Bamwv day, terms, and my kitty!

It’s bamwv nickname day in #13thHour. This means we take our initials + state, providence, or country code and make it our nickname. So our channel list included:

eakpa
mdbpa
jcymi
sadsc
jdjse
kcfde

It actually looked a bit like a botnet ;) And Bamwv hasn’t even show up yet! Gah!

I ditched poor wterm and now I have Eterm running. I ran into a couple issues with it resuming screen sessions on Debian boxes, which was resolved by setting $TERM to something other than Eterm. So now I have:

Eterm -f white –trans –tint magenta –scrollbar off -c blue -v –buttonbar off –font ‘-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-m-*-iso10646-1’ –term-name rxvt

The font is a bit larger than I would have used previously, but with my nice new desk my monitor is further away from me than I’m used to, so big fonts are fine. Eterm is really slick looking, even if it’s heavier than wterm. At least all my keys work now.

I’m feeling a bit better today. I held off taking DayQuil to see how bad my cold still was, around noon I had to take it because I was getting too congested, so at least I got to spend half the day completely clear headed.

Tomorrow around 1 pm we’re going to leave for our trip to South Jersey to pick up Caligula. It’s about 2 hours away, so we’ll get there around 3, hopefully be happily home by 6. Yay kitten!

I’m going to go make dinner now. *wanders off*
