Done yesterday (20110913 Tu)

( raw notes )

A fairly busy day at work, installing virtualization software. VMware doesn't have a free player for the Mac, so I went with virtualbox there. And I took a good walk: McClellan, Stelling, Stevens Creek, and Bubb Road; not quite 3 miles.

I went to Whole Paycheck on the way home; they didn't have much in the way of fish, so I settled for sausage instead: 4 mild Italian, and 2 habanero/green chili. The latter were bright, but not excessively so. Colleen and I had one of each type, saving the two remaining Italians for the YD.

The net connection crapped out a little before midnight (although the TV stayed on), and after determining that I could ping AT&T's gateway but nothing beyond it, I spent 45 minutes on hold listening to their stupid ad loop only to be told by the tech that there was a massive outage in California, and that tech support was experiencing unusually high call volumes. Ya think?

I'm afraid I wasn't too polite, though not actually abusive, when I suggested that they could have changed the on-hold message to say something about the problem. Idiots!

The gateway and my router probably needed rebooting anyway.

I should mention that it's Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week. I'll have a post on mine sometime soon. Other links, as usual, in the notes.
