The weekend so far
2004-02-08 10:33 amSo far it's been a relatively productive weekend, as such things go:
- Bought and installed new fluorescent lights for the back bathroom. The fixture wants 5w candelabra-base bulbs, and they don't seem to last nearly as long as they ought to.
- Bought a splice for the drip irrigation tubing I stupidly cut through a couple of weeks ago when I was pruning the roses. I'll install it this afternoon, maybe, after things warm up a little.
- Went to the Container Store to pick up the clip-on bookends that were back-ordered when I made my last purchase there last Saturday.
- Bought a small-footprint PC case I've had my eye on for a while. Not quite as easy to install as it should be, and I can't find the backplate for my little MB. But it'll be better than my first attempt at a home-built wooden box. In particular it will be lighter.
- Bought tax software (TaxCut).
- Bought boxed set of three Dorothy Sayers DVD's (the ones with Harriet Vane) as a Valentine's present for the
flower_cat. Very romantic. She's watching Gaudy Night now. - Installed Gallery on gc.thestarport.org, mainly for the
chaoswolf. Complicated by the fact that the version that ships with Debian stable is rather old, and I wanted some of the newer features. Then had to work around stylesheet formatting stupidities that don't work with my default browser settings. But it seems to be working now. Not as versatile as I expected: doesn't handle virtual hosts well, or let users maintain their own separate galleries. (Or maybe I just haven't figured it out yet). - Ran my usual weekly backups.
