I have an Airport Express with airtunes. It's a wireless router, that has an audio connection that you can use to stream audio from iTunes to your stereo. Unfortunately the way it's designed you can only use iTunes to send music to the Airport Express.
I've been trying for a while to figure out a way to stream RealAudio to the Airport, so that I can listen to KVRX during the day when they only broadcast over the net. Airfoil is an app I found today that will let you broadcast audio from any application on your Mac to your Airport. If you have an Airport Express, it opens up a lot more options for what you can stream to your stereo.

Looking for a new job
The lease for Verio's Austin office space is finally up October 31st. Upper management has decided to close the office and has given everyone who works here until the 31st to find a new job. Some people may have the option to stay with Verio and work from home after the 31st, but I don't think anyone is willing to give up their severance package to do that.
I posted my resume on Dice last week to see if I'd get much interest. I'm willing to relocate to another city because I'm not sure how many jobs there are in Austin for J2EE developers who have specialization in BEA WebLogic app servers. Since I'm willing to relocate, I've received a lot of interest from cities in the NYC, VA, NJ and LA areas. I believe that head hunters like to look for people from cities with a low cost of living and transplant them with minimal salary increases to cities with higher costs of living. It can be very difficult to determine an equivalent salary in different metropolitan area fortunately I discovered this salary calculator to give me a hand.
Salary.com's calculator may be better than the previous one. I evaluates salary ranges for a give position in different metro areas.

Smoking Ordinance
The smoking ordinance goes into effect this Thursday. The ordinance restricts smoking within 15 feet of the door. I'm curious to see how that's going to work on 6th st. and Red River when the bars are stacked one on top of the other. Will there be yellow lines drawn on the sidewalk indicating that it's safe to smoke after that point?
Interestingly, there are some place left where you can still drink and smoke in Austin after the ordinance goes into effect. Here's the list:
The current city smoking ordinance permits smoking in bars and some restaurants. The smoking ban that will go into effect on Thursday restricts smoking to bingo halls, fraternal organizations and only this handful of Austin restaurants that have special filtration systems:
IHOP No. 1421, 707 E. Cesar Chavez St.
Trudy's, 8820 Burnet Road
Bennigan's, 13995 U.S. 183 North
Cool River, 4001 West Parmer Lane
Hooters, 13701 U.S. 183 North
Shoal Creek Saloon, 909 N. Lamar Blvd.
Trudy's, 4141 Capital of Texas Highway (Loop 360)
Iron Cactus, 10001 Stonelake Blvd.
Guess I'll be seeing everyon at Shoal Creek Saloon! :)

Living in small spaces
About a year ago I started becoming interested in living in smaller spaces. My current little 1/1 is a test to this interest ;-). I think the typical trade off of living in a smaller space is sacrificing living area to be in a more livable area. It's a way to live in or near downtown, a way to stay out of the suburbs with their commute, chain restaurants, strip malls and tiny tree in the front yard slightly off center.
Living in a smaller space does require a shift. Any pack rat tendencies need to be addressed. For me the great part is purging crap that I've moved around for years and rarely used. When you're pressed for space the decision becomes easier on whether to keep that sweater you've worn once in the last 4 years. Also, it requires creativity when figuring out where things go, and how to optimize the little space you have to work with.
Here's a fun article from the statesman on the art of small living. I loved the pictures of some creative space saving solutions.
I like my tiny house. I like figuring out how to make what I have work better in the little space that I have. I like it much better than living in a place that's much bigger than I need and trying to fill the space to make it feel lived in.

Secret UK Memo on Iraq
A memo from July 23, 2002 detailing the US plans to invade Iraq has been published on several UK sites. Some highlights:
"The Defence Secretary said that the US had already begun "spikes of activity" to put pressure on the regime. No decisions had been taken, but he thought the most likely timing in US minds for military action to begin was January, with the timeline beginning 30 days before the US Congressional elections."
Hmmm, could the war in Iraq have been politically motivated, designed to stir up wartime patriotic passions right before the election in hope of winning a few more congressional seats?
The main point that jumps out, is that there was a very weak case for war against Iraq and that the Bush administration was left with a plan of trying to provoke Saddam in order to mobilize against Iraq.
Nothing really new here, just nice getting that reinforcement in knowing that I was right all along.

