The past several nights have been foggy, with some evenings quite heavy. This morning I happened to wake up at 4:30, and saw that the fog was thick. Despite being near-freezing, I couldn't help myself to get out there and take a bunch of photos. Same thing happened last Saturday, too.
And now, for something completely different: PeerGuardian2. If you haven't heard of it, it's a piece of software that blocks certain IPs that like to snoop in on what you're doing. This is especially true of torrents. A lot of IPs from China do a lot of snooping on torrents, and of course the copyright enforcers, too (Media Sentry, etc). If you don't want those Chinese snooping to your activities, you definitely need PeerGuardian2.
And we're back. Even though there was heavy fog this morning, it had nearly all burned off in downtown Portland by around 10:00 am. At noon, it's looking sweet outside. Why just a few weeks ago we had freezing temps followed by days of rain. Now we're getting lots of clearing, sun, and lower-50's temps. Strange weather.
Mid-week update: Finished my resume the other night. It's super beautiful. I redid it from scratch, in InDesign. Took me a while, as I just got my CS4, and hadn't played around with InDesign since...eons. I had to update my resume, mostly because my last version was in Freehand, which is no longer supported or sold by Adobe (prev. Macromedia). I wasn't planning on working on my resume, but then I figured I should do it now so that I don't need to rush it if I ever needed it.
Stock market thoughts: It should be lower. There is irrational optimism in the current price, even if it's dropped 12% in the past week or so. It really should be hovering within the 7000-7800 mark, in my opinion, given the depth and scope of the current economy. The most laughable things I read about these days, are technical analysis of the market. Technical analysis doesn't take into account the most basic of fundamental problems with math: human emotions.
