Honey casts off her cast

News, Technical ·Saturday February 7, 2009 @ 00:18 EST (link)

20090201: Been reading some of Paul Graham's articles over the last few days. They do fill one with inspiration to start a startup—which I may someday, if I can figure out what to sell, provided I can make more money than either my present job or consulting.

Updated my Linux machine on the Linux Counter (they sent me a reminder mail), and added three that I'd got since the last update (which was a long time ago), although I don’t often boot into Linux on my laptop any more (which means it's long overdue for an update, which will probably be painful since it'll cross major version boundaries all over the place).

20090203: Honey's cast was taken off today; I took her to the doctor (at Evergreen Knee Foot and Ankle center); they removed it with a special saw, cut the cotton sleeve, and X-rayed her; the fracture was gone so they gave her a (removable) wrist brace to wear instead, which made Honey very happy; the cast was on her right hand, and it was extremely inconvenient

20090204: Workaholics (a kindler, gentler, optional version in theory) is back. Homework 3 has been posted for class.

20090206: Some neat Firefox tricks: shift + delete removes an autocomplete edit box entry, and if there's only one entry for an edit box it'll automatically populate, and then the GreaseMonkey extension's auto-login script will work (with the help of the allow password remembering script which removes autocomplete="off" attributes from form elements). Up all night (machine upgrades, Hell's Kitchen, Law and Order); going in to work early (0530); left at 1500; slept until 2100 when I got home; long day.

Upgrading minas-tirith clobbered my qmail-scanner changes, re-adding the (horribly broken) ClamAV to the scanner list, which caused mail sent to us to bounce (fortunately it's flooding in now that I re-disabled ClamAV).

DVDs finished: Friends: The Complete Fourth Season.
