mdlbear0125 Mo * up 6:30; W=200.2; drugs, nose, teeth @ The Way the Future Blogs, an online memoir by science fiction writer Frederik Pohl (fromtechnoshaman - Old skool blogging * puttering: dishes, kitchen island, green slab; laundry * progress at work on $project, in time for $boss's monthly report * Musician's Friend order (swirligigs and cup holders) arrived * a quick walk around the building before going home @ Andrew M. Odlyzko (finished Collective hallucinations and inefficient markets: The British Railway Mania of the 1840s) & fail at teaching YD to waltz. I can just barely do it myself. =*pay sales tax. ($4. Painless.) x buy: laundry detergent for trip (?) (only available in 7# boxes, so get it there and pass it on) I'd package it in bags, but white powder in plastic bags on a plane... % aha: it's not even "comfort" eating; just my default activity when bored * put {steve,colleen}@thestarport.org into .fetchmailrc for DH & moved .fetchmailrc into Secret because it contains plaintext passwords
A good day: lots of progress at work, getting my part of $project to a demoable (albeit incomplete) state in time to get into $boss's monthly report. Also, I paid my sales tax (all $4 of it); the online form does all the calculations, so it's reasonably painless.
My order from Musician's Friend -- mostly cupholders of various sorts -- arrived in mid-afternoon, so that was good, too.
Colleen determined that Arm & Hammer laundry detergent is not available in quantities small enough to pack with us, so we'll have to buy some when we get up to Seattle. I thought briefly about putting some in plastic bags. Plastic bags full of unlabeled white powder in my luggage. Right. It would have been a great idea 20 years ago.
In the evening I finally finished Andrew M. Odlyzko's book on the British railroad mania of 1845. I'm looking forward to the sequel, where he compares it with other bubbles, including the recent ones.
I also did a fair amount of puttering/cleaning in the kitchen, and (finally!) got some work done toward moving thestarport.org off of rahul.net and onto dreamhost.com. At this point all that remains is pulling the big switch on the DNS, and scaling back my presence on rahul. I hate doing anything drastic like that even when it's perfectly safe and makes total economic sense. I'm slowly learning to live a little out of my comfort zone, but it's still really hard.
We're flying up to SeaTac Thursday evening for Conflikt!!
