Frying some bacon for part of slow cooker dinner, and maybe a couple pieces for breakfast as well.

Hm. Wondering why reFIT is so slow on machine B when it’s quite snappy on machine A.

Off to play tech support at Mrs. Geek’s work, setting up things so they can watch the royal wedding online tomorrow.

Trying to figure out whether there will be a full archive of the royal wedding video tomorrow. Everybody’s talking about the live stream.

Fire drill alarm beeped a few minutes before the actual drill. I opted to beat the rush.

Pondering swiping a @popcap_games hoody and pretending I work there. Alas. Fore drill over, opportunity lost.

Twitter: 2011-04-27 Wed 10:54

fire drill, not fore drill. There will be no golfing.

Downloading Fedora 15 beta because Linux is really pretty on a Mac.

Got my new MacBook Pro. Yay! It doesn’t have the dev disk. Aww. That can wait until I get home. Can I go home now?

Got email notification that my MacBook Pro (13" refurbished FC374LL/A) has shipped. I am very excited.

Yep, that brought out the spambots. I figured it would.

Want to play with haml/sass 3.1. Alas, work has dibs.

And now back to writing Perl and researching licensey legal stuff.

If there’s one thing I hate more than ugly, untested code, it’s ugly software licenses. razzinfrazzing muckinfuss.

Almost time to go home and play with fun code.

Sometimes I kind of wish Seattle would turn all the lights off at night. Mainly when we have clear skies.

Yay, #perl 5.14 RC 1 is out! package VERSION {}, no more dereferencing for array/hash functions, more better Unicode.

Right. Time to focus on the awesome parts of my job, rather than the parts that kind of suck.

The iPhone tracking log is annoying, but at least it’s not a blog. “April 20: We never go anywhere. This guy sucks LOL. FML!”

Man, that’s tempting. Too bad PHP is my weakest link.
