Tomorrow, 40. Today, still in my 30s. I’d be more worried about it if I didn’t have a bunch to do today, I think. Actual paying work needs to be done in preparation for taking some of tomorrow off and spending the weekend watching baseball.
I’d write more, but I think I’ll save that for tomorrow, since the FedEx guy just showed up with the package that will let me do the work I need to do today, and I need to get cracking on that stuff.
And a bit of warning. Tomorrow’s update will likely be light on links, long on ramblings, and somewhat later than my usual self-imposed 9am deadline.
- Phil Greenspun has some thoughts on House Design that sound interesting. I’m not about to start knocking walls out of my place, but it’s got me thinking a bit about things I might do when I start working on things inside the house again in a month or so. [flutterby]
- From the author of Mei Wah, which teaches you how to read Chinese by way of restaurant menus, comes Irons Always In Fire, an essay that sounds awfully familiar to me. Like me, he’s got a lot of things to do, but as soon as they start to feel like work, it’s hard to get to them. And real work? Well, if it was fun, they wouldn’t be paying me to do it. [flutterby]
- Hmm. Time for some system updates. OpenSSH 3.9 has been released. On top of that, Malformed OSPF Packet Causes Reload of Cisco IOS. That means that an awful lot of routers out there need firmware updates. [openbsd and slashdot]
- The Appeal of handgun ruling won’t get speedy review, leaving the MCPPA out for now. Joel Rosenberg had an analysis of what this means to people who have permits, as well as those who want one. There are some interesting side-effects. [strib]
- Hmm. I’m not sure if I’d Trade Sex for Votes (or rather the other way around), but then again, I looked through the list for someone from Minnesota, and wasn’t impressed by the one gal on there. For some reason, as I come up on my 40th, someone who’s just now able to go into bars doesn’t seem that appealing.
