Done the last 2 days (20110315 Tu - 16 We)

( raw notes )

A pretty good couple of days, though most of my time at work was taken up with helping set up the new coworkers who joined Monday and Wednesday, respectively. I did get a few things done on my own, though.

Back at home, I realized that I could swap the wifi access point with the switch that I keep next to my desktop machine. That will make the access point easier to work on in case it decides to go wonky again, and put it in a place where that wonkiness won't come between the router and the fileserver. Haven't done it yet, though; I need to track down some mounting hardware first. Stupid thing isn't designed to wall-mount.

Meanwhile, I suppose the most interesting thing that happened was that I actually noticed when a thank-you reply to a comment about grieving made me feel good. (It's probably kind of sad when an online note of thanks is the high point of my day, but it is a pretty major advance in my quest for self-knowledge.)

I had a good talk with Moira last night, and spent a fair amount of time packing.

I think the best link was to Miru Kim and her stunning series of self-portraits in a pig factory and in otherwise-deserted urban environments. There's also a video of how she works. Marginally NSFW. Also, a write-up by cflute of a show I really wish I could have gone to.

Writer's Block: Have a drink on me

[Error: unknown template qotd]

It's really not clear whether anyone in their right mind would want to drink something called a "steve savitzky". My signature drink is genever gin, up, with a twist of lemon and a dish of greek olives on the side.
