I’m now at WWDC. It’s now 7:40 and the keynote starts at 10AM. I’ll be posting live updates at http://www.macmegasite.com/WWDC.html.

Everyone at MacHack must be hitting SlashDot’s RSS feed from the same IP address. I now see the following message in NetNewsWire:

I’m now at Ft. Lauderdale Airport. They have free wireless access in terminal C. I’m not sure about the rest of the airport.

I leave tomorrow morning for MacHack & WWDC. I managed to finish work this afternoon.

Happiness is like a cat. If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you. It will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you’ll find it rubbing up against your legs and jumping into your lap.

— William Bennett

The stray keeps coming around and meows loudly until I come out. He rubs against my leg and keeps following me around, but he still won’t let me pet him, and when I tried, he scratched me. I’ve been feeding him, but he won’t eat the food I leave until I go away.

I *finally* started working on my class for MacHack. I have it about 1/3 done now.

The black stray cat came around again today (a few of my neighbors named it Midnight). It got pretty close to me and even rubbed against my leg a few times, but when I tried to pet him, he swiped me with his claws.

He’s very skinny, but wouldn’t eat any of the treats I tried to give him. I left a dish of dry food out for him.

I wish he was old enough to vote 🙂

BounceWeb just charged $4.95 to my PayPal account for the account that I cancelled several months ago. I logged in and requested $4.95 back from them. What a bunch of assholes.
