Done yesterday (20111104 Fr)

Hmm. Not as good a day as its two predecessors, though the morning included a really good, useful meeting on the web-services side of $PROJECT. But that and the switch to cold weather made for too many excuses not to go out for a walk.

And I made progress toward setting up a transfer from my bank to my credit union, but didn't get started soon enough for it to count toward Bank Transfer Day (which is today). I tend to get down on myself about the obvious negative effects of procrastination, but of course by then it's too late to fix them.

One of the good parts was figuring out -- remembering, really -- one of the last bits of magic required to make ssh port tunneling work. Still having trouble with X forwarding, though; it worked fine with Lenny.

As for links, I was pleased to note that Occupy rigs up human-power after generators are confiscated

  $ HX:  $10 - purchased album download at CDBaby for TGl research
    used makefile hackery to reformat the filenames to match my standard
  * set up the practice and reference tracks under tg/Albums.  Move from
    where they are now, under record/2012/01, because that's for live
    recordings.  Track down everything in the set that isn't one of ours.

if the bank transfer

Is not meant to be an empty gesture, a couple weeks of delay won't make it meaningless. I have used the same credit union for 22 years now, having started originally as the only way to get direct deposit, but never having left because they still give me the best deal.

Alliance is a good one. If you need a second bank, I also recommend San Jose Credit Union - https://www.sjcu.org/ - which is where I bank now.

I've actually had Alliance for decades; I just wasn't using them at all.
