Thursday - down to Ventura, then San Diego, then back to Ventura, then back to Lancaster...sometime next week. Talk to you then!

Wednesday 16 February 2011

Wednesday - Wow, rain, wind, all day. A nice little storm.

Book #19 was Citadel: Troy Rising II. This was the second in a series, I'll have to see if I can find the first. Essentially an asteroid is hollowed out and used as a giant fort, with missles and lasers, again various alien invaders. All on a very large scale. Space opera, but fun.

Tuesday 15 February 2011
Tuesday - I started ripping some of my CD's to MP3's. Since I have the originals this is completely legal. It takes about 10 minutes per CD, ripped at 190Kb using Ubuntu 10.10 and Asunder. The dLink WUA-1340 USB dongle works fine upstairs on the linux box, connecting to the router with very little difficulty. There was a short power spike that messed things up in late afternoon, and I had to shutdown the modem, router and computer and bring them up again to reconnect, but I've seen similar issues with Windows during that kind of event.

Speaking of which, rain predicted for tomorrow. Hard to believe, but that's what they say.

Monday 14 February 2011

Monday - I didn't give Valentines Day a lot of thought. But some friends showed up with cupcakes for me, so that was cool! Thaks S and K!!!



There is still a lot of cleaning up about the house to be done. One item was to take about four boxes of stuff from my parents' place and put them into a single large container. I found a lot of stuff, just cleaning up, but it's a tough task to face. There were also a few items from my grandfather to put away. It bothers me a bit that I have so little from my mother, just a few Hummel's that I gave her, an old vase.

I also found a number of packages of photographs of my own, that I should scan into the computer. It's hard to set a date on some of them though (except that my hair was gray and present), so the dates might be a bit arbitrary. There are even a couple of photo's of the cats as kittens.



I did get a phone call from my northern California brother. He was trying to work at the Martinez house and wanted to know if there was an issue with the water valve. I told him that it was just really really stiff. He and my Palmdale brother are remodeling the bathroom.

Sunday 13 February 2011

Sunday - taking it easy, had lunch with friends.



I've been enjoying Netflix over the Roku in the evenings. I'm on the third season of Psych! right now. From it's original very lighthearted and frothy beginning it's gotten a bit more serious and dark. Not massively so, it's still mostly a comedy, but Shawn's issues with his parents and his unwillingness to make a commitment in his life have taken a bit more of the stage.



I'm stuck in the house mostly, getting fatter and fatter. But I have done a bit more cleaning, making an assault on the computer room. There is just so much junk in there that it's ridiculous. A lot can be tossed, fortunately.
