I’m having a very busy week, and the weather is beautiful and I need to get out of cubicle-land so I’ve been going on walks during my lunch break rather than catching up on email and LJ. So if you’ve emailed me or anything in the past few days and I haven’t responded it’s because […]

apt and trees
March 27th, 2006 by pleia2
I am in a terrible mood today :\ I don’t think there is a particular reason for this mood, but the catalyst was probably waking up with a sinus headache. I don’t want it to be allergy season already. Last night I was doing some upgrades and installing some pretty basic packages on my primary […]

Saturday in Philly
March 26th, 2006 by pleia2
First off, it was a year ago today Michael and I got engaged. Hooray! It’s gloomy out and I’ll probably be spending most of today working on the computer. I have a whole pile of projects to get to work on, so many that I’m sitting here staring at IRC overwhelmed because I don’t have […]

Minirant, and stuff this week
March 24th, 2006 by pleia2
I’ve wanted to write rants/essays about a few things this week, but once I sat down to actually write them, things didn’t turn out right. So instead I will consolidate them into bullets. The intention to make a “game for women” is insulting. Instead game developers need to take a long hard look at how […]

First day of spring
March 20th, 2006 by pleia2
I read a friend’s blog this morning and she mentioned that Rita’s gives everyone a free regular waterice on the first day of spring. Oooh! It was snowing on my way to work today, and it’s only 39F outside now, but I wasn’t about to miss a free waterice. After trying unsuccessfully to recruit some […]

Food, mom, Ubuntu-women, misc stuff
March 19th, 2006 by pleia2
I don’t seem to have posted much about my week. I guess most of the weekdays were relatively unimpressive. I picked up some Stash Fusion Green and White Tea and Twinings Earl Grey on our weekly grocery shopping trip, both of which are great. My tastes certainly have changed a lot in these past few […]

Coffee, Tea and Caffeine
March 15th, 2006 by pleia2
I’m an American, Americans drink coffee. I started drinking it in my late teens when I was working 3rd shift in a store, it helped through some of those long nights. Throughout my adult life I’ve gone back and forth between being a coffee nut and giving it up completely. I enjoy an herbal tea […]

Ubuntu’s Black Eye
March 13th, 2006 by pleia2
Yesterday a fellow in the #plug channel posted the URL to the forum thread where it was revealed that Ubuntu had a critical security bug. It’s since been slashdotted. According to the bug report, it turns out that the normal Breezy Badger 5.10 install saves your first user’s password in a clear-text file on the […]

weekend
March 12th, 2006 by pleia2
Friday night we met the usual movie night crew, at one of their places this time. We talked a lot, caught a couple episodes of the Daily Show on their TiVo. Ate some food and had a couple beers. We ended up leaving pretty early because we were both tired. I did get to try […]

Detours
March 10th, 2006 by pleia2
It’s so nice out today. I’ve had a nice, productive week. Wednesday morning I was almost to work when I encountered a detour on route 63, the main street of the town I work in. Great. I was late for work because of the increased traffic and I had to hit the backroads that I’m […]
