A Flemm Blog

Uh ... hey.

You haven't been here all this time have you? ...

oh...

uh ... oops.

I'm opening the blog-box to show you that I am alive. My blog been both alive and dead for the past little while, but now it's just alive. Less fun, but more reading material. (Less interesting, but more interesting)

Well, as you must have noticed, I'm back. Where have I been? I've been all around, so we've got tons of stuff to get caught up on. Let's get going.

Firstly, I've been creating. I have an application in the iPhone/iPod touch App store, and another under review. I've spent months on this shit, and it's finally one-point-oh.

If you want to know about CurlBook, check out www.curlbook.com.

Secondly, ah, never mind. If anything of real interest had happened to me over the past couple months, I probably would have written it here. (I have put a ton of stuff on the Twitter though)

Pause

While writing, I've just bought this album:

Check it out.

Resume

Where was I?

Pause again

I just created a smart folder (if you use OSX you ought to know what that is, if you don't, never mind) for all .xcodeproj files. Why didn't I think of that earlier?

Okay, resume. I mean it this time

I’ve made some advances on the coffee front since we last spoke. I was given the extremely generous gift of 15 bar pump style espresso maker, and an automated conical burr grinder. YEAH! Espresso seemed like a logical progression from (with) coffee. It’s just like coffee, but with a better delivery system.

I’ve been using a french press for a long time, but I’ve had to have my coffee ground at time-of-purchase to use it. Obviously, this is less than ideal. Now (thanks to the new grinder) my grounds are fresh, and course enough to make proper sludge-free coffee.

I have also purchased a box of empty tea-bags, and am filling them with coffee grounds. Now I can make coffee with no mess/effort when I’m away from my lab (that’s what I’m calling my coffee-equipment area). I call these (wait for it ) coffee-bags.

On a completely unrelated note (but on the Schrödinger theme), I'm planning an experiment for the coming week (Monday through Sunday). I'm going to turn off ring-tones and vibration on my phone. This way, I will only become aware of new messages/emails/missed calls when I decide to check (Schrödinger's phone). At any moment, I will have friends and be important, while at the same time have no friends, and not be needed by anyone. Should be interesting.

These days we’re expected to treat our online/phone people with more urgency and respect than people we’re with at any given moment. I hate this, but I also hate knowing that my phone has a message, and not looking. Curiosity I guess. As I said, it should be interesting.

That’s all for now, but there will be more. I promise.
