2114 - Yep, I'm no longer on call. It's not so terrible, except that I sleep much more lightly while on call, and slowly get more and more tired as the week progresses. So, glad to be done with that for a few weeks. Also good since school starts up again next Tuesday. At this particular moment, I really should log in to the classes and review the coursework that's going to be required. Tomorrow's probably early enough for that. This weekend, two major projects: Migrate the rest of our sites off of Zidane, and get the watering systems up and running, front and back. Together, that should be enough project work, given a three day weekend. Ciao!

2210 - It was brought to my attention that Fox used a screencap from Wargames in their article: China Confirms Existence of Elite Cyber-Warfare Outfit the 'Blue Army'. My nearly first thought was I wonder if the cheat code for the Chinese wargame FPS is "Joshua". Nothing else I can report today. Ciao!

2047 - And the yard is set for the season. Yes, there'll still be maintenance, but the watering systems are set up, so that I won't lose plants I care about - veggies and the hanging baskets are vulnerable to no water on a single day, since they're both raised and drain well. The flowers in the front beds may get droopy, but will revive well. So, working on the watering systems, installing a few more tomatoes and peppers, and getting the lawns mowed ate the weekend. I'll spend a bit of time tomorrow doing further prep work for the first week of school, which starts on Tuesday. Oh, yeah. I also got daynotes.net and daynotes.com migrated over. All that's left from my domains are Marcia's. Time for supper and a shower, but first...


Sigh. A bad week to the be target of IEDs (not that there's ever a good week, but some weeks the insurgents blow up their own asses instead of ours). Our condolences to the families and units of these fallen warriors:

Visit the rest of the DAYNOTES GANG, a collection of bright minds and sharp wits. Really, I don't know why they tolerate me <grin>. My personal inspiration for these pages is Dr. Jerry Pournelle. I am also indebted to Bob Thompson and Tom Syroid for their patience, guidance and feedback. Of course, I am sustained by and beholden to my lovely wife, Marcia. You can find her online too, at http://www.dutchgirl.net/. Thanks for dropping by.
