On Sunday I had the pleasure of attending my first Women who like beer Meetup over at the Rogue Public Ale House in San Francisco. As I previously posted, this was for a Socola Gourmet Chocolatier and Rogue Ales Beer Pairing! I left shortly after 1PM and caught some of the Gay Pride parade on […]

Gyms and beers
June 26th, 2010 by pleia2
I finally joined a gym last week, Crunch, just down the street from where I live. When I canceled my membership back in Pennsylvania in preparation for the move in February the plan was to see how walking everywhere in the city would do for me exercise-wise and decide from there whether I wanted another […]
Geeknic and SF Ubuntu Hour
June 23rd, 2010 by pleia2
On Saturday MJ and I packed up our picnic goodies and headed down to Los Gatos (no, I didn’t bring my cats or my NetFlix DVDs) to Vasona Lake County Park for the second Bay Area Geeknic. This was a smaller geeknic than the first, but we had the essential ingredients for a great day. […]
Pink Wiimote!
June 21st, 2010 by pleia2
Last year I blogged about pink wiimotes, but they were just regular wiimotes with pink covers on them. Now? Thanks to the sharp eye and generosity of Mackenzie Morgan I have an actual pink wiimote! Thanks for such a thoughtful gift Mackenzie! And also thanks to Mark Terranova for getting it to me, all the […]
Painting, Partimus and Open Computing Showcase
June 13th, 2010 by pleia2
I’ve been on call this weekend, which was one of the busier ones I’ve had, but I still had time for other things. Saturday was spent finishing the major painting work of the storage units, I’m so glad that’s almost done, we just need to do some touch up later this week. From there it’s […]

June 12th, 2010 by pleia2
Last week we decided to postpone User Days until Saturday, July 10th so we could get more presenters and let more people know about it. Over this past week Nigel Babu, Chris Johnston and I worked hard to contact prospective instructors and get the schedule pinned down, which we finished yesterday afternoon. The schedule for […]

New monitor and LinuxChix meetups
June 4th, 2010 by pleia2
I’ve been wandering up and down the peninsula quite a bit this week. First was Wednesday night when I finally met Terri Oda! We met at Shiva’s Indian Restaurant in Mountain View with John Hawley and BJ Wishinsky, both of whom are also locals but I hadn’t met yet. It was a really delightful dinner, […]
Priming!
June 3rd, 2010 by pleia2
The installfest I talked about in my last post certainly took up much of my day on Sunday, but Saturday and Monday of this past holiday weekend had MJ and I busy with a project at home: starting to paint our storage units. We purchased three storage units in the building a couple months ago, […]
