The Saints are done with the home stand, and I’ll have one less thing to occupy my time for the next week or so. Is this a chance for me to catch up? Probably not. I’ve got enough of a list of things that need doing that it’s seeming insurmountable, and new stuff that has to be dealt with right now keeps popping up. Which means that when I do get a few minutes, I’ve been just collapsing, rather than trying to tackle the backlog.
But perhaps I’ll actually wake up one of these mornings feeling like I’ve had enough sleep and will be rarin’ to get stuff done. I think the important ingredient is going to be sleep.
- Woo! Gretz, Hall shine as Saints sweep Fargo. We forgot to bring our brooms last night, but that didn’t stop the Saints from taking three in a row from Fargo. Plus T. Brown actually hit with men on base, and looked a lot better at the plate once he did. The only down side? K.C. won last night, so the Saints are still a game back. [press-patch]
- In St. Paul, Shutdown talk picks up. Everyone’s acting as though this is a crisis. Me, I’d be interested to see how smoothly things still run with government “shut down”. [strib]
- The House Weakens Patriot Act’s “Library Provision”, but it’s still possible that amendment will get killed by the Senate. [fark!]
- This list of 11 Clients You Need To Fire Right Now sounds pretty familiar to me, and I suspect to anyone who’s been a contractor or consultant for any length of time. I’ve fired a few clients, but mostly have been lucky enough to find ones I can work with. [accordionguy]
- Marshall, a friend of mine who’s new to Xcode (the development environment supplied by Apple for Mac OS X) is documenting his experiences in XCode Experiences.
