Done yesterday (20100730 Fr)

( raw notes )

A decent day, though all of my work day was spent researching a mysterious network speed problem rather than actually, you know, working. (Where "working" == "writing the stuff that's actually on my list of tickets". This is, admittedly, a limited definition; a large but hidden part of my job is to provide generalized wisdom and experience.)

No walk to speak of. I did, however, get a couple of people asking me if I'd brought in my guitar. Plink has been making friends.

Stopped at Safeway on the way home to get dinner: sirloin steaks, sliced portobello mushrooms, and broccoli. Yum. Steak-and-eggs for lunch today.

Sang for Colleen about 9pm: she said to just start at the front of my songbook. I skipped a couple of clunkers, but sang Another Country, Big Blue Blues, Bigger On the Inside, Bound For Hacker's Heaven, Bugs, and Can't Get It Up.

My Mom invited me to join Facebook. I may have to give in and do it.

Quite a few good links under the cut. xkcd: University Website doesn't just apply to universities -- if I can't find what I need on a product's site, I'm unlikely to become a customer.

Thankful... um... almost Sunday?

So today, and this week, I'm thankful for...

• Colleen, and our long-lasting, loving relationship. And even longer friendship.
• Programming skills, also still with me after a long time together.
• Wisdom. Not as much as I'd like, but still.
• Friends.
• The internet. I don't think I've mentioned it before. But it, too, has been an important part of my life.
