Nice ... my server at home has completed several of the tasks it needed to do before the weekend. That frees up CPU for new work! SETI@Home!

The web filter here at the office is stupid. ThePirateBay - ok. YouTube - ok. EZTV - ok. 4chan - ok. Twitter - banned. WTF is Twitter bad?

Every time I look at North Korea with Google Maps it looks different. Has Google been forced to use 1950's era pictures of Pyongyang?

@Paul_Hartrick I've put together a crude comparison article comparing the i5 and the i7. It'll be on my blog tomorrow ...

So, after all is said and done, my next notebook (if I can buy one this year), will come equipped with an i5 series processor and 4+ GB RAM.

The Mobile i5 (i5-540M) is about 80% the speed, consumes 70% the power, and costs about half as much as the Mobile i7-820QM...

After a lot of research and digging, I've come to a conclusion on the differences between the mobile i5 and the i7 processors ...

@shinpuren I thought this kind of stuff only happened in B-movies and cartoons ...

Wow ... working with a Level 2 student who has Level 5 grammar. Sometimes hard to believe the sentences he says. Really sharp kid :o

@temhideki Someday? Why not show him next year? Get busy! :P

Of to work!

Hmm ... about time to get ready for work. Need to put this blog post off until later ...

Can anyone suggest an honest comparison between the mobile i5 and i7 processors? Every article I read strays and talks about the MacBook Pro

@Durf Yeah ... I avoid those sites like the plague :/

Why does Engadget even bother allowing comments? 90% of them are crap after crap. I'd down-rank everything into oblivion if I could ...

@way0utwest I thought that's what fatherhood was supposed to be like all the time ... :P

@temhideki You *want* to run 42km? On a Sunday, no less? Sunday's are for rest, not self-inflicted punishment :P

Today's a late start at work. It feels weird to stay home until darn near 1PM before heading off to the office. Shame it means a 9:10 finish

@JapanMike You and me, both, Mike ... you and me, both. :/

New blog post: Why Do We Still Have Business Trips? http://www.j2fi.net/2010/02/25/why-do-we-still-have-business-trips/

That said, it's time for some sleep. おやすみなさい～

Alright ... just put another two hours into a new web project that'll go live on March 1st at Midnight (Japan time). Lookin' forward to it!

@Durf Can you enjoy the new Ebisu from your desk? There should be a rule about that ... working past 8 means alcohol is OK :P

@shinpuren Muahahahaha! My plan to woo the IOC to Rio worked perfectly! Enjoy your tax hike, Tokyoites!

@satoshi213 I haven't watched her performance, yet. I'll probably do that tomorrow morning before going to work, though :)
