Done the last 2 days (20110315 Tu - 16 We)

0315 Tu
  * up 7:35; W=198; drugs, nose, teeth, light; dishes, coffee
  ~ would be nice if we could use wap2 as the main router -- less draw =
    more uptime on power fail.  OTOH, can it be trusted now?
    -> swap with the switch next to Dorsai!
  * brisk but rather short walk; my calves were starting to hurt and it was
    starting to rain.
  * 6pm Avoid Avoiding

  * bed ~11:30
  * slept poorly.  Dreams included train trips, car trips with bonus mimes,
    carrying Flame in her gig bag down a long, steep cobblestone sidewalk
    toward what turned out to be an outdoor filk circle...

0316 We
  * up 7:45; W=196.6; drugs, nose, teeth; light; dishes, coffee, laundry

  * posted itinerary
  * pack.     * underwear  * TGl CDs  
    * sport coat and bolo tie (+dragon tie -- can't decide) for dinner out

A pretty good couple of days, though most of my time at work was taken up with helping set up the new coworkers who joined Monday and Wednesday, respectively. I did get a few things done on my own, though.

Back at home, I realized that I could swap the wifi access point with the switch that I keep next to my desktop machine. That will make the access point easier to work on in case it decides to go wonky again, and put it in a place where that wonkiness won't come between the router and the fileserver. Haven't done it yet, though; I need to track down some mounting hardware first. Stupid thing isn't designed to wall-mount.

Meanwhile, I suppose the most interesting thing that happened was that I actually noticed when a thank-you reply to a comment about grieving made me feel good. (It's probably kind of sad when an online note of thanks is the high point of my day, but it is a pretty major advance in my quest for self-knowledge.)

I had a good talk with Moira last night, and spent a fair amount of time packing.

I think the best link was to Miru Kim and her stunning series of self-portraits in a pig factory and in otherwise-deserted urban environments. There's also a video of how she works. Marginally NSFW. Also, a write-up by cflute of a show I really wish I could have gone to.
