Inspired by Seth’s christmas-y post, I went out and bought a Christmas tree.
A very tiny Christmas tree. The picture flatters it.
Otherwise, have bummed[1] around the house all day, harassing some people remotely about build breakages. Calum promptly fixed his; the nautilus-media one will take some more hashing out.
Had intended to be on IRC/IM, but restoring [...]
Spent the last week mostly doing that. Other stuff too, I suppose- wine tastings at the vineyards, beach, lots of food, chilling with Krissa’s family, etc., but mostly reading:
Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Interesting read on pseudo-rebels of a different time.
first book of the Hyperion pair. Plowed through the whole thing on the flight back. [...]
Almost surrealy, neither Ubuntu nor FC3 will install on my laptop without reformatting the drive, because somehow the partition table NLD put on my drive is not readable by either of them. I’m hoping there is some sane, pleasant reason for this, but at the moment I really want to throw my laptop against the [...]
In one of those ways in which the web is just pretty awesome, not one but two german planet readers emailed me to tell me that the word is not arschegeiger, but arschgeige. This would explain why I got like 10 google hits for arschegeiger and now 3720 for arschgeige. I think this is [...]
I’m going to California tomorrow morning, to spend a week sitting on Krissa’s dad’s deck, and drinking wine. And having no laptop. And after that, I’m taking the rest of the calendar year off from work- I’m totally burnt and need to take a whole bunch of deep breaths.
I plan to stay active in [...]
I have a new favorite word: arschegeiger.
That is all.
Anything that I may have said about oneness with any webapps was a lie. A total, utter, miserable lie.
Things that make me happy this evening:
I had a moment of clarity about the miserable web app I’ve had to use at work and should be able to blow through my remaining work in it, now that I have reached oneness with the UI.
after brief illness, Krissa appears much recovered. I’d worried about the fact [...]
Zucchi’s vfolder changes have gotten my evo from typically 440-460MB memory usage down to 387M. Yay.
Good three-day weekend on a number of fronts:
Went to Chicago; saw my brother, my dad, Trow, and a massive number of buildings, including several Frank Lloyd Wrights.
Didn’t take my laptop. Felt great.
Didn’t watch or read any news. Felt great.
Duke football won a game. Against a Div. 1 team.
Read Jeff Noon’s Nymphomation on the flight home. [...]
