Busy

Been fixing software since 7am this morning. Stupid jet lag. My software bites. I’m reverting to old version of PERL libraries, because the up to date ones break my stuff. Yeah, that’s going to be fun to explain to a customer.

Going to run an a cappella show on Sat for the same friend for whom I did this once before. His person who was supposed to run the show “melted down” on him, and he called to ask if I would show up and make sure things go smooth. Sure, I can do that. 1.5h south, 1.5h north. It’s closer than the last one.

Spent a while talking to phone support for Vonage about our little “the freakin’ VoIP router needs a reboot twice a day” problem. He advised that I should get a different brand of router. I said “so you’ll be sending me a router that works? I’ll send you back this one that doesn’t?” He was all like “no, the one you have is off warrantee.” What? They sent it to me (“free”), it doesn’t work right, so I get to go buy one that does work right? I considered yelling at him, but thought better of it. I like buying small electronics. Valhalla, I’ll be there later.

Ann Arbor in 1.5 weeks. Right now it looks like this:

Friday: Party with the a cappella kids.
Saturday (lunchtime and afternoon): Party with the LJ people including but not limited to simianpower
Saturday (dinnertime and evening): Drink wine with old a cappella friends
Sunday (morning): Breakfast at freaking ANGELO’s.
Sunday (dinnertime): Catch up with old friends from ERIM and their new kid.

That’s my plan. Off to buy electronics.
