  x Can't get YD's Windows 7 box to talk to any of my printers.  No love.
  ~ Moved YD's box to the main subnet; can see the Workforce 600 (network
    printer) but not the CUPS servers.  Still can't connect to nova.
    ! discouraged, depressed, stressed
  * midnight: Pegasus nominations due
  * hooked the Artisan 50 printer up to Algol, cleaned heads on the WF600.
    Still having some problems, and out of ink in 3 carts.

A mostly good day -- I'll get to the bad parts later. But I started the day in what appeared to be a solidly "good" mood, a little over three weeks after ending my experiment with a reduced dose of SSRI. We had bagels and lox for brunch, and I bought a djembe and a seedpod rattle at a garage sale down the street. Colleen and I went out for a nice drive, to Santa Cruz via Highway 9, and back via 17.

Now the bad parts. When I went out for bagels I discovered that someone had "broken" into my car (in quotes because I have been very lax about locking it) and gone through my glove compartment. It was pretty obvious, because the gloves were on the floor. Fortunately I don't keep anything valuable there, but I felt annoyed and a little bit violated nonetheless.

The annoyance of the evening was trying to get the YD's computer to print. I finally managed, by switching her to the "other" subnet where she could see the networked all-in-one. I think I need to abandon the idea of having a separate subnet for Windows; it causes more problems than it solves. Whether to keep it for guest machines is an open question; probably a good idea.

But there was a lot of friction over that, and the fact that she now wants her own printer. She wants an all-in-one; I'd really rather she got a plain printer. We may split the cost. In any case, I ended the day stressed, depressed, and frustrated. Ugh.

Plenty of links in the notes. Mostly distressing news. :(

... and LJ is being a flake, and still isn't accepting my posts. GROWF!

Ugghh! Sorry about the car but glad there wasn't anything valuable taken. I would feel violated too!

I haven't tried to post to my journal but have been lucky enough to be able to successfully make comments, which I couldn't do yesterday. You're not the first person I've seen saying they can't yet though!
