Summary: it was cloudy only during the eclipse. Other than that, there was only a thin veil of clouds before and after the eclipse.
Travis and I had fun chatting outside on his balcony though. (we were going to go hiking to see the eclipse from a nearby mountain hill, but I chose to cancel it when I saw how overcast it was.
I got a few pics tho
I tried posting all 24 solar eclipse pics at once and the posterous iphone app crashed. Okay, not good, but fair enough: out of memory and crashed. Fine; I get it.
But, before crashing, the app sends to posterous server, “hey I’m about to send you some data for Rob’s journal! Here it comes!” and then the app crashes and the server is like, okay I got it! And posts the empty entry.
Gah. Dear Posterous Server, if you don’t get the “I’m finished” and “please publish” signals, the post is not ready to post.
This is a snapshot from Star Walk app on Lin’s iPad.
22 hours to go!
This is what I can see so far of the solar eclipse. I’ll keep you posted!
Lin and I just sat on the couch together while watching High Fidelity, starring Jack Black and the Cusacks. (I love that they’re siblings.) I had always wanted to see it but hadn’t until tonight. She still hasn’t seen it due to her ability to sleep through movies on the couch with me.
I really liked it! John Cusack’s character, Rob had a similar transformation as me, Rob. Basically just realized that imaginary relationships, if manifested, would never be as good as the one we Robs have right now.
I had some quick and easy success with the first two cocos2d tutorials at http://www.raywenderlich.com/tutorials but now I’m having a hard time finding a clear tutorial on how to download a video from a remote server and play it on iPhone.
The searches seem to be polluted with videos about downloading apps, but that’s not what I want. Even stackoverflow seems to be relatively silent on this issue. sigh.
When I first started reading Peanuts cartoons, I pronounced “sigh” as “sig”
The surface of Tamagawa is two feet below the lower sidewalk on our side of the river.
Also a cart, a little unicycle, and a construction barrier!
