What's everyone up to right now?

[Fireball]

Finished assembling my new desk and dismantling and donating most of the old one.  Upgraded to a better tabletop, about a foot longer and solid bamboo instead of a hollow slab of laminate.  I now have a stack of actual drawers, including one suitable for file storage, so most of the assorted crap from my desk is now stowed away out of sight.

Due to planned office renovations I set up the new desk in the larger part of the 2nd floor study -- but then I needed to run out and get a 25' Cat5 cable.  I have no idea what I did with the mass quantities of long network cables I used to possess; probably gave them away because no one needed anything longer than a 10' cable.  (2nd and 3rd floors are hard-wired with Cat5 drops in three rooms, and my desktop system was previously only a couple of feet away from the Ethernet switch/router.)

Also dusted everything.  There are currently two stuffed toys sitting happily in the nice, clean printer output tray:  Pusheen the Cat, and a Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog (a.k.a. Wensleydale, the Cable Management Rabbit, who holds USB cables in his fierce jaws).

Oh, and it's bloody hot outside today -- currently 32°C at 7:30 p.m. in Winnipeg, with a Humidex of 44.  Waiting for another hour or so before I go to the bookstore for a coffee and a sweet.

I know about that Cat5 cable business. It was all wifi in our house until my neighbor bragged about how fast he can break the encryption with some software he has. I bought a 500 foot spool of cable, a bunch of jacks and plugs, and made my own. I ran 4 drops to the dining room and one drop to each of the 4 bedrooms. Hack that, asshole.   He'd need access to the attic, and he'd end up hacked, if I caught him up there! It's currently still over 100°F (38°C) here. Good thing it's a dry heat.

Ice cream!

Tillamook Marion Berry Pie, with hot fudge.

Lying in bed on a Sunday morning.

I forget you get to experience Sunday before I do.  

That's ok. She also has to get up for work on Mondays before we do.

At work doing paperwork at 7am.

Have a really bad head cold so I’m going home once done.

Watching a ball game.

Same here. Watching Twins baseball. Heck, it's only the Orioles, but we'll take any win we can get this year.

Just got back from a catholic church carnival/festival thingy. It was OK. 

Noticed that they had the anti-abortion kiosk in the center of all the kiddie attractions. 

No programming to be seen here, move along.

I hope you tired them out.  Yanks have to play a doubleheader with those fucks tomorrow.

Continuing the tidying of my work space.  Dealt with a couple of the many to-do notes -- I e-mailed an old high school acquaintance, and updated my dragon's blog.  (No, really.)

Also went on a massive grocery shopping expedition with my daughter.  It's a good trip when you come back with fresh apricots, Parmigiano Reggiano, and mass quantities of ginger beer.

I picked the wrong frickin' day to get on the roof to cut back the branches. Thought I was gonna die up there in the heat. Glad I got it done though. I really don't want the inspector who's coming tomorrow to "mistake" hail damage for tree damage and screw me on any repairs, if they're necessary.
