Done yesterday (20100407 We)
0407 We * up 6:40; W=196.8; drugs, nose, teeth * water day @ The Great Con-ola (from @rowanf) : Barnard isn't charging its battery. Grump. Will try deep discharge. ~ turn off Alhambra. 1-800-492-8377 acc't 2788 5334 9599 49 11:29 Colleen called to say that she'd handled it with the delivery guy * mac mini installed at work. Setup in progress. Very quiet. @ gmcdavid - Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, and the long road to the iPad * walk: 3 or 4x around pond. Nice weather. A couple of smiles and hellos from youngish women. What's with that? @ NYTimes Ethicist: Not Unethical To Download Unauthorized Copy Of Physical Book You Own -- illegal, but not unethical. The law should catch up. @ Explanations to common Java exceptions (from (coworker) Sergei) * schedule maintenance for Honda - maybe Friday, so can walk to get it Sat. : letting barnard discharge down to 2% didn't help. :( http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/document?docid=A9E3A15597A04AFBB02EE16785D39C5C running diagnostics in utility partition. SMBIOS battery test says ok. Note: does not charge when turned off, either. express test says: (repeatably) Error code 4400:011A Msg: SCSI_0-0000_DISK_GENERIC-_MULTI-CARD - Target not ready Hmm. was 2%. Now 3%. Charging when in test utility? : and now my uSD drive is missing. :( :( & upgrading Argo (after replacing dead ethernet cable in LR) * sort 2009 HSX receipts * preliminary level adjustments in Norwescon concert recording
A good walk, and we finally turned off our bottled water account now that we're using a filter -- much cheaper. On the flip side, my netbook isn't charging its battery. GRUMP!! Works fine on AC power, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the battery itself.
I started upgrading Argo, my Thinkpad A30, to the latest Ubuntu. *sigh* It'll be nice to have a living-room machine with a decent keyboard, though.
Good links under the cut, as usual.
