Yesterday was very calm and restful, but I ended up feeling rather disappointed with myself for having gotten so little done yesterday and Friday.

We blew off a block party two streets East because Colleen wasn't up for going out in the heat, and I wasn't up for making a salad for the potluck. I did go for a walk in the neighborhood later in the afternoon, taking a perverse pleasure in discovering that we weren't the only house with weeds and grass growing between the stones of our front-yard rock garden.

I also called pocketnaomi - she'd invited me to do so, just as I was heading out for walkies, but it's still unusual enough for me to call anyone that it's worth noting.

I did all the cooking; the beef paprikash came out particularly well. 3tsp sweet paprika, 1tsp hot, an onion, and half a bottle of red wine with about 1.5 pounds of beef boneless short ribs. Yum.

Got a little work done on steve.savitzky.net, adding a top-level style sheet that sets the background color to match the background in my Kelly Freas portrait -- basically a sort of very light brown. Lower-level pages still need the style link, and a lot of Makefiles still need fixing. But it's a tiny bit of progress in a time when doing anything beyond mere survival seems to be more than I can manage.

While puttering around in the office (mostly staring at things and not getting anything much done) I ran across my very first Logitech mouse -- it's roughly as old as Chaoswolf, and has a 25-pin serial-port connector. I'm saving it for nostalgic reasons, but decided there was no reason to keep the rest of the serial-port mice. Then I ran across a picture of a rather young Chaos with Colleen's mom, taken on a San Francisco Bay tour boat probably somewhere between 1992 and 1996. I started getting all sad and nostalgic, and tottered off to bed a little after midnight to collect some badly-needed snuggle.

Y'r homepage has

New Band! Tempered Glass. (My other band is Tres Gique. ...)

with "Gique" in [code]. Is that intentional? Am I missing something?

[mdlbear]

That's intentional -- we're all geeks of one kind or another.

But I needed to fix it on the TGq website. Done now.
