Done yesterday (20090629)

  & aha: odd dream where Colleen was telling me in detail about how to make a
    fruit salad, but the details didn't make sense.  Makes more sense to tell
    someone in broad terms _what_ to do, and add details on request.
  * up 8:20ish; coffee; drugs, nose; C; teeth
  * drive the van to work so Colleen can go shopping with Marty
  * mail Kat's music books up for her birthday (0623)
    (my song book, Heather Alexander's song book, -Xenofilkia-)  
  * send Kat some $ for her birthday (0623)
  * noon- Call Marc to confirm or cancel Planets group
  & Colleen used the toilet in the back bathroom
  -> clear out the pepsi, put wipes on the stool.
  @ Copyfraud paper -- protecting the public domain.  Worth reading.
  & upgraded work desktop to Lenny.  Left it only partly usable.
  * 5:30p Planets group
  ~ banking: cash.
  * bed ~11pm.

I do NOT like this "getting enough sleep" business. I'm not getting enough done.

I rarely remember dreams; this one must have come in just as I was waking up. Colleen was trying to give me detailed directions on making a fruit salad, only the details didn't make sense, like putting aluminum foil on the stove and using it as a cutting board. Very weird. The more general insight I got out of it is that it's better to tell someone what needs to be done, and let them figure out how to do it, and ask questions if they get stuck.

The high point, really, was finding out that Colleen used the toilet in the back bathroom (which I'd installed grab rails on over the weekend) rather than the commode. Major win.

Link of the day is this paper on copyfraud -- claiming copyright over material in the public domain.

I upgraded my work desktop to Lenny, finally. When I left yesterday it was only semi-usable, but I would have missed an appointment if I'd stayed to fix the ssh host keys.

In work, quality > quantity. Lines of code != productivity. The same is true in general with life.
