It was nice to see my grandparents again. It has been quite a while. They are buying a house in town, which is going to be different. They have lived in their farmhouse for my entire life. I have explored almost every nook and cranny in the house and surrounding buildings. I don’t know what will happen to the farm, but it’s definitely going to be an interesting change.

Some links to the left are disappearing. I’ll need a good reason to put them back.

I am trying to get it working the way I want, but the path of least resistance is to just stick with what I have.
Of course I’m still trying to get it to work the way I like, and I probably won’t be giving up for a little while yet.
P.S. Stevedist is working fine and can use the usb keyboard and mouse, so you can stop making fun of it.

The photographs I took on Tuesday with the newly purchased zoom lens are up now. I think they turned out well.

Andy and I met today and took some photos around town. We started by main street, which has a lot of cool buildings that are somehow not very photogenic. After getting bored of that, and getting some refreshments at Stomping Grounds, we went to Scheman where we encountered hundreds of high school musicians and many displays from music schools and instrument makers. All State is here. We explored Stephens Auditorium, which is perhaps the coolest building in Ames, from top to bottom as well, which was a real treat. I highly recommend checking out the pictures that Andy has already posted.

I bought this Papermate Pendulum pen last night and I’ve been writing with it for a while this morning. It’s strange and weird looking and i don’t know if it’s really any better or less stressful to write with or anything like that, but it does write smoothly. Also, no matter what way you turn the pen the point always faces down. Surprisingly the head doesn’t feel loose or wobbly when writing. Hooray for gravity.
It’s probably not much good for writing in space, though.

First, before you make fun of me for naming my test distribution after myself, you should know that I didn’t name it. Alex did.
Now that Continuity 4 is up on Ashpool along with Obscura 2, I decided to take my fresh-minted Linux OS for a web serving test run. Continuity, Obscura, and Stevedist all seem to be getting along rather nicely, as you can see from my Obscura test page. Bear with the speed of that server, it’s on a cable connection.
Who needs Apache?

It is here. I think I might disappear for the rest of the afternoon to use zoom.
Now if I get a wide angle zoom I will be set.

Strange film. Certainly interesting in its filming style and score, though i’m not sure that it was really best for it to be a full length film. A lot of the camerawork and location choice was quite neat, but at the same time it could be said that it’s nothing more than a Philip Glass album with pictures.
Not to be avoided, but I’m not sure I could recommend it.

Today around 1:00 PM I made apartment history by cooking the first actual whole meal that has been cooked in our apartment since Sam and I moved in in August. Chicken breast and corn and a baked potato along with a glass of milk. The only thing missing was somewhere to eat it!
