Well, this weekend was a weekend of grand plans. I was going to go and do all these grand things, and spend a lot of money (being as the grand things involved paying bills and such), but sadly almost none of that happened. I got lots of sleep saturday, till 1 or so… actually got moving and doing things around 3. “Doing things” involved physical activity this time though, went for a run and then a workout. By the time I was back, showered and ready to go into town, it was 5, and in this sleepy little town, seems things shut down around 3pm on the weekends. Pah. The bank wasn’t open so I couldn’t pay off my Rogers bill. Nor could I pay the $20odd bux left on my house insurance. And future shop doesn’t carry Clarion CD changers (and that is the only place I have a 3 months no interest credit card at) so upgrading my car cd changer to one that, well, works didn’t work out. So I basically went into town and then came back.
Went out later on in the eve for my buddy Drew’s birthday party. Kicked butt with Rover on those sports bar ‘pick the right answer’ electronic games. You know the ones I mean.
Today was a little better. Got up and around by 10, and was actually productive! I got the phone cord strung up on the ceiling (actually the wall right up at the ceiling level, as I found that the ceiling is just brittle and thin plaster… there is a tiny hole to prove it too. I considered punching a slightly bigger hole through so I could string the cable (this is for the ADSL modem…. the only phone outlet is by the front as you will recall), but figured that holes in the ceiling might make it harder to get my security deposit back when I leave (Jeff Foxworthy flashback: “but the pizza boxes were always stuck to the ceiling!”).
Happiness is finding a gig partition you had forgotten about. I’m now in the process of moving mp3s out of my home directory and into a “real” parition that matches up with my current collection (and my /var/ftp as well). I had grand plans of finally giving up on rolling my own distro and just throwing my spare 13G drive into my box, replacing a drive and having lots of room again, but then I find this forgotten /home partition that I had kept for some reason and decided to fill that up first. Then more grand plans of getting work done on the new ufies site (did get some gfx and planning done though) were waylayed by X-Files and discovering that Civ:CTP can be more than one little guy wandering the map. Course, Civ is the sort of game that you look up and say “oh god, it’s 4am”, so I decided to cut it short, only an hour later that I planned to go to bed. Then raskal alerted me that I’d screwed up my httpd.conf and was 404ing on my home page…. so I decided to put up my words of wisdom for the weekend.
Awk. Deadline on Friday. Will we be ready? If Cuv’s firewall works like it should, and I don’t get called off on too many diff projects (I think tuesday I’m re-doing docs for our new version of gg [archive.org link]), and I get the huge long list of “little things to fix/do” done…. maybe.
I’ll need my sleep regardless.
