recognition software, as I am thinking of doing the same as you write about finding away which is more affordable.... to the runners.
I am in South Africa.

I just tried this script because it sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. However, it did not fade out the track, it just skipped to the selected. any ideas?

Re: Flixster Could Be Better

Julie — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 11:51:13 -0000

Rex - in Flixster's defense they have all those features you mentioned except for the "movies I own / who I'm lending my discs to" feature, but my friends and I get around that by using "movie lists" which are easy to use and actually well suited for tracking our DVD collections.

Agree the ads are annoying, but Flixster is IMO providing a great service for free, so you can't blame them for trying to offset their web hosting costs.
