What is going on with Safari constantly SPODing on me? Almost every page that loads then requires a few seconds of SPOD before I can type (or finish typing) in a form field, or click on a link…what is this?
My guess is that it happens because Safari is looking in its enormous history of Things I May Have Typed Into a Form Field at One Time or Another. This is really annoying. The operation needs to be done in a separate MP task, certainly. More importantly, a much better algorithm/data structure needs to be implemented to avoid such incredibly long waits. (This rant assumes, of course, that it’s this search through some history that’s causing the problem).
I'll post a solution here if I find one.

Scaled Composite’s SpaceShipOne beat the Ansari X-Prize requirement altitude by a scant 124.0568 meters today. Congratulations!
This is the beginning of an exciting time. I’m more and more convinced that it will be private enterprise that gets humans to Mars in my lifetime, because politicians are catering to too many special interests to be capable of doing things right.

I just woke up, a few minutes ago, from my first night’s sleep in my new apartment. There are moving boxes scattered everywhere, and I don’t look forward today to the task of getting them straightened out. Moreover, I’ve got to find a place to put the litter box, because I’m bringing my cat home today.
How exciting.

…rocked! What an absolutely fabulous (if a bit short) show! There were themed sets, Gwen in all her never-ending abdominal hotness, and cool people all around. Blink 182 did this nifty trick near the end of their set: the drummer rose up out of the middle of the crowd, on a rotating dais, playing a second drum set. He was about ten rows away from us, and soloed for ten minutes or more. It was awesome.
Around 11:45, when I finally got out of the $20 clusterfuck that the Shoreline Amphitheater calls “Premier Parking,” I decided that I was hungry and needed to get a little bit of food for the next few days in my new place. I ended up with $244 in basic necessities (cooking oil, eggs, butter, garbage bags, cereal, Pop Tarts, Chef Boy-ar-dee, etc.). Wow.
When I got home an hour later, I actually put it all away while chatting online with a friend two timezones later (what the hell she was doing awake is beyond me, but I’m not complaining). Finally, I had to unpack the box with all the pots & dishes in it, because I was really hungry by then.

Looks like my new DSL is working! I am very impressed. I ordered DSL through Sonic.net. They promised to have my DSL activated (via SBC) on June 21, although they hinted that it might be active earlier. Sure enough, while we were unloading the moving truck, I plugged in the DSL equipment (which had been delivered a few days before), and got a solid green light (solid green lights are good).
A gargantuan “thank you” goes out to my good fiends who toiled for hours to get all my stuff from the old place to the new: Danielle Cassley, Tantek Çelik, Bob Grosso, Mike Kobb and Russ Sanon. I could not have done this without them
