so.
bright idea: data transfer from three-year-old macbook to brand new macbook pro.
firewire won't work since the port changed.
so: wifi!
started the ~160 gig transfer saturday morning around 1030am. finished sometime wednesday evening, before I came home at 11pm.
nice.

Since I don't really rock the LJ anymore, am still skeptical of Facebook, and really don't use social networks very much, I suppose there are some people who may not know the news contained below.
( Full size 645.31 kb, 2832x2128Collapse )
expected sometime around September 12-14.

So in the last few days I have gotten please from the ACLU, MoveOn, and now Senator Charles Schumer (via MoveOn), telling me I should protest Facebook or something.
I guess they changed their privacy settings without telling anyone or something?
And it is a big deal?
Not a Facebook user, so I don't really know from personal experience, but is this Actually A Big Deal, or just an example of the liberal-bias newsletters/sites I read trying to make me think it is?

Looks like AVClub has hit upon another clever series - THEN that's what they called music! ... a new series re-examining pop music via the Now series. First article is here. Should be good stuff.

In case you hadn't seen them yet, I wanted to direct you to photographs from my wedding to Marina. The professional shots of our wedding day can be found here, taken by Moscow-based photographer Elena Artemova.
A second set of photos, found here contains photographs of our wedding day as taken by my sister Katie as well as Marina's aunt Galina. There are also photos from our honeymoon to Hawaii, and the very end of the set has a professional set of photos taken by Charles West.
If you just want to see my shots from our honeymoon, you can head here.

honeymoon/etc.
sorry for not having more photos where we're the center of attention, but that is what every other camera on earth is for.

I should mention that wedding photos have started to pop up online: my brother has posted some pictures in his vacation photos, and his girlfriend did the same. So feel free to check out Scott and Aubrey's vacation while you're really looking for me and Marina.

Sorry to have posted this before wedding pictures, but I didn't take any...if you've got some, feel free to throw 'em up in the comments.
In the meantime, we're on honeymoon.

Just broke out Blue Meanies' Kiss Your Ass Goodbye for the first time in what seems like a decade, but is more likely the first time in eight years. Close enough. Wanted to hear that "it'll all work out" song. That one and the other couple I remember liking are still pretty awesome, taking me back to high school when all you needed was some loud ska-punk and you were alright. Funny how times change. Still haven't decided whether I should rip it and listen to it online...I mean, what would people think if my last.fm page got cluttered with the Meanies? (sarcasm).
In other news, my relatives arrive later today, which means that my wedding is most definitely happening on Saturday and holy shit is that soon and wow.
YEHAA!

So, a company called Swisscom is the monopolist wifi operator at my hotel. I signed up, paid them 70GBP for a week of internet access, and they cut me off without warning, because I had "too many connections open".
I assume they are referring to bittorrent, but whatever.
I resolve the situation by a phone call to them, after the hotel had already made a call. Swisscom told me that other guests had complained about bandwidth being slow (hmm, if that was the case, why did the hotel seem surprised to hear Swisscom's reason for the block?).
Ultimately, the best they could offer me -- not even an apology, but merely a veiled admittance that they should have contacted me before cutting me off -- was to cancel my weeklong package and refund me the whole thing. Which would've then left me paying 18GBP per day til the end of the week. And yes, now that I think about it, I should've gotten 70GBP refunded and paid them 54GBP til Saturday.
Fuckers. Charging for a week way more than my DSL charges me in a month, and for *less*.
At least I made it to the Thermals gig last night in time to hear "A Pillar of Salt".

Enjoying my typical London dinner for one (actually, post-actual dinner for one...a scumbag's dessert, or...?): a 255g bag of Tangy Cheese Doritos and a 4-pack of 440ml cans of beer, this time Carlsberg.
Lilfe is sweet.
