Mutual Agreement Thanks to fax machines and cellphones we are now in a signed mutual agreement with the seller. Assuming that no major problems are found during the forthcoming professional inspection, we will be the proud owners of a new condo in 7 days. Yay Us! [@168]
Real Estate Sorry for the very late linkblog update today. What an hectic day… We met with our Real Estate Agents yesterday afternoon, and spent the rest of the evening sifting through listings. Early this morning our agents arranged for us to visit a couple condos we were potentially interested in. The first one, a two bedrooms located in a gated community in Everett was indeed of interest. The second, in SeaTac, wasn't. Right after lunch we decided to make an offer. We just heard back from our agent with a counter offer. The fun begins!

Caught! The Bellevue police has arrested two kids they think are responsible for the recent arson spree. They both live in the apartment complex aside from us.

XPC Rocks! The Shuttle XPC finally arrived. Well, we had to go pick it up in Auburn, yesterday. FedEx Ground kept on trying to deliver it on the wrong side of the street. Wow… This thing is so tiny. When they say the size of shoe box, they mean it. I probably won't set it up until the weekend, but I couldn't resist trying it out. It booted up without a hitch, so I'm assuming everything's A-OK. I'm definitely going to have to get a copy of the 64bit version of XP… [@857]
Fire! There has been a string of arsons in our neighborhood. Yesterday, it hit very close to home. Someone set a trash bin on fire about 15 feet from our building. The press was camped out it front of the building most of day, yesterday. Our neighborhood is going down the drain, fast. We also talked with a neighbor who told us they got jumped by a couple of drug addicts a few weeks back. In the parking lot, early morning, on their way to work. That's it. We're getting a new place. We've been thinking about it for a while anyway. I'm going to get in touch with some real estate people next week and start looking for a new condo. We should able to find something pretty quick. I'm also still planning on taking a trip to Barcelona at the end next month to find/buy a house. I have to wait for my mom to get back from vacation in Tunisia. I wouldn't think of buying anything in Europe without her. She's the real estate expert in the family.

LifeBlogger 0.2

I've just released LifeBlogger 0.2 which now supports the Textamerica API.

I've also added support for posts titles when using the MetaWeblog API.

As usual the source is on the CVS server.

800 != 650 Apparently the Jabra BT800 Bluetooth headset is not fully compatible with the Treo 650. The issues are currently being researched and there is no timeline for a solution at this time. Thanks Imshea for the report. Moblog API Textamerica has introduced a new XML-RPC-based API. Darla has been pestering me about it. I told her I'd check it out to see if I could incorporate it in LifeBlogger. The API is very similar to, yet incompatible with, the MetaWeblog API. Why they decided to create a non-standard API, is beyond me. This is really not rocket science. Introducing yet another variation is a recipe for disaster. I think Flickr had the right idea when they implemented the Atom API for Lifeblog.
