The MFA Art Deco exhibition was pretty cool. Cool enough that (1) I bought the book and (2) I want an Art Deco theme for my desktop. I may have to settle for an Art Deco application/WM font. ;)

Played very briefly with Alexandria tonight. Very nice, simple. I might play (code-wise) with getting it to [...]

Good day yesterday.

Tried to make CVS my bitch. Discovered that CVS is a bitch. Slight distinctions make all the difference. :/
Finally watched Red, after applying percussive maintenance to the DVD player. Beautiful.
Helped Krissa make a wonderful salmon patty dinner. Followed that up with the finale Red Sox celebration cake. Yummy. Was disturbed, however, to discover [...]

After some playing around, tinderbox now updates directly to ONGOING and as always the last completed build is in LATEST. I’m not sure these names convey quite what they are meant to, though- I’m open to suggestions.

It also now sends email to the build-status list at failure time, and only on modules which fail because [...]

If true, IBM exiting the PC business would not be good for us- I know they’ve mostly paid lip-service to the Linux kick the rest of the company has been on, but still, it’s a good thing to have them as a hardware vendor ‘in our corner.’ And I’d been so looking forward to an [...]

In my ongoing quest to screw up my sleep schedule, I’ve added very basic email capabilities to the microtinder. Hopefully we can develop a small team of build terriers to listen to the gnome-build-status list and nag more regularly and efficiently.

[And hopefully someone will resurrect snapshots...</plug>]

Spent a bit of time exploring arch/tla/baz today, mostly documentation. My idea (not at all close to implementation yet) is that a bugzilla arch mirror + arch’s star-merge could make merging bugzilla.gnome’s changes with upstream bugzilla changes much easier. Problem is that I need a working copy of cscvs to do the initial cvs->arch export. [...]

Nothing much of interest today. It’s possible I need to do more of that; I’m not feeling like I’m getting my head out of the game enough yet. Maybe less waking up early and more sleeping in and reading and being a total sloth.

Did a lot of small things- laundry, more cleaning. Made dinner, which [...]

There is a new Amazon Light. And there was much rejoicing.

Minor accomplishments today:

Bathtub actually drains now.
Bought stuff for dinner, and prepared chunks of it.
Threw together the beginnings of a Duke Planet- had no idea there were so many college basketball blogs. Now to find the good ones.
Did not completely succumb to my desire to lay down and sleep through my sinus pain.
Kitchen and bathroom slightly [...]
