Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 10:28 PM

Good morning! Today is a spa day for Michelle over at Nashua Oncology. I'll be getting the kids to school and working from home. For those digging out from the snowpocalypse I offer the following: (related link) I've seen it before, but it still brings a smile to my face. 6:24am

For the Chicago nostalgia I'm listening to WLS on the Chumby while I dig through my morning email, revision control sync up, and project rebuild. 10:18am

Installed "glims" on Mac Safari, primarily to enable full screen mode browsing. (Mac Firefox users get this for free in the new 3.6 release). I may have to set this up for Michelle on her hackintosh netbook with its much smaller screen. 11:28am

Got to be a counter critter at the Cafe on the Oval. Stopped for a large Kahlua (flavored) coffee on the way home. It's sunny and a balmy 36°F out there now. Was happy to find out I do get Monday off! This is the first time in many years I've had an employer give that off. For now back to work... 1:29pm

Removing "glims" from my MacBook. While it seemed to have some nice features, I think it has a memory leak. After a handful of hours it was the largest consumer of my virtual memory. Too bad... 3:44pm

Back from a good Step & abs class at Golds. I returned to find Abby helping Michelle on Wii Fit Plus. That's a major difference between Michelle's phase A and phase B chemotherapy treatments. After a day of phase A treatments, she'd be in bed asleep by now, energy all wiped out. 7:18pm

Some absolutely shameless self promotion about the chip I work on: (related link) 7:36pm

Ugh! Off my late night phone conference call. Actually the thing that bothers me about them is not that it's after hours, it's that Michelle has to put the boys down to bed. Makes me feel like I'm shirking my papa duties (although paying the mortgage is a major one too). Still... making sure major phones are not delayed coming to market is important too. 9:31pm

Don't know why I'm still awake. Usually an evening workout wipes me out. I guess my brain is still in overdrive because of my late conference call with the PacRim. Nonetheless good night all! Tomorrow is Friday!! President's Day Weekend! 10:27pm
