Done day before yesterday (20100510 Mo)

( raw notes )

I spent most of Monday taking the YD to various doctor's appointments, and working from home in between. I'm not sure what it says about me that I found an MRI to be a highly enjoyable sort of adventure. The YD hated it, as did Colleen last year. Odd -- I thought I was the neophobe. Maybe the technophilia cancels it out. Knowing that they're using microwaves and magnets to perform quantum-mechanical operations on the atomic nuclei in my head counts for a lot.

Lena Horne died. So did iceweasel, on my home machine. Somewhere there's a lock file I haven't found. I'm missing Lena Horne more; chrome lacks a couple of add-ons, but is basically everything I want in a browser.

The usual collection of good links under the cut.

Done yesterday (20100511 Tu)

( raw notes )

Mostly just work -- Setting up a new desktop computer in the morning, debugging and coding in the afternoon. (Yes, I know the usual order is coding, then debugging. I was debugging code I'd written on Monday.)

Took a rather short walk, and crashed fairly early so as to get in more snuggle.

The links include a moving obit for Frank Frazetta and the remarkable news that Google Android surpasses iPhone sales, edging it out for the second-place slot after Blackberry.

Wishful Wednesday

Once again it's Wishful Wednesday, when I post a link to my Caregiver's Wishlist. I seem to have missed it two weeks ago.

Credit card scam - old but dangerous

I got this link via email from my mom. It appears to be fairly old, but worth mentioning because it's so slick. Basically a social engineering attack to get the verification code off your card.
