week recap

well last weekend, Sunday Oct 22nd, i saw the bouncing souls play at first ave. they played a pretty good show. however i was a little disappointed, they still haven't played my favorite song neurotic. i stayed after the show and told the lead singer, lance i think, i wish he would have played it and that i loved the band. so hopefully next time he comes to town, minneapolis, he will play my favorite bouncing souls song neurotic.

this weekend was kinda a bust. well on thrusday i closed down nye's, so needless to say friday was an early night. and saturday was joe's halloween party, which was fun, but not a lot of people showed. i dressed up and the flying spaghetti monster, it took me all day to make, hehe. the night only got worse since i had to go into work for the day light saving time switch. so right now i'm kinda tired, but hopefully i'll be fun to with my sushi date megan.

mark farina weekend

this weekend was kind of a blur. especially sunday, as most of the day was spend in bed recovering. it is kind of fun to think back to the previous night and try think about how drunk you were before you went to sleep and if you should have drove home or not... i don't think i was that drunk.

back to saturday. i got a lot done on the download security of relay, my mobile application. saturday night i walked around southdale and bought some clothes. i got a basic gray polo at j. crew. i will note that there was a cute girl working there. i wil have to make my return. and at banana republic i bought casual collared shirt. before i bought it i noticed it said slim fit. when i got home the shirt was a little tight arund the chest, so i'll have to return it. too bad it was a cool pattern. later that night i went and saw mark farina. he was sounding pretty good, but i wasn't in the mood. my head kinda hurt. i think the baristas at dunn brothers are getting weak on me. aka. giving me decaf... because i don't tip a dollar every time... i say this because my headache felt like a caffeine withdrawal headache. it isn't like they make great cappuccinos... i think tipping people who you only have brief interactions with is questionable. in the same breathe i'll mention i was a valet for three years.

friday was fun. we went to williams and played darts, which i suck at. it is funny i need to make sure i drink some before i start playing, otherwise i'm too conscious on how i hold the dart.

one liners

here is the first one liner i have ever written. it will find the process id of itunes and show you all the mp3s it currently has open. very useful if you like to share you music on the network, but get mad when people start raping your music library. so if you run this command three times and it appears like the user has listened to three different songs in a couple seconds; this probably means someone is downloading your music library. i also use menu meters, so i can see my bandwidth skyrocket.

ps -A | grep -e iTunes | awk '{ system("lsof -p " $1); }' | grep -e mp3

here is the zsh alias, kind of a pain to figure out how to nest the single quotes.

alias it='ps -A | grep -e iTunes | awk '"'"'{ system("lsof -p " $1); }'"'"' | grep -e mp3'

beer

autumn beer festival should be on everyones calendar for next year. it looks like they have a winter festival, so i'll probably hit that up. it is pretty sweet, they give you a four ounce glass and you can fill it up till you are retarded.
