Done yesterday (20120223 Th)

[mdlbear]

A good walk yesterday, and one of my tech reports is nearly finished. Just one more section to go, and maybe a diagram. Good walking weather; maybe a little on the warm side.

After chasing down links to recordings of Wheelin' looking for a usable one, I realized that the one on the song page was ancient and awful. It's been replaced, now, with the one from Baycon 2010. I need to go back and do that for more of my songs.

Not to mention setting up a tip jar.

There are no more world-writable directories on my web host. They were left over from various CGI hacks on other hosts (all CGIs on Dreamhost run as me, so that's no longer a problem). I discovered yesterday that someone had put oddly-named php files into them (rsync -av tells me what's being deleted on the remote end).

I also put an rsync upload, and git push in some of the relevant web-related repos, into the script that runs every day when I'm logged in. Ought to write that up sometime.

I also had to do some scanning so I could mail PDFs to chaoswolf; I was delighted to find that xsane found the networked Epson Workforce 600 MFP on my desktop without any trouble. Go Linux!

A couple of good links at the bottom of the notes.

  * up 6:35; W=192.0; drugs, nose, teeth, dishes, exercise, light
  * something put php files into s.s.net/Songs/Sets -- check on this.  Weird
    -- I thought that cgi was disabled now.  Make sure the dir. isn't writable
    by www-data. -> bingo!  world writable.  Easily fixed.
    -> a couple of subdirs of users/steve/Photos/2005/, too.
       users/steve/Albums/bleeding/Premaster/ISO/Songs/Sets/
    find . -perm o+w -type d -print -> no other instances
  * walk: d=2.81mi, c=285, s=3.0mph via DeAnza and Stevens Creek
    Some unproductive shopping along the way.  Warm.  Mostly in the moment.

    all much better than the one currently in the s.s.net song page.  N likes
    the TGl one best, but says the solo showcases the _song_ better.
  * add push-offsite -v to daily
  * try to scan Kat's paperwork to pdf and email.  Can maybe use YD's rig.
    xsane on Cygnus found the Epson (ij) with no problems.  I couldn't find
    the multipage option, but for only two pages it was ok.
  % 9:12pm sleepy; drifting.  Been having trouble concentrating all day.
    getting up and grabbing a snack helps.
  * Thankful Thursday
    - things that could have been much, much worse
    - free software that Just Works
    - joints that hurt a lot less than they did last week
