Licks and Tickles
All in all, I had a pretty full day today...
I was up late last night hacking on the linux kernel. I was trying to get
the ACPI patches working on my
laptop. I was able to get it to turn the fan off, but could never get it to
suspend. I finally went to bed around 4:30am, figuring it's not that
important that I needed to pull an all-nighter.
Around 7:30, while enjoying my gentle slumber, I was rudely awoken by 75lbs
of bouncing (and smelly) girl. Dali had jumped into the bed I was on and
decided my face needed a serious cleaning. We wrestled for a few minutes,
while my ears and face were given the most brutal licking I've ever faced!
Brutal licks aside, I understood I had no options. I *had* to get up.
I putzed around and checked on the systems for work. There had been some
power failures yesterday around
campus, but it looks like none of my stuff went down.
After my shower, I went ahead and joined the Sunday Geek Breakfast Crew over at
The Atlanta Bread Company. I spent
some time chatting with Craig about my recent fascination with Macs, and
he did his best to convince me to buy one.
*sigh* -- I think I will just have to wait until next year..
After breakfast, I came back home for a bit. I touched up some of the photos
I uploaded yesterday, then headed out for lunch with Josh. The day was
gorgeous, so we decided to go for a small
little ride.
After the ride, I convinced Josh to swing by the Harn Museum. There is an installation
titled "Culture of Violence" which is about Americas fascination with
violence, murder, and firearms.
I took photos until I was asked not too (whoops!). Some of them made it
to my photo album. One interesting piece was
a series of photos of places where acts of violence occured; KSU was one of the pictures. It should be
in the album.
After the museum, I came home and decided to upload the pictures to the
web-page. I then wrote the photo album cgi
which I'll use for people to view all of the pictures online after they've
rolled off the blog page. The album cgi is still a bit rough, but I think
it's feature complete for my needs... If anyone wants it, they can have it.
Well, the dog needs some food. the cat needs a spankin', and the wife wants
to chat, so I better take off.
