Done yesterday (20111227 Tu)

[mdlbear]

A quiet day. Not productive, but I had a very nice 3-mile walk, so that's ok. And went out for sushi -- I'd forgotten how expensive it is for four hungry people to have sushi, but it was well worth it. As always.

More on the "dumb bear" side, I rebooted the fileserver, forgetting that I'd moved DHCP to it after discovering that the router doesn't stay up very long in a power outage. Need to set up a secondary server somewhere. Or maybe move it to the WAP.

Ah, well. I now have another book recommendation to chase down: The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World by Marti Olsen Laney. If that's not your thing, how about this "Gamer Girl Manifesto"?

  * Hmm.  My ff profile has a different default for my gmail addy.  That's
    good, but means that I should keep using chrome as well if I want G+.  OK,
    I can handle that.  Back to keeping two browsers open.

    % *lovely* day for a walk.  No obvious scrim -- details very sharp.  A
      girl going the other way said a cheerful "good morning".  Felt good.
  * bought strings and a lightweight folding guitar stand at Showcase.

  * Rebooted nova.  Forgot that nova runs the DHCP server now, so networking
    was badly broken.  Wired, too, until I set up a static interface.
    Wouldn't have been so bad except for the time it takes to fsck a terabyte

  * out for sushi with both kids.  Gets expensive that way, but Yum!

So funny. I was skimming that book two nights ago at the bookstore, while looking for a book you recommended 9 months ago on LJ (the highly sensitive person)!

I checked out The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World from the public library and was not much impressed. I couldn't help but think, after reading a couple of chapters, that any introvert "advantage"--introverts make loyal friends, introverts are willing to do work that extroverts find dull--worked to the advantage of the extroverts around us. When I spotted the chapter on how to "extrovert yourself" (after repeatedly claiming that introversion was an intrinsic disposition that you can't change and should accept and embrace) I threw the thing onto the "return to library" heap. Maybe there's something worthwhile in it, but I pretty much thanked my public library for sparing me the expense of buying it.

Or I could be entirely wrong and missed the whole point.
