or, what to-do list ?
updates to site; overgrown yard; accumulating "debris"; shaving optional; ramblings;
i swear i wasn't going to go here this time, but it looks like it's one of those "best laid plans..." things.
been messing with this site again. added a first shot at video previews to the media gallery. that's not quite working the way i want, and it's missing flexibility as well, but hey, a start is a start. and i can always change the code myself.
what else... oh yeah, community server 2008.5 sp1 is out now, and i'm thinking of applying that. will have to be careful not to bump all these other customizations. it has a big list of fixes and enhancements.
i keep trying to tell myself "do the last yard work of the season" - but it never happens. excuses, excuses. rain to come, wet leaves, long grass. here i sit.
haven't felt like working out or shaving the last couple of days. what's that all about ?
demotivated. as always. tech is to avoid facing other "necessities". i deny their essential necessariness. (huh?)
need new tires. not really a good idea to drive up into snow / ice areas without better treads than i have. i will get to that - when ? can't order / install tires online. *sigh*
some interesting browsing lately, of which only some is found on any of my bookmark lists. best to track my browsing feed. no history to that, unless you've been keeping up, or if you're me and have access to the source. yeah, it's boring twaddle (twiddle?) 95% of the time, but then there are days... unfortunately, i do a lot of browsing that never reaches my google history, being from machines that don't have the google toolbar installed. did a good bit of rabbit-holing over at wikipedia the other day. something along the lines of historiography would be a start. there, it's on the list now too.

part of the trouble seems to be that brief two-day return to work last week. i need to put that shit out of my brain, but it always takes a week or two. was getting a late dinner at the local dive, and i was barely sitting down before someone was in my ear about a local event downtown over the weekend, which was run by the customer i need a break from. they have been exceeding themselves lately in ways i never imagined - and not positively.
