No thanks to blogger =P <br /> <br />Anyway, I'm now reachable at skafka at you know. Going to point my alumni account to forward there for a bit to get a better feel for it than just looking at a communal site. It seems like everyone has invites recently, perhaps they are expanding the beta again. <br /> <br />Now the dilemma, do I have to keep this blog going? <br /> <br /> <br />P.S blogger suggest gmail=small in spell check and doesn't know blog or blogger either. hehehe<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6952262-108690381667213285?l=skafka.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08072047136157092114noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952262.post-1085768060222044822004-05-28T11:10:00.000-07:002004-05-28T11:14:20.223-07:00Interesting article in the NYTimes on people <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/27/technology/circuits/27blog.html">addicted to blogging</a>. <br /> <br />It mentions SIMS briefly (a student commenting on blogging, not as an example of addicts ;) ), I always like seeing the alma matter in print. Some day, people might actually recognize my degree...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6952262-108576806022204482?l=skafka.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08072047136157092114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952262.post-1085464941135890922004-05-24T22:56:00.000-07:002004-05-24T23:02:21.136-07:00Ok, Aditya. You wanted a new post, here it is. I have been pretty busy the last week and since blogging isn't in my blood (yet?), this has fallen by the wayside. <br /> <br />However, I just got back from a weekend in Colorado, where I got to relax, away from the computers for a few days. Went there for a wedding, it's the first time I've been there (excluding connecting flights). Amazing state. I spend a night in Denver with an old college roommate. Then it was off to Ft. Collins which is about an hour north. Such amazing scenery. I made it Rocky Mountain National Park for a very very short hike. Saw many many Elk (it took me awhile to remember what they were, I haven't seen any since I was little) and even a coyote. Very cool. <br /> <br />I've always thought about getting to the Rockies for a trip, but now I have to go. It looks like an amazing place to spend a week backpacking. That's on the calendar for next summer. Stunning views. <br /> <br />Back to work and deadlines tomorrow...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6952262-108546494113589092?l=skafka.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08072047136157092114noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952262.post-1084850222559243512004-05-17T20:07:00.000-07:002004-05-17T20:17:02.560-07:00My parents were in town for the weekend. My sister finished her PhD (well, actually not till Friday I think) in education at Berkeley, and so it was a big family weekend. The ceremony was ok, speeches were nice, but they hooded every single Masters student and teaching credential student. There most have been 100. There were 50+ PhDs, but luckily only about 35 were actually there. I much preferred my graduation from SIMS. Of course, maybe the fact that I was graduating had something to do with it. But it was more intimate and half as long. And we put our hoods on ourselves. I guess it must be considered a technical skill... <br /> <br />Sunday my parents wanted to bike over the GG bridge to Tiburon. Ever since we took my brother I guess they've wanted to do it. There was some walking up of hills and many breaks, but they made it. Had a nice lunch and a ferry ride back to SF. <br /> <br />So now I'm trying to recover from a lot of running around, but it's not to be as I'm off to Redmond for the day tomorrow and then Denver on Friday. <br /> <br />Better busy than bored though.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6952262-108485022255924351?l=skafka.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08072047136157092114noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952262.post-1084560254525577272004-05-14T11:42:00.000-07:002004-05-14T11:44:14.526-07:00Apparently Blogger doesn't quite give the same feedback when publishing a post on Mozilla as IE. In fact, it doesn't give any. Hence, I posted the same thing 3 time. At least since no one is reading this, I could delete it without public embarrassment.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6952262-108456025452557727?l=skafka.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08072047136157092114noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952262.post-1084559896253454182004-05-14T11:33:00.000-07:002004-05-14T11:38:16.253-07:00Before dinner, I took the folks to the <a href="http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/Losaltos/">Los Altos farmers market</a>. They got a big kick out of all the fresh (and cheap) fruits and veggies there. Strawberries are a little cheaper here than in Minnesota... <br /> <br />Afterwards we went to <a href="http://www.stoarestaurant.com/">STOA</a>, a very nice upscale vegetarian restaurant in Palo Alto. It was a nice find, I'd definitely go back. <br /> <br />Still no luck on the email account. Oh well.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6952262-108455989625345418?l=skafka.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08072047136157092114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952262.post-1084472849628418102004-05-13T11:26:00.000-07:002004-05-13T11:27:29.626-07:00Still no nibble. I suppose it's pretty easy for them to tell I'm not much of a blogger. But I'm going to hack away at this till something happens (like beta ending). <br /> <br />Folks are in town tonight. Perhaps I'll have stories to tell tomorrow. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6952262-108447284962841810?l=skafka.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08072047136157092114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952262.post-1084388114054999452004-05-12T11:54:00.000-07:002004-05-12T11:55:14.056-07:00Ok, day two in my attempt to get a gmail account. I guess just logging in a bunch won't cut it, so I'm resigned to the fact that I just may have to post a few things. <br /> <br />Sigh.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6952262-108438811405499945?l=skafka.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08072047136157092114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952262.post-1084296284362334442004-05-11T10:24:00.000-07:002004-05-11T10:24:44.363-07:00Ok, so this is my first post. Actually, I only created this in hopes of getting a gmail account. We'll see what happens...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6952262-108429628436233444?l=skafka.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08072047136157092114noreply@blogger.com0
