New fuzzy overlord! Mystic is much quieter and much more playful than Moira was. Adpoted her from Lost Our Home in Tempe back in December. Wow. Been forever. Anyway… I got a new Lenovo E595 laptop after some misadventures in delivery. Getting it working with Gentoo is a little more involved than I expected it [...]

The big excitement last week was Patrick’s farewell thing on Thursday night. I think almost everybody showed up. This was sort of fun and sad at the same time. Oh well. And, of course, when I got back and took care of Stephanie’s cats, I found that Pinto had knocked a lot of stuff off [...]

Long time between entries, as there’s been a lot of stuff going on. Stephanie left on Sunday for a conference in Indiana. Ordinary work things all week. Trivia on Tuesday, with most of the usual crew, where we got 3rd place. During trivia, I saw that there’s a ballplayer for the Brewers who’s named Corey [...]
