Current high score on the built in asteroids game on my mobile: 38825. Damn them for including that.

I fixed the problem with email notification for new comments (this was only a problem for registered users, I believe that unregistered email notification was working fine.) So now I get an email whenever someone leaves a comment here. Click the link in the emal and I'm looking at the new comment on my mobile (I think I'm going to call it a mobile since it's not really a phone.) So response times should be much improved.

In other news, I think t-mobile might regret giving me unlimited data. Mwahahahah.

Multiple police helicopters hovering over the east village. Im on a and 5th walking north trying to see what is going on.

Helicopter sweeps (very low) from just north of tompkins to up past 14th.

Ave a is closed northbound at 13th.

14th is closed east of a. Lots of people standing around. Lots of cops. Mounted units. A lady behind me says somebody got shot and they don't have the shooter yet.

That's bad but not so bad. With all those copters in that area I always worry about the huge con ed plant over there. Seems like a decent terrorist target. Of course I'm completely paranoid.

Fox is on the scene, so it's not like this is a scoop or anything. I'll see if any of the photos came out when I get home.

Well, the sidekick picture taking ability is limited. To say the least. The photos are low res and very small. But it's still kind of cool to have a camera with you where ever you go. The unit holds 32 pictures, but you don't really need to hold them because you can attach them to an email and send them to yourself. There doesn't seem to be a way to get uploading through a web form to work. So, of course, what we need is a script on the server side to watch a particular mailbox, and add any picture attachments arriving to the database so that I can include them in my posts. Shouldn't be too hard. Here's an article with the necessary MIME information about email attachments. Now I just have to make it work.
