It’s still in the 80s. I put aside cleaning yesterday because it was just too hot to do any without being miserable, but pushed myself into doing a couple hours worth. It wasn’t any fun. I really don’t mind cleaning, but when it’s in the mid 80s it’s definately not my favorite thing to do.
Michael patched up Munch’s tank, and yesterday we were able to fill it back up, put the proper chemicals in it and get the temp back to a normal temp so Munch didn’t have to live in the bucket anymore. He was very swimmy happy to be back in his tank. I’m glad he reacted well to the whole thing being cleaned out, I’ve read so many things about taking care of fishes that stress letting the water sit in the tank for a week and all this stuff, but we couldn’t keep him living in the bucket for too long. So I’m just happy he survived the whole ordeal. Michael was careful to put aquarium caulking not just on the new leak, but re-enforced all the corners with it so this sort of thing hopefully won’t happen again.
Today Michael spent some time going through xfce4 applications and telling us which ones were cool, so now I’m reaping the benefits of that, yay!
In this bit of a screenshot I have xfce4-weather and xfce4-xmms-controller (NOT xfce4-xmms). That tooltip for the xmms app is when I mouse over it, it gives me control to clear and see the playlist and stop/pause/skip/etc controls of what’s playing. xfce4-weather is the really cool one though, it seems to work very well (not like the weather epplet for Enlightenment, or kweather, which can be crankie). It can scroll through lots of weather information, has a picture of current conditions and mouse over tooltip tells you current condtions, a left click on it will pull up current conditions and a forecast tab! Woo! Apparently it uses “xoap.weather.com” to grab it’s information, which is pretty cool, because xoap is xml feeds! Like for me: http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/19473. I don’t think this would port well to international weather, and it estimates your location (Says I’m in Pottstown in the xfce4 app for whatever reason…) but it’s neat that they have something like this (even if it has a “This document is intended only for use by authorized licensees of The Weather Channel. Unauthorized use is prohibited.” warning on it…).
I want it to be fall now.
