Last night we ended up going over to ‘s place to hang out for a bit. The only time we’ve been seeing him in the recent past is at philly-chix meetings because he drove his former girlfriend to them. Now that she’s moved to Ohio we had no excuses to visit! So we just made […]

Cygwin and biscuits
July 29th, 2004 by pleia2
Today I spent some time with cygwin. I’d say it’s a great attempt at putting unix stuff in Windows, but it’s far from perfect. The tool for installing it and adding packages is neat, but I ended up with some version problems after I installed screen and irssi. screen and irssi started up fine, which […]

Lilo bitmap image!
July 28th, 2004 by pleia2
Unfortunately I spent a better part of the day doing it. The biggest problem I had was figuring out how many colors you really could reasonably use (16) and what colors you could use for the text. Eventually I found these out and didn’t have any trouble throwing together a boot page: Someday when I’m […]

Taking the steps to go wireless.

This weekend was pretty good. It wasn’t hot, so Michael and I got a lot of stuff done. The roof is almost completely patched now, only need a bit more super heat resistant roof caulking stuff to patch up the remaining hole around the chimney. I’m finally getting a new network card for my silly […]

A groundhog in my garden.
July 24th, 2004 by pleia2
I was sitting in my bed yesterday evening, reading a new Linux book, when Caligula ran into the bedroom and jumped into the window, all puffy tailed. He was watching something that was in my garden, I assumed it was a bird, or a bug, or a chipmunk, squirrel maybe? But he kept examining this […]

It’s friday.

It feels so good to write pretty html and css for website, and have all sections validate properly on the first try. Especially when validation is the last thing on your mind when writing it. I think the contract work I did this year helped push my html and css skills further than anything in […]

Graphing calculator emulator, Caligula the Movie, dinner.
July 22nd, 2004 by pleia2
Back when I was a senior in High School I had an old Ti-82 graphing calculator. A friend of mine online showed me how to write basic programs for it and I had all sorts of fun with it. So while sitting in IRC the other day, and an acquaintance mentioned that he had a […]

Cats are fine, weekend stuff, books..
July 19th, 2004 by pleia2
Cargo Kitty and Caligula seem to have sorted out their differences as the weekend progressed. They still scared each other from time to time, but they never hurt each other and seemed to even be calm while in the same room. At one point they were both sitting on the couch with me (Caligula glaring […]

Caligula and Cargo Kitties
July 17th, 2004 by pleia2
Michael brought Cargo Kitty home from work yesterday. I’ve only introduced cats to each other a few times in my life, and it was always with very quick, positive results. When I was young our cats Garfield (neutered, about 1 year old) and Night (a young unneutered kitten) were buddies after a single evening together, […]

If it’s not one thing, it’s another.

It’s been very stormy this week. On Tuesday we got a thunderstorm so bad that there was a river in my yard. Last night we had nice size hail and decided to cancel going to Delaware to hang out with John because it was just too nasty out. Last night we also learned that our […]
