Michael now has a date for his hip surgery: December 10th<\/p>\n

I got a 21″ monitor! They were getting rid of them at Michael’s office. It’s still a CRT, but it’s got less wear and tear on it than my 19″ – no more having to use a monitor that sometimes makes weird noises and has to have the brightness turned all the way up.<\/p>\n

I got a jury summons. The timing on this was pretty horrible, the whole tooth thing had me stressed out already, now this? Arrgg…<\/p>\n

Michael got an iPhone. His boss has had one for a while and is moving forward with buying them for the staff, Michael got his a bit early after an unfortunate accident with his Razr.<\/p>\n

We went out for sushi last night, very good.<\/p>\n

I got my share of the Ubuntu Aluminium Case Badges<\/a>. Very spiffy.<\/p>\n

I went to a Philadelphia Area Network Technologies User Group<\/a> (PANTUG) meeting this week. There wasn’t a presenter so it was all pretty informal, I got a whole history lesson on the group. It’s primarily Windows folks, and I don’t hang out with Windows people that often, so that was interesting. I got to have the classic Windows admin vs Linux admin exchange of “Why would you bother with a command line when there was a GUI that can do it for you?” “Why would you mess around with clicking through a GUI when you could just type a command?” And I got to ask about Vista, which wound them up into a storm of how horrible it was. The second half of the meeting was moved to a local restaurant, where I ended up sitting with the two people I knew (who are linux guys) and had a nice time chatting with them. My visit to this group was primarily for networking purposes, I’m trying to get a feel for the local technology groups so I have an In for spreading news and resources.<\/p>\n

I think that’s it. It was a busy week and I’m tired. We don’t have any plans for the weekend so far aside from errands and little things. I have to do some serious housecleaning of my office – it looks nice to the untrained eye, but my computer needs to be opened up and dusted out, and my desk drawers are turning into an unmanageable mess…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