SXSW Followup II
I went over the bands I'd tagged "must see" a couple days ago. The following is a list of shows I had resonably high expectations for that fell flat.
* Echo Base Soundsystem - I had such high hopes for these guys after being the drummer's neighbor for a couple months last year. It was wall-to-wall white boy dreads. For future reference this is not a sign that the show is going to be great. The group of us left soon after I detected "noodling".
* Twinemen - The two other guys from Morphine were in this band. They were so entertaining, I spent most of the show watching some guy sleep through all the racket and talking to some french dude about cheese.
* Fatboy Slim - He DJ'd the whole set, not playing any of his music. The show had a rave feel to it, but it was outside at Stubbs and there weren't any drugs.
* Aqualung - These guys weren't on my list, but I had to endure them in order to see Bloc Party a show later. Not good. Surrounded by old people making out. Snuck off to a corner and listened to my ipod.
* Bleach 03 - Josh and I kicked things off the day before SXSW by going to Bleach 03's CD release party. This 3 piece comprised of cute little japanese girls fucking blew me away. Easily the hardest METAL show I saw the whole week. They were so good we decide to see their showcase at the whisky bar. The whisky bar doesn't have a stage so these cute little japanese girls are set up on the floor, surrounded by wall of guys 6'3" and taller. The only way to see anything was to look at the view screen on a camcorder held by a guy standing on a bar stool.

Dallas vs Houston
Dallas plays Houston in the first round of the NBA playoffs that begin this weekend and I think Dallas is going to win. Even though they lost the last two games during the regular season to the Rockets, both losses were before Avery Johnson took over as coach.
The last game they played on March 6th Dallas lost 90 - 69. Dallas was missing Nowitzki, Finley and Dampier.
The game on January 12 Dallas lost 124 - 114. Dallas was missing Josh Howard and Marquis Daniels. McGrady had a big game, and I'm sure Howard would have slowed him down some. Plus Nelson was coaching and only gave Dampier 19 minutes.
The big issue for Houston will be that Juwan Howard is out for the rest of the season. He played Nowitzki pretty well defensively and had enough offensive game to keep Dirk honest on defense. Houston doesn't have anyone who is going to be able to keep up with Dirk or Van Horn.
At center, I think that Dampier, Bradley and Henderson will be fine against Ming.
At point guard, Bobby Sura is a legitimate triple double threat. Jason Terry and Devin Harris are extremely quick and play great defense. I'm not sure who has the advantage here.
Shooting guard, Wesley and Barry for Houston, Finley, Stackhouse and Daniels for Dallas. Big advantage for Dallas.
Small forward - McGrady vs. Howard. Howard should guard McGrady as well as anyone can. But Tracy will still have big games.
Dallas has so much more size than Houston and that they should own the paint, as long as they can stop Houstons 3 point shooting, I think they have a great chance of advancing to the next round of the playoffs.

SXSW Followup
I think I've finally recovered from South by Southwest. Out of the must see bands from my last post, I was able to check out:
* The Octopus Project - Local band, these guys/gal are great, will see again and again.
* Mono - Instrumental band out of Japan, think wall of sound/sonic landscapes, beautiful.
* Holy Fuck - Crazy ass band out of Toronto. Very experimental. Loved every second of it. Donated a glow stick to the main sound creator so he could read his tiny little casio.
* LCD Sound System - Line was around the block for hours before the show. M.I.A played 2 hours before them, there was now way to get into that show.
* The Kills - Saw them at a day show at the Red Eye Fly. Think "What would happen if Peter Murphy and Siouxsie Sioux decided to form a two piece band". The best show of SXSW.
* Viva K - Not a very strong show. The band was good but vocal were lacking.
* Bloc Party - Ended up seeing these guys 3 times. All three shows were really good, I like the last show at the Vice Party best, probably because of the free Sparks. I can see myself being really annoyed by them 6 months from now, but today I'm hooked.
* Calexico - I've seen the a couple times before and the shows ranked up there with some of the best I've ever seen. But the day show at Emos was weak. They were having sound problems and lacked the energy I've come to expect.

Coachella Festival
Just as I'm starting to get excited about the 2005 South by Southwest, I come across this Coachella Valley Music Festival. It's like they're cherry picking from my high school tape collection with the likes of: Bauhaus, Gang of Four, New Order, Cocteau Twins, Mercury Rev and Nine Inch Nails. Then they throw in some newer favorites like: Pinback, Arcade Fire, M83, Four Tet, Chemical Brothers, Snow Patrol, Weezer and Prodigy.
Anyone feel like a California road trip at the end of April?

Dates in MS SQL Server
Coming from Oracle, dates give me all kinds of trouble in MS SQL Server. Thing just don't work the way I want them too. Fortunately, Gary Larson has a really nice overview on how to work with dates in SQL Server.
