Kevin's musings

TGIF. Busy again today.

went out and ran some errands this afternoon and the FedEx guy showed
up with my new microwave/convection oven. Did he just leave a
note and try again Monday? Oh no. Did he leave it with my next
door neighbor? Oh no. Did he leave it with a neighbor that lives
about 4 houses down the street and just moved in last week and
doesn’t know anyone? Of course. Luckily she knocked on my door
and we managed to get the box in from her house to mine. It’s
frocking huge. They way over packed it, I guess from fear that
it would break. It’s this one: sharp r-1870 convection/microwave. I sure hope it doesn’t suck. 😉

Pulled down the old fan/hood/light thing. Looks like it’s hardwired
into the wall. ;( So, I need to put in a new outlet in the
cabinet above the stove and remove the old junk there. Perhaps I
will hire someone to just do it right. Pictures here:
kitchen fun.

Whew. Was a very busy day today. Lots of kernel reboots for the stupid
brk() bug. Lots of tracking down other problems and taking
calls.

Went and picked up Dave. He’s his usual bouncing self. I know there must be a home out there for him,
he just seems to never get a good break. Has been in two homes so far. In the first one the family was going
through rough times and couldn’t keep him. The next he had aggression issues with his adopters.
He’s been great (if energetic) here.

Anyone want a dog?
Dave is available

Back home and back to work today. The dogs were totally worn out from all the travel and pretty
much slept the day away (but then thats not too different from most days).

Did some more poking around at clamav. Tried to run it with more debugging, but it locked up again
and didn’t really provide any more information. Tried to check the lists, but lists.sourceforge.net
wasn’t answering. Sourceforge has really gotten pretty worthless. Lists don’t work, people can’t
get CVS working, etc. Got the older 0.60 version from Jafo and tried that, but it locked up the same
way a few minutes later. Wonder if it’s related to how I am calling it: from procmailrc. I guess I will
try and submit a problem report to them about it when lists.sourceforge.net comes back up.

Got mailman all working and sent out a invite to a bunch of people that were on my old party list
to subscribe to it or not. Even got it to use https://lists.scrye.com/ for the URL for everything.
The default invite sure doesn’t look that great, and it’s not customizable. 🙁 Oh well, we will see
who all is interested in being on the list.

Perhaps this weekend would be a good time to do another gaming party or a cocktail party or something.

Watched the first part of the Decalogue. It was more interesting
than I was thinking it would be. Probably will go ahead and watch the rest of them, or at least a few more.
The first one was a father/son story, mostly about death. Next I watched Hatred of a minute. It was reasonably well done, but didn’t seem to go anywhere. Then, showing just how sick
and twisted I can be, I watched Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.
Death to Deranged serial killer to a movie about a horse. A nice evening of slacking in front of movies.
