Daily notes that won’t necessarily happen every day. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer.
The neighboring building has squatters. OK. Their power got shut off. Not OK. They’re using candles for light. Suck. How long before a fire?
Finished chapter 3 of Little Schemer. Slow going, but I’ve been doing a lot of other stuff.
Why do I keep getting distracted by tcl/tk?

I tweet too much.
drinking a little coffee before the day’s tasks
Washed an interview outfit + extra socks because it’s raining. Woolite smells nice and my hands are super clean!

I really like TextMate, but I worry about getting hooked on it hen being stuck with something else on work machines.
Added a little simple styling to my fxTwitter thingy. I think next I should try for posting.
trying to submit my resume to @startupers

hm. I am not enjoying “the Phantom of the Opera.” Not my kind of musical, I guess.
Hacked together a FXRuby app that displays my twitter history in a text field. ’twas a fun brain experiment and maybe I’ll do more tomorrow.
Using a potato and a stray bit of tv cable together as a surprisingly effective tv antenna.
apropos of nothing: my favorite Buffy villain was the mayor. Wholesome and pure evil all in one freshly starched package.
Realizing that I would be quite content working at WhitePages again.
slowly updating my LinkedIn profile
Here’s hoping a fire extinguisher is your next creation, @dlpasco.

Been enjoying a borrowed copy of “The Ruby Programming Language”. Sleepy now.
