I spent a lot of time yesterday (and today) ripping CDs so that they can
be packed. The ones that aren't in FreeDB, and a few of the ones that,
for some reason, my Linux box refuses to read, got sent over to the Mac
mini; it worked on a lot of them. I'll have to write a script to
translate the filenames to match the conventions I'm using on Linux, but
that's easy.
We had an electrician come in to look at our fan/lights -- the fans work
fine, but the lights don't. Turns out it's not the remote controls, it's
the stupid ballasts. I looked at one -- the insulation on the wiring
harness is brittle. Should be easy to replace, in that case.
A little random hacking in the makefile templates, prompted by the fact
that the Makefiles in
theStarport.org are hopelessly out of date.
Some good links in the notes, several of them music-related.

* 15min: add shebang to Tools/*.make so sloccount can properly identify them
* moving: some organizing, lots of ripping amid the CDs.

* *lots* of ripping. It's low duty-cycle, but eats up a lot of mindspace anyway.
quite a few CDs that were forgotten in piles, including many con CDs.
: some CDs that aren't in freedb are in cddb; hopefully .aif files (generated
by iTunes) are usable. See Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media
