Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Had a smooth commute down to Concord, MA listening to more of "Snow Crash". I decided to take advantage of the Golds' "New England Alliance" and take a Step class at a location about half a mile from this office. 10:45am

Had lunch with a few coworkers and a few former coworkers from AMD at Il Forno. (related link) 1:23pm

At my last office I'd setup a personal TiddlyWiki to scribble down procedures that I need but often forget the fine details. I really should have set one up the day I started here. Now after my vacation, I'm trying to remember the tools used to navigate the two main computer farms I use: one in San Diego, one in Finland. And yes, of course each one is different. I've finally set up a new TiddlyWiki again... 2:32pm

Finally got around to setting up some Microsoft Outlook rules to deal with the firehose of email that occurs within Qualcomm on a daily basis. 2:53pm

Sometime soon I must fix the script which generates my Today's Gospel. (related link) I'm guessing the webmaster for the US Bishop's website has messed with the character encoding... 4:30pm

I've started a new script for work this afternoon. I won't go into the details. Once again I'm writing it in Perl. I'm often tempted to try it in Python, but it always seems like it's a bad time. Like deciding to learn to drive stick shift on your prom night. 4:53pm

Back from an Opus Dei Evening of Recollection. Ready to get some sleep. Good night all! 9:17pm
