Done yesterday (20100412 Mo)

( raw notes )

Amazingly, I finished my taxes yesterday, and e-filed them a few minutes after midnight. This makes me feel very much better, and reasonably pleased with myself. I still have to do chaoswolf's, but that'll be trivial.

I remembered my dream from the night before, probably because I woke up very abruptly.

Interesting insight of the day: I know intellectually that I enjoyed riding my bicycle, but what I actually remember is being cold, wet, tired, miserable, and in pain. (Or various subsets of these.) Guess it's not really all that surprising that I don't ride anymore; I may want to reconsider. It probably applies to some other things, too.

Spent most of my time at work setting up the new Mac mini, which I've named whitewood after Whitewood Creek in the Black Hills of South Dakota -- most of our machines are named after rivers. I also spent some time preparing to move my desktop from the ageing Dell to a nice, quiet Shuttle box that currently houses a server called nile. I love Linux's ability to multi-home network interfaces, and also the wonderful x2vnc, which lets me move the mouse and keyboard seamlessly between a Linux box and a Mac.

I've already raised the signal on the most important links.
