I Stood Up
I've been reminded that I haven't updated for a while, and to my
critics I would say, How vain it
is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.
Last weekend I:
- Had dinner with Barbara, Tim, and Brian; and with Jeff, Ingrid and Shannon.
- Rode my bicycle to the Old Cheney Farmers' Market.
- Turned off Beryl. Some of the effects are neat, even useful, but mostly it slows me down. The basic window manager features need more work. (It might be better if I spent more time with the configuration manager, and installed it on all the linux machines I use, but that's not happenin'.)
- Helped unload the truck at the Flying Zucchinis food delivery, then waited while Barbara examined a burned out house, maybe because she wants to buy it, I was warned by another member of the zukes.
- Went through the agenda for Wednesday's Planning Commission Meeting
- Helped Barbara prepare our herb garden bed.
- Tried to troubleshoot a network problem that turned out to be upstream.
- Ate lots of asparagus.
- Made a couple of nice dinners with Barbara.
- Went to a house warming for some new neighbors.
Last weekend I did not:
- Work on the kitchen. (It crossed my mind though.)
- Spend time with Caitie. (She had a dance workshop.)
- Work on Atalib, the user script to add WorldCat search results to Amazon pages. (It's 80% done.)
- Write a single line of LISP. (Other software projects I didn't work on have higher priority.)
- Practice aikido or HNIR. (I hear the aikido group is no longer practicing at the aikido group and Sho Rei Shobu Kan honbu.)
- Clean and lube the chain on my bicycle, rewrap my bars, or install my new computer. (I'm too busy riding.)
- Do anything with the two Apple iBooks on which I'm installing Ubuntu for Barbara and Caitlin. (Feisty or Dapper? Need to get more memory.)
