Packing Up the Basement

Most of tonight was spent packing up loose items in the basement. Each tenant in the building has their own storage space, and we ended up getting most of the freestanding stuff into boxes. Come Friday, we’ll hopefully clear this stuff out and move it over in a few trips. I stumbled across Liz’s old…

Demolition

Got a call from Liz on my way over, telling me I might want to arrive before the sun fully set. Across the alley from her building, there was a house being torn down. When I showed up, all the crew had gone for the day – and so I was able to wander in…

Phone Project: Status

Good progress this weekend. I may have arrived on a logo concept I’m happy with, and got some work done with laying out the GUI. I also made a rough stab at the XML (which needs to get fine-tuned), and have started to wire up things a bit. Before I get too far (I’m really…

An Afternoon of Packing

I went over to Liz’s place today, to help out with some pre-move packing. I’m looking to take off next Friday to move a ton of boxes in the hopes that, come Saturday… all we’ll have left to move is the big/heavy stuff. Today, we worked on the living room, the office, and the kitchen….

Unexpected Gift

So this arrived in the mail at work today, and it had me completely baffled. I wasn’t expecting anything, and had no idea what this was. But – a quick note later, and it dawned on me. Matthew, one of the folks involved with the You Are Beautiful project, sent me a sort of thank-you…

Gaki No Tsukai: Silent Library

This is repost from MetaFilter, but it’s so good… I needed to share it with you all. Gaki No Tsukai is a Japanese show, set up in a (fake) library. The whole point of the game/show is to not laugh out loud. Six participants are given cards, and each time… one of them has to…

Phone Valet Test: Call Me

I’ve hooked up Phone Valet to my Mac successfully. Turns out I had a bunk DSL filter, or I don’t know what. At any rate, whatever it was… it’s working now. So that’s the important thing. I’ve got a phone line going into my Mac, and the DSL remains up. Sweet! If you’re interested in…
