Done yesterday (20111126 Sa)

Another calm but unproductive day, I'm afraid. A fair amount of puttering around the house. I finally tracked down the WiFi dropouts on Cygnus to incompatibility between 802.11N and G -- mixed networks basically don't work. So I turned off N on the WAP, and everything's cool now.

I also re-strung one of the living room ethernet cables with Cat-5e, enabling a gigabit hardwired (almost typed hardweird) connection. SPEED! I love it.

Went for a drive with Colleen, all the way down to Gilroy. Picked up dinner from Famous Dave's BBQ, which has been recommended. For good reason -- it was excellent. Still is; we had a lot of leftovers because we couldn't wake up the YD. Her sleep schedule has been pretty weird lately.

Just realized I forgot to post a Songs for Saturday yesterday. Here's one: Cat Faber's "Axial Tilt" (the real reason for the season).

1126 Sa
  * up 7am; W=194.4; drugs, nose, teeth, dishes, exercise, light
  @ The shocking truth about the crackdown on Occupy 
  : rebooting the WAP hasn't helped; will try turning off N
    meanwhile, the ethernet seems to work even over CAT-5.
  * 15min:  dishes.  Actually pots, carving board.  Laundry.
  * turn off N mode on the WAP.  See whether that fixes the dropouts.
    So far, so good.  I'll take it.  Yup.  I'm guessing that N has dropouts
    when G is using the channel.  :(, but it's good to know.  Hmm.  one
    dropout so far, but a short one.  Growf.
  @ The Open Source Culture of the Flame Algorithm - YouTube +Alan Ralph
  * string new net cable (CAT-5e or CAT-6) to LR
  * drive: down to Gilroy, back Monterey Hwy.
    Famous Dave's barbecue for dinner.  Yum!
  @ “Lack of motivation” is a generally misunderstood symptom of depression. 
  * new cable terminated and tested.  Works.
  @ catsittingstill | Axial Tilt (is the _real_ reason for the season)
  ! sadness thinking about Tempered Glass.  It's broken now.
    Somewhere this am N. said that she'd been to a Tracy Grammer concert last
    night, and TGl's version of Gentle Arms of Eden was better.  
  : Colleen says she was constipated this week.  First time in 5 years. 
  * bath ~11:40; bed ~12:20

Couldn't wake her up because she has no intention of facing reality or couldn't wake her up because she just chooses the worst times to go to bed?

Some of both, I expect. Her sleep schedule has been very weird of late.
