I don't have anything particularly amusing going on just now that is pertinent to April Fool's Day, but there's always an RFC, so here's one of two from this very day: Internationalizing IPv6 Using 128-Bit Unicode. If those terms aren't in your weekly vocabulary, then you're probably not going to find much distressingly funny about the other end of the link, but I had a chuckle or two. We had a lovely week, with my niece Alex joining us for much of it. She got some quality museum time in, and saw some friends from elsewhere. She also joined us…

Well. Busy week. Work and patching and appointments filled my week. We attended The Glass Menagerie opening night Friday at Annapolis Shakespeare. That show is a joy. All four actors nailed their parts, but special props to Claire Schoonover's portrayal of Amanda Wingfield. She was triumpant! I worked on chores and some infrastructure builds in the woodshop over the weekend. Up this morning at 0630 to finish up the production systems patching. And we just got home from the Broadway on Demand cabaret at the theatre. v.tired. More later or next week, but first... * * * Our condolences to…

My friend Bob Thompson died last night of complications from heart and lung issues. We hadn't traveled to see Bob and Barbara for a few years, and I'm a bit sad about that, just now. We'd speak on the phone or via email a few times a year, though. Bob was a smart, smart guy, pleasant to converse with, and uniformly helpful to folks: family, friends, and neighbors. We're going to miss him. Here's his obituary on the funeral home site.

G'day. Yep, I was busy. Sunday we did the shopping, then I started in on chores and such. About halfway through the afternoon, I saw an email that Annapolis Shakespeare Company needed a hand. It was the first load-in day for the set of the next play, and the expected carpenters had bailed on them. So I gathered some tools and went off to Annapolis to help out for several hours. I got home before 10, though... I went back the next day and gave a hand for another few hours. When I wrapped up my participation, all the walls…

First post! Of 2018. Lunacy continues in some quarters, in others, it's just bloody cold. Yes, yes, 3°F is winter-time heatwave/shorts weather... in Fairbanks. Here, it a nuisance. But we're due for some warming up this week, which I'm looking forward to. We got a lot done this weekend, including the dismantling and boxing of the holiday paraphernalia. That buys me ten and a half months until I have to pull those out of the garage attic again! I roasted a pound of Kenyan beans from Sweet Marias, after picking up the mess left from a stack of trim falling…
