took Friday and Monday off. The weekend activities I was intending didn’t pan
out at the last moment.

Spent most of the weekend cleaning up and whatnot. And doing as
much of nothing as I possibly could.

Bought a new faster cd burner, burnt some beta isos and installed
them on my home machine. Seemed to work fine. Attempted to
use nautilus, konqueror, gmc, krusader, rox-filer, and a few
other file managers to clean up my home dir. Decided that my
hatred of all things “file-manager” was still justified.

Bought a handful of books. Algorithms
in C parts 1-4 and 5. The more I deal with rpm, the more I realize my computer science knowledge
is nonexistent. Also a python/xml book, and User interface design for programmers.
Also a discount copy of Earth To Spirit.
It’s filled with new-agey “spiritual” nonsense, but I’m a sucker for a book with pictures of weird houses.

Also picked up another Andy Goldsworthy book from Nice Price Books.

Watched “Crossing Jordan” on tv lastnight. Network tv could use more
hot cynical atheists.

Looking forward to the Japan Air/Trans Am show at ps211 this
weekend.

Anyone going to the Rush show in Raleigh? Trying to
decide if I want to go here, or in Charlotte. And yes,
I admit it in public, I am a Rush fan.
