Refenestration Daily.
Sorry about the lack of updates recently. Starting Friday, both my cable-tv and broadband went down. The connection? They're both “AT&T Broadband” (bleh). In any case, they’ve fixed it now.
Incidentally, this is the same reason behind Lojjic’s downtime as well.
The Dow dropped 165 points today to 7945, hitting a three-month low (again).
Wall Street took no comfort from news that gross domestic product in the fourth quarter grew at a measly 0.7 percent rate, a number that was lower than the market’s modest expectations of a 0.9 percent advance. Separately, some 397,000 people filed for the first time last week to get unemployment benefits, 12,000 more than economists had expected and dangerously close to the 400,000 level that indicates a weakening labor market. […]
At first, I was a bit confused about the 400,000 threshold for “a weakening labor market”. However, I suppose that’s just an indicator with a generally accepted crossing-point.
Last week, I wrote about how running spellcheck could crash recent builds of Mozilla. However, that’s now fixed and there’re updated spellchecker builds that play nicely with the nightly builds and 1.3 release candidates.
I saw a teaser commercial for The Pulse which airs today (that is, Thursday) at 9/8c on Fox. I believe the headlining story is about Joe Millionaire (which is a fun show in its own right), but I’m not interested in the hype surrounding it.
However, The Pulse will also include a segment comparing various diets such as Atkins and The Zone. I’m interested to hear what they have to say, as I’m eating similarly to The Zone.
My parents are coming to visit next weekend, and I thought I’d take them to a Mexican restaurant one evening. If you have one to recommend, I’d be interested in hearing about it.
Last time they visited, we went to El Fenix and we really enjoyed their food. Something along those lines (hopefully with free parking) would be great.
