Bits of This Week and Last
ITA's company dinner cruise was nice and relaxing.
The vegetarian tasting menu at Oleana is amazing.
The movie Primer is amazing if you love time travel stories and being confused. Which I do, apparently.
Ames is still awesome.
My first batch of beer (which I'm helping ODan and EHawk make) seems promising, and is now in bottles. Will be carbonated and done in two weeks or so.
We might have a new housemate for the end of the month, fingers crossed.
Bouldering after a few weeks off is a pain (specifically, in the hands), but I was able to pull myself up a v0 (and almost a v1) after much effort.
A non-crackpot published a paper allegedly proving P!=NP. It's interesting, but still probably not correct.
Don't know what's up with this story, about Google being in back-room anti-net-neutrality talks with Verizon. What the hell, Google? I hope they're up to something clever...
Ted Stevens is feared dead in a plane crash. If it's any comfort, he died doing what he loved.
Bank of America inadvertently charged me for someone else's check. I talked to online support, who told me to call check fraud (not 24/7), who (after determining the cause of the error) referred me to standard customer service, who pushed the issue to their error resolution department and told me to wait two days. It's a good thing the check didn't bounce (and that I had enough to not inadvertently overdraw on something else as a result). Still, I feel like the money should be restored to my account as soon as the error is confirmed, I shouldn't have to wait while they sort the rest of it out.

Also, BofA has horrendous service because of these things. Though, in the past, when there are errors, people still don't get their money back, just in case fraud is involved.
