Well, the install was… ok. We had the server in and ready to go in under an hour, however, client setup and a few weird dhcp glitches meant we left there around 3. Back in Abby for 4ish to get food (breakfast lunch and dinner, all in one!) and (because the guy at the sushi place was the slow one) barely made it back to collect the curtesy car from the place that got my brakes done. Ouch, more $ out the door. But now I can drive knowing that I can stop if I have to. The tuneup being done tomorrow will do me well too. Then it’s back to saving for trips and so on again. Well, that first and then the list of “stuff I want to buy when I have money to spare” that is on the whiteboard.
Rex’s eye keeps alternating from ok to not so ok, so I might take him in next weekend. There’s this lovely yellow puss stuff that sometimes is there, but his eye is open… Oops, sorry, were you eating? š
ARGH! in screwing around with netscape somehow I lost the ability to hit space for pagedown š Same as at work (where I thought “this sucks but at least it works at home”). Bleah.
I think I’m gonna work late tonight, despite the fact I could have gone to bed at 10 or so (and should have) but Wim from work wrote up a way cool (well, we’ll see if it works before we make that determination) howto on mod_perl, which I was in the midst of following when I discovered I couldn’t leisurely hit <SPACE> to read the next page.

I suppose the most disturbing thing about the start of today was waking up with “Suzi-Q” going through my head. That and the one word of arabic I learnt while in Tunisia around 1989 on a trip there with my parents: “barkaloufe” (spelled wrong I’m sure). Weird.
On the bright side I took my car in today to get it’s brakes done. Tomorrow I’ll get a curtesy car and get the rest of it all fixed up and ready to go.
