Getting things done

It occurs to me that I've done a few things this last week and not blogged about them. Bad bear!

The wheelchair ramps, which I threw together in a hurry last Monday, are mostly done now; I did most of the finishing this afternoon. There are two: a 6-foot ramp up the two steps from the sidewalk, and a 3-foot ramp going up from the porch to the door-sill. The long ramp still needs a second coat of varnish; it was getting late. I'll do it tomorrow. Things were complicated by the fact that Varathane Diamond Finish, their water-based indoor/outdoor polyurethane varnish, is no longer being made; there are now several different lines of indoor and outdoor water-based finishes, and the packaging is different enough that it took me three stores yesterday to realize that they actually had something I could use.

We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium today; took the wheelchair for Colleen. I couldn't find handicapped parking anyplace nearby; ended up in the usual parking lot after dropping off Colleen and the kids. Good trip anyway. The original plan had been to save money by eating a big breakfast at home and going back home for lunch, but we were hungry enough to need a stop at The Whole Enchilada on the way back. Tasty, though.

Got gnome-games installed on Colleen's EeePC, and Wednesday Jordan Uggla got a player installed that handles Live365, so the Cat's happy.

The main computer/web work for me, still in progress, is a major reorganization of steve.savitzky.net. More on that one in another post.

Computer progress and planning

It hasn't been a terribly busy week computer-wise here at the Starport, but considering that I've done practically nothing over the rest of this last month, at least I've been comparatively productive this weekend. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
