So I bailed on the InstallFest. I should have looked up the address sooner and organized appropriately. Instead of waited until Saturday morning to look up the place that for some reason I thought was in NE Philly. It was in Center City. Ack! It wouldn’t have been so bad if I wasn’t going down alone, but I really hate driving alone in the city. I felt bad that I canceled on them, but I let one of the guys know before he left for the -fest.<\/p>\n
Instead I spent the day mostly just working on a bunch of little things. Saturday afternoon Michael and I headed down to Skippack for some shopping. We tried a new coffee shop, which Michael’s post here<\/a> says everything about – the short version? It was no good. That evening we ordered some pizza and chilled out to watch Episode 1 and the Fifth Element RiffTrax<\/a>. We actually had to rent those movies, since we didn’t own them – how embarrassing ;) The riff of Ep1 wasn’t good as the Ep2 one, but I greatly enjoyed Mike and Kevin’s hatred of Jar Jar Binks. The riff of Fifth Element could have been better, it was just Mike riffing and about a third of the way into it I found myself saying “Mike needs to talk more – I’m actually watching<\/i> the movie!”<\/p>\n Sunday I was able to get into my garden for a little bit and handle some of the weeds that have popped up over the past few weeks. Then I had to go inside because I wasn’t feeling so hot. Humidity + allergies that had been fought off by Claritin+A\/C for so many days. I ended up taking some Claritin D, which put me into a coma. It ended up working, I stopped being congested, but I felt all numb and sleepy. For dinner we headed out to Greater India<\/a> (yum yum!) before doing some shopping at Whole Foods<\/a> (note to self, don’t shop at Whole Foods on Sunday evening – the selection is terrible!).<\/p>\n Last night we sat down and “enjoyed” the RiffTrax for Reign of Fire. Oh, My, Gosh. What a horrible movie! The riffing was good though, so we were able to make it through.<\/p>\n I love RiffTrax, it’s like having MST3K back.<\/p>\n Sunday I was also able to install Debian on my laptop. I’m thinking of turning it into my development box to replace the crappy HP I have now. We’ll see how it goes – thus far I still need to get wireless working (it worked during the install but not after I booted into the new install…sigh).<\/p>\n The weather today is lousy – warm, humid and rainy. At least it wasn’t too hot, I was able to just open the window in my office instead of turning on the A\\C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So I bailed on the InstallFest.
