  • Burning More Vacation Time

    I’m taking a four-day weekend, starting today. We have something fun planned for tomorrow, and the rest of the time we’ll fill with whatever forms of rest and relaxation we find appealing.

    I should make a point of unloading the camera’s memory, shouldn’t I? Hmm. I wonder if CompactFlash prices have come down in the last year or so…

  • Nerd Two Point Oh

    I did a meme over at the Ell Jay, so why not do a meme over here as well? You may remember my results from the first Nerd Test; apparently they’ve updated the quiz somewhat.

  • Clean Today, Goof Tomorrow

    I set a goal for myself this weekend: Spend a few hours cleaning my bedroom & bathroom. Let’s see how I did…

    • The tan computer desk’s main surface and keyboard drawer have been decluttered and cleaned. Even the scanner, speakers and keyboard received a quick wipe-down. One can, for goodness sake, see the entire desk surface.
    • The bathroom sink and counter-top are clean.
    • I took the roomie’s spiffy new vacuum cleaner for a spin, and boy does my floor look good!

    The other computer desk needs a quick once-over, all of the hutches and shelving need their contents thrown on the floor and rearranged and/or tossed into the trash, and then there’s the small matter of my overflowing closet… but I think I’ve done enough damage for one day. I’m taking a four-day weekend after the coming joyfully-short work week, and my goal is to spend part of next Sunday making more visible progress on turning my living quarters into somewhat less of what many parental units around the world and over the years might refer to as “a pig-sty.”

    Not, mind you, that I normally live in filth. Just… clutter. Lots of clutter.
