The Terraplanes

For some reason I had low expectations for the Terraplanes on Tuesday night, but their music had a little more variety than I expected, so Sara and I both enjoyed them.

We couldn't make up our minds, ended up missing the 10pm bus, and decided we'd stay for at least the first few minutes of Meet the Fockers. It didn't look promising, and the rain started coming down, *hard*, after 10 minutes or so. So we went and waited (under a tree) for the bus home.

Break dancers

Somehow I managed to talk Trond into walking to Top of the Park with me after work on Monday. So we had a couple beers and some pizza and hung out with Sara. Sara also tried a green "sno-kone" which she claimed tasted like something you'd clean your bathroom with.

I wasn't too into the music, but there were breakdancers. Cool!

Trond went home after that, and Sara and I stayed to watch Shrek 2.

Saturday at Ben's

Ben had a party for jugglers and others.

I think his neighborhood is one of the few I've been around in recent years where you actually see kids outside playing. I've always wondered where they all were--do they lock them up inside all day?--but maybe I've just been walking through the wrong neighborhoods.

There was fire juggling. Noone got burned, but Noé got pretty sooty....

Thursday, June 23: The Sun Messengers

I always get a kick out of seeing the Sun Messengers play "Celebration" at Top of the Park. They may also still be Sara's favorite band, despite Big Will being no longer so big.

Wednesday, June 22: Steppin' In It, Princess Bride

"Steppin' In It", at Top of the Park, was another good band. I may have to finally admit that I've seen "The Princess Bride" as many times as I want to. Though somehow I still get a kick out of the duel, and a few of the other bits.

Sunday, June 19: Grievous Angel, Spider-Man

We showed up at Top of the Park in time for the second band, Grievous Angel, which was pretty good.

Spider-Man 2 was the movie. It didn't do much for me, though the villain was interesting.

Monday-Friday, June 13-17

Bakeathon week at work, preceded by a few days of testing and bugfixing, mostly reboot recovery stuff.

The week of bakeathon, though, I only did a little reboot recovery testing and mostly worked on ACLs. Both seem to be working reasonably well, though.

We also had a day-long pNFS meeting on Thursday, which was interesting.

testing, 1, 2, 3, testing

Just fooling around with gnome-blog-poster.

It works, except that images just get ignored. Hm, how to fix that?

previous homes

1975--1979? My old school has a website, which seems to depend on some immensely annoying flash to do some very simple navigation.

1979--1982?

1982--1984?

water, drupal

Some water main broke, so they're advising us to boil our water for a couple days while they wait for test results.

Drupal doesn't really seem to do all that much for me, so I maybe I'll try something else this weekend. Then I suppose I'll want to figure out how to export this stuff. Ho hum.

Stuff I'd like fixed: it doesn't handle images in entries so well. The "archives" thing is useless. Actually, it doesn't seem much better than just writing html. Hm.
