Done yesterday (20110723 Sa)

( raw notes )

A good day. Around 11:15 I noticed that I actually felt good about how much I'd done, so... win. And more than 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep last night, too. If this were a novel, something would go horribly wrong today.

Central didn't have the inexpensive GigE switch I wanted, but they did have the best price in town on the 2TB drive. It's the new "Barracuda Green" line, and runs very cool and quiet. Big win. Or it will be, once I get it installed. Now I'm debating whether to get another to use as my main drive. Nova, the fileserver, is running around 17W right now. Like.

I also got one of the two remaining carpentry projects "done" -- cobbling together a little cart for my desktop box plus its UPS. I'd have to call it a successful prototype rather than a finished project, but it'll do for now. I cannibalized the old printer cart, which has been kicking around (and taking up space) literally for decades.

In between, I made lunch (scallop ceviche) and dinner (sauteed scallops) -- scallops were on sale at Costco this week. Took a 2.5mi walk around the Rose Garden, and did a fair amount of decluttering in the office. It looks like a lot, because I consolidated the plastic crate that's been sitting in front of the file cabinet down to a small cardboard box. Which I hope to get rid of today.

So it was a good day, finally. Um... ok, about 3 weeks after ending my experiment with a reduced dose of SSRI. Right.

A couple of links in the notes.

Help!!

If anyone out there has any idea how to make a computer running Windows 7 print to CUPS running on Debian Squeeze, please help. I'm baffled. It used to work fine with XP.

Right now the only viable fallback plan is to buy the YD a printer.
