Done yesterday (20100611 Fr)

( raw notes )

Friday was a very long, busy, draining day, but I got through it without getting frazzled or freaking out, which I think is more than I could have done a year or two ago. It started at 4am, getting up to pick up the Younger Daughter from her Grad Night party. It ended with a whimsical IM conversation (I'm brain-fried... Fried brains are tasty to zombies...), a nice hot bath which got many of the kinks out, and comfortable snuggle.

In between, I learned that I'll be needing to move my office, or at least the stuff on my desk, from Menlo Park to temporary quarters in Cupertino. Monday. I cleverly decided to take advantage of the fact that I was going to have to bring the test server down anyway, and do some cleanup.

Haven't I learned not to do anything "clever" on a Friday afternoon? Apparently not.

Three hours later (that's 8pm) I finally found the line in /etc/apache2/envvars that was telling apache to run as something other than the default user www_data. Which, in turn, was playing merry hell with suexec, the error messages of which are a little too obscure for a tired old bear working late on a Friday evening.

Lots of good links under the cut. With awesomesauce.

Party at Grand Central Starport

Our annual June party, celebrating Emmy's graduation from high school among other things, is now officially open for business fun and food. The Very Impressive Cake has been fetched and unboxed, and the bathtub has been loaded with drinks.
