Done yesterday (20110723 Sa)
0723 Sa * up 7:55; W=196.6; drugs, nose, teeth, laundry, light * make ceviche bay scallops (currently on sale at Costco), a small red onion, a ripe jalapeno, 2tbsp salt; and juice of 3 limes, 2 lemons, and an orange. * gather MAC addresses for WOL, DHCP -- just use arp. * install wakeonlan use /etc/ethers, which etherwake uses; maybe -f option in wakeonlan set up in /users/starport/Config/etc * buy: Central: 2TB drive - they didn't have the TP-link switch ST2000DL003-Seagate ST2000DL003 2TB SATA3 3.5" 64MB 5900RPM "Barracuda Green" - Runs very cool and quiet. @ The Wordsmith's Forge - That Thing I Give You Has a Name * 1:30 Blaine Owensby, Jeanie. World Financial Group some useful information, but probably not. MLM = warning sign * walk: Rose Garden. Just around once, since it was getting late * dinner: salad, scallops (sauteed with butter and garlic), corn * build: rolling shelves for algol and its UPS. Posts on the corners. Hacked together out of old printer cart. Very crude, and will need redoing soon because of splits. But it works, sort of. Has the shoebox on top, and the UPS underneath. I'd call it a successful prototype. : All the casters on my Aeron chair have disintegrated. Simultaneously. * 15min: puttering in the office. Sorting box by the file cabinet. @ Johnny Garlic's In Roseville, about 2:30 away off I80. Peppermill is 4:30 * 15min: more decluttering. The crate is empty, consolidated into a small box plus a couple of odds and ends. Still needs sorting, but better. ! 11:15 noticed that I'm actually feeling pretty good right now. Accomplished? Lots of puttering and a walk; I'll buy that. @ Ravan's Rants - Surprised? No! : starport: (fileserver) nova seems to be running around 1-2% of its UPS capacity, so about 17W, now that I've taken off the external backup drive. That was running another 10W or so. Like. * Bath 11ish; bed well before midnight. Win?
A good day. Around 11:15 I noticed that I actually felt good about how much I'd done, so... win. And more than 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep last night, too. If this were a novel, something would go horribly wrong today.
Central didn't have the inexpensive GigE switch I wanted, but they did have the best price in town on the 2TB drive. It's the new "Barracuda Green" line, and runs very cool and quiet. Big win. Or it will be, once I get it installed. Now I'm debating whether to get another to use as my main drive. Nova, the fileserver, is running around 17W right now. Like.
I also got one of the two remaining carpentry projects "done" -- cobbling together a little cart for my desktop box plus its UPS. I'd have to call it a successful prototype rather than a finished project, but it'll do for now. I cannibalized the old printer cart, which has been kicking around (and taking up space) literally for decades.
In between, I made lunch (scallop ceviche) and dinner (sauteed scallops) -- scallops were on sale at Costco this week. Took a 2.5mi walk around the Rose Garden, and did a fair amount of decluttering in the office. It looks like a lot, because I consolidated the plastic crate that's been sitting in front of the file cabinet down to a small cardboard box. Which I hope to get rid of today.
So it was a good day, finally. Um... ok, about 3 weeks after ending my experiment with a reduced dose of SSRI. Right.
A couple of links in the notes.
