May, it’s done. Well, maybe not quite, but today’s the last of it, and what with coming out of a long holiday weekend, I’m treating today more like June 0th than May 31st. I’m going to try and plow through all the start-of-week and start-of-month stuff today so the decks will be clear for tomorrow.
The weekend? Saints on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. Lost two of the three to Kansas City, which isn’t encouraging, since the Saints are in the same division as the T-Bones this year. Decent food through the weekend, and even more work to do putting the recipes up. Maybe that’ll happen this week, but then again, maybe not.
On Saturday night, Adam Olow hurt himself sliding into second. Now the St. Paul Saints will miss ‘best hitter in league’ for a month due to a sprained ankle. Ouch.
Saturday night/Sunday morning saw my first real glitch with ipHouse. They had moved the old ProNS DNS servers, and that meant that suddenly DNS wasn’t working for me. Much worse, it wasn’t working on my server, which meant that the 800-odd spams that came in while I slept Saturday night could neither be flagged as spam nor bounced, and I had to spend some time Sunday morning first figuring out the DNS problems, and then sorting out the mess that 900 spams (they didn’t stop coming while I was fixing things) leaves. Eww.
Yesterday? Big plans for getting things done around the house. Instead I headed up to mom’s to visit her and got stuck in traffic (at 2pm!) returning to the Cities. I ventured off onto side roads, since I’d rather drive 45 with an occasional stoplight than alternate between 70 and 35 on the freeway. When I finally made it home, I took care of the things that had to be done, and then collapsed on the couch, letting everything else wait for today. As if I didn’t already have enough to do.
- Over the weekend, Claire book tagged me. So here’s my contribution to Book Tag meme. [claire]
- Sounds like the pieces are coming together: Johnny Depp arranges to shoot Hunter Thompson’s ashes from cannon. They still need approval from Pitkin County, but it sounds like that will probably happen. [strib]
- Here’s how to make your very own Guinness Ice Lolly (aka popsicle). Cool. Err. Cold! [boing boing]
- In the comments on a Link dump that Dan did, it was pointed out that there may be a loophole in Minnesota’s fornication law, since it prohibits sex with any single woman, but says nothing at all about multiple women. In any case, I plan on putting a bug in my local reps’ ears about these laws. One of them is just nutty enough that she might introduce a bill trying to repeal them, just in time for people to be able to watch the outcome before the 2006 elections. [flutterby]
- KernelTrap has a feature on the OpenBSD Hackathon 2005, Part I. Interesting reading, especially the part about OBSD now working on Zauruses. Part II is also available. [openbsd]
- Claire & Aaron’s new book RebelFire: Out of the Gray Zone is now listed on Amazon. It should actually be available there soon, if you don’t want to buy it directly. [endwar]
