I installed Mozilla 1.7 final and used it for a few hours. It suddenly froze my machine completely – I couldn’t even SSH to it from another machine, so I did a hard reboot. The next time I ran Mozilla, all of my preferences were gone, including all of my email accounts, cookies & saved passwords.

Diet update
I’ve now been on the diet for just over two weeks. This weekend I switch to phase two, which means I start introducing some healthy carbs. When I weighed myself this morning I was down to 183. I no longer even think about the diet; it’s become almost automatic. I’m back to my normal energy level.
Today I met someone I haven’t seen in a while and he noticed immediately that I lost weight.
GMail!
Thanks to a friend I now have a gmail address! I don’t have any invitations to send out yet, but when I do, I’ll announce it, after giving a few friends first choice.
Some Encouragement
When I weighed myself this morning, I was down to 185, the lowest I’ve been in as long as I can remember. I’m also feeling a lot better. This is the 10th day of my diet. Although I can move to phase 2 next Wednesday, I will probably wait to start phase 2 on the weekend.
Day 7
Today is day 7 of my diet. I’m feeling a lot better today, although I still don’t have my usual level of energy. I skipped the morning snack I’m supposed to have today & I wasn’t hungry.
I was able to do a full workout at the gym yesterday without any problem. When I weighed myself yesterday I was 189 and I notice a slight visible difference.
Day Three
Today is my third day of the South Beach diet. I feel a lot better today and I’m getting used to it.
Day Two
Today is my second day on the South Beach Diet. Right now I feel like crap. I have no energy, and I have a headache & upset stomach. I made the mistake of weighing myself this morning, even though I know I’m not supposed to weigh myself every day – I gained two pounds. I’m determined to stick with it. After a few days it will get easier.
Update: I went to the gym this afternoon and I was able to work out without any trouble. I’m feeling a lot better after dinner.
Starting my diet
I started the South Beach diet today. When I got up this morning and weighed myself, I was 191 pounds. I hope to get down to 175 pounds, which is my ideal weight at 5’10, according to a chart.
Memorial Day
Today is Memorial day and I’ve been on vacation since Thursday. That means I stayed away from my computer most of the time and spent most of the days at the pool. The condo had a big Memorial Day party yesterday. We had so much food left over we had another one today.
At yesterday’s party I took lots of pictures and burned a DVD, which everyone loved. I found that the battery life of my Canon S100 truly sucks – I went through two batteries without filling my 128M memory card.
Idiots who lack reading comprehension
In 2002, I wrote this entry when I was depressed and unhappy with the direction of my life. I felt like I needed a change of scenery and a new career. An article in Kuro5hin about working in Korea caught my eye and I toyed with the idea as a possible way out of the rut I was in. I never got any further than just thinking about it. I’ve never been to Korea nor do I have any contacts there.
Yet people commented on it asking for jobs in Korea and offering their services. Today I got feedback from someone asking why I didn’t post any more about it. That’s because I didn’t write the original article – I merely linked to an article someone else wrote which caught my eye as a possible life change.
