IHB I had a nice weekend in Baltimore, treated myself to a new MAC lipgloss
("Spite"), went to a fabulous Halloween party on Saturday and spent quality
time on the phone with Dave.

Played Trivial Pursuit last night. Was the first time I heard of MAC
cosmetics :P And here you mention them!!
(The question was "What male person did MAC cosmetics have as their
spokesperson in 1995 ( i think the year was)?" Let me know if you want
the answer.)

I'm pretty sure it's Elton John. He's been doing work with the Viva Glam
lipsticks for a while.

I am burrowed under my electric blanket, and the cat is sprawled out on
top of it. It sounds cheezy but it's times like this that I'm happy to
just have a decent place to live, food to eat and people who care about me.
Plus the guy (since "dude" does sound Lebowski-ish) addressed me as
"sweetie" in an email, and that made me grin.

I just completed a double backup and repartition of my main drive in
anticipation of the installation of Panther as soon as I can lay hands on
the CDs.

I'm happier still now (Re#257, not you Taylor!) because I've got 3.4
running on my net-facing server...smoothest installation to-date.
Within moments of opening the firewall, probes starting hitting apache.
No worries.

I have now finished four of what I hope will be only six chemo treatments,
and the doctor said my progress is astonishingly good and the radiologist was
so excited he phoned with the results. What looks like 2"x2" tumors in the
spleen (shrunk from 4-5") might just be voids or scar tissue and we won't nkow
until the next CT scan after the sixth treatment (at which point I might not
need 8 if things have shrunk more). The IV did not hurt as much as last time
but still had to be redone once. Jim's flat tire held air when he pumped it
up to get us home with. We got to meet four nurses as I start before a shift
change or two, and tho none wanted to try a pawpaw one admired our house
photos. As usual, I sat next to people with worse problems than me who were
getting better anyway. They cut one drug dosage in half which might help the
laryngitis or at least the hand numbness. They plan to do lots of CT scans
over the next five years (3 then 6 month intervals) then just once a year.
This sort of lymphoma is apparently relatively easily curable (over 50%).
I am happy that the skin does not peel from all over my body due to treatments
like it did for a cheery leukemia patient next to me (who is much better but
still has trouble with stairs after one month in the hospital and 25 pounds
weight loss.) So who needs a voice.

Re #258: Overall I'm happy with RedHat 9, but I still wonder why TCL/Tk
now uses almost ten times as much memory as it did under 8. I had to
upgrade the RAM in my machine just to get decent performance back.

Been working the last several days doing stagehand work, most of it at the
UM Sports Coliseum for the "Boris Gudenov" thing. Even got to impress people
with my soldering and what bizarre adapters I happen to have in my electronics
box.

I'll bet neither of you have a female stereo mini to RJ-11. I had two,
until a few days ago.

I actually had an XLR to dual RCA female, where one RCA is pin 2 and the other
pin 3. And they needed one, since the original cable had been left in Russia.

Not sure if this belongs here but...
Today I wrote a little javascript utility which decodes base64 and
otherwise unmangles email attachments (ASCII HTML encoding, mailer line
breaks, etc) and displays the resulting content with only a couple of
mouse clicks.
I'm sure it's not terrifically efficient, but it works. It allows me to
scan and disable image links in HTML mail before opening so I can search
the content for things to tighten up my spam filters without sending off
http requests which confirm receipt of the spam.
