IHB Costco was grovy and took back my Full-screen edition of the the Matrix
Reloaded and let me purchase the Widescreen. How bone-headed was I?
IVHB after a hellacious commute, work is going nicely, I have a class in an
hour and my tummy seems to have settled down. Woo hoo!

RE#266 - What was the application that required 1/8" F to RJ-11?
RE#267 - That's a handy connector to have.

I'm connected to Grex right now via ssh from the Terminal application in Mac
OS X Panther. So far it seems very cool, except for some weirdness with the
infrared port.

I hear Panter uses xterm for its Terminal, rather than vt100. One of the
disadvantages of that is that xterm uses an alternate screen, so text
disappears after being displayed by less.

Hmm. Full screen applications in Terminal do not appear in the
scrollback buffer at all. The default term is xterm-color.
I can't seem to find the .profile so I can edit the settings...
I'd like to change the shell to csh, but I'm useless in vi/vim and
chsh runs it by default.
On the plus side, the spam filter in Mail is great.
Downside, I can't seem to find javascript debugging features in
Safari...

It was a good week for certifications. I got my USA Hockey referee's
card in the mail this week, and then on Saturday/Sunday, I completed the
required dives and earned my Open Water SCUBA certification.

You can almost certainly override chsh's default editor choice by
manually setting the environment variable VISUAL (or if that doesn't
work, try EDITOR) to your preferred editor. Changing it in your
.profile will of course make the change permanent for your account
but there's no reason why you have to make it permanent to get the
desired effect.

I was keen on getting an OS X machine eventually, but Apple's upgrade
policies are starting to make me less enthusiastic. Apparently there
are some security holes that they don't plan to fix in 10.2; the only
solution is to pay $130 to upgrade to 10.3. This is the same kind of
crap Microsoft was pulling 10 years ago.

IHB I spent Wednesday listening to Janacek, smoking a primo cigar, reading
The Atlantic and Harper's, and drinking an entire pot of coffee myself.
Well, there were errands in the morning and afternoon, but I completed them.
Only one cat demanded lap space: What did I do to deserve this break?
Hooray.

Wow. That sounds like a nice way to spend a day. Well, except for the
cigar part.

IHB Valerie took the time to answer some nutritional questions for me, as
eating more vegetarian seems to be working really well for me. IHB I am down
55lbs in 10 weeks, with no evil side effects. IHB one of my attorneys is
getting married in a few weeks - she's such a peach - I'm glad she's happy.

55 pounds?!? Wow! That's great! :)
I'm with the boy, and our friends threw an amazing dinner party last night.
It's been an awesome Halloween so far.
http://www.livejournal.com/users/saltatoria - for more about the special
Halloween dinner and such. I'm too lazy to type more details.

Re: #287
Last i heard, Apple has denied, in writing, the rumors of "no more
security fixes for 10.2". Supposedly the company that announced the
holed in 10.2 is in Microsoft's back pocket; i've heard nothing on
whether Redmond's behind the "no fixes" rumor. (Which would have
been a "apply shotgun to own foot" policy for Apple to follow, but
they've made stupid mistakes too.)

The third act of the ballet, "Serenade" (choreographed by George
Balanchine) was just stunning. My friend Skeeter, who is the
assistant technical director on the tour, was able to get out of the
theatre in time to accompany me to a Halloween party after the show,
at which a lovely time was had by all.
The costumer for the tour, a Brit named Declan who is also an
armorer, raved endlessly about my armor. I think I was the only
person in the whole Power Center who was wearing a costume but was
not directly involved with the show. I certainly drew a lot of
interested looks wandering through the packed lobby in leather pants
and boots, steel shirt and woolen cloak.

We had the first clear weekend day we've had in a while (last weekend,
by contrast, we got 12 inches or more of rain in 2 1/2 days) and so
[my sister] Cathy and I took her boat out for a ride up Carroll Inlet,
a long narrow bay that's perhaps a couple of hundreds yard wide but
runs thirty miles up into the middle of the island. We first put down
crab pots and then went and set some shrimp pots in much deeper water.
We'll go out again tomorrow to check and see if we caught anything.
Usually it's pretty easy to catch your limit of crab around here but we
haven't been crabbing up Carroll Inlet before and this is the first time
we've tried for shrimp/prawns period, so we're not sure what to expect.
We went out tonight to see if we could see the aurora but although people
have been telling us it's been out all week we've missed it every time,
including tonight. That's OK, though, it was a beatiful cold clear night
and once we got away from the lights of the city there were spectacular
stars and even a few meteors.

This is a big step towards getting a pilot's license, something I've
been wanting to do for a long, long time.
