Here’s how I spent my day: Showed up onsite. Friendly admin made a vmware image for me to use. This means that he basically created virtual machine, handed me the root password, and said “go nuts.” This makes these people the best install ever. Most of my RPMs didn’t work, but that’s okay. It’s why . . . → Read More: Geek stuff Good weekend. Yesterday, we went into Boston for the day. Bought a rug at the furniture outlet Crate n’ Barrel. God damn nice stuff is expensive. $250 for a 6′ by 9′ wool rug. Sheesh. It goes with the grown up furniture in the dining room though. Slowly but surely building sets of furniture that . . . → Read More: Adventure Day When I commute, my commute is a cast-iron pain in the butt. 30 minutes in the car, an hour on the train, half an hour on the subway. That’s one way. I did it today on the hypothesis that my lethargy in the afternoons has as much to do with being cooped up alone, indoors . . . → Read More: Hawk Bubba the lobster died in Pittsburgh recently. He was a 22 pound monster of his species, aged between 30 and 100 years. The picture shows him next to an ordinary 1.5 pound lobster. So, I haven’t been “wracked by disease” for a couple of days now. Temperature steady, able to move around and work, that sort of thing. However I’ve been prone to long naps in the afternoon. Like “oopsie, I just spent four hours face down on my keyboard” naps. I’m assuming this is still part of . . . → Read More: I want my strength back! Just checked in on the seedlings, and we have good growth in most of the pots. The Better Boy tomatoes were already big enough to move to the mid size plastic pots. Looks like I’ve got 10 decent candidates for survival, which would be way more than I need. Excellent. Forget Sleep-Eez: All praise DayQuil! . . . → Read More: Garden update This morning, my neighbor started snowblowing at about 6am. I was a little irritated at first, but quickly settled down to resigned. He seemed to go at it for a really long time. When we got up this morning, he had blown not only his driveway, but most of his front yard, and my driveway . . . → Read More: Snow An actual ad: Hands on Nude Bible Study group meets every other Tuesday at 8:30pm. Email me for directions. Must be over 21 All body types welcome. Come be one with us! Ummm, “hands on”? Very no. Still bouncing between no fever and about 100.5. Seems, oddly enough, to depend on whether or not I’m up to date on the drugs (Tylenol and Ibuprofin, alternated every couple of days) I’m using to control my fever. Odd. It’s almost enough to make me believe in science. The sinus congestion is getting better, and, . . . → Read More: Plague update 47 bottles of the imperial stout, with a terminal gravity of 1.015. That’s well within the measurement error of our goal gravity of 1.014. Go yeasts! I decided to re-rack the Barley wine, since it had a remarkable layer of sludge on the bottom of the carboy. I plan to leave it in the carboy . . . → Read More: Re rack. |
