The weekend so far

[mdlbear]

I've actually been getting things done this weekend. Did a little work in the front yard on my way out to my walk yesterday morning; took a short walk that I didn't have to drive to so that I could reconnect with the flower_cat before she left for her Westercon meeting. Took the chaoswolf to her (Furcon) meeting, picking up Togo's sandwiches for lunch on the way. Brought mine and super_star_girl's back home.

In the afternoon I went out and hit a couple of surplus joints, including the big annual sale at Halted. Only things I got there were a pound of solder (leaded, hence soon to become extinct, but it works with my little temperature-controlled Oryx iron) and an ancient ethernet hub that must have been horribly expensive once, but was going for $.29/lb. I wanted it for its 1u rackmount case, of course. Should maybe have bought two.

After dinner, I went off to a party at Bill and Carole's (WANOLJ) that was advertised as a filk, but turned out to be small and completely without singing. Some decent conversation, but I started getting bored and sleepy, and left around 11pm.

In between the various expeditions, I managed to put in five or six hours of actual hacking on album-related web projects. I can now go from a directory full of .wav files to a web directory or a CD in one command (make put or make cdr respectively). It was originally done for my concert at Worldcon, and needs a little more work before it's also capable of generating the web page and liner notes. But it's working -- that's the main thing.
