Ticking off those to-do items...

In between working on a couple of additional short items for today (done) and tomorrow (next), there's been a lot of busy work around here.

First there was the sales tax return, a quarterly nuisance that must be done by the 20th (or, as it turns out, the 21st if the 20th falls on a Sunday). Then I checked the status of my credit union account out in California (okay), and called about a transfer that I made online with my local bank, but which did not occur (looks like I'll have to print all of my browser screens for the near future).

Oh, and of course, I reviewed the translation and sent it off this morning.

* * *I had a sort of AHA! moment with the TWiki installation on evkokia. Between rereading an article in one of the Linux magazines from a couple of months ago and clicking around the pages, I've learned quite a bit. I'm also coming to the conclusion that it takes a little while to grok the paradigm, which may be a factor limiting broader use of the idea.

Or maybe it's just me. :^)

Cheers...

Strange weather...

Some thunderstorms moved through the area earlier today, and just now, another one caused the computers around here (except for the desktop, which is on a UPS) to lose power. For some reason, I'd checked on evdokia's uptime today, and it was 45 days; onegin was up for longer, probably 60 days.

Galina and I watched the first part of Helen of Troy yesterday, on the USA Network, and we're getting set to watch the second part tonight. It's amazing how old stories retain their freshness throughout the centuries.

Cheers...

UPDATE: onegin's on the UPS too, apparently, and didn't lose power. (Yeah, I know... big deal.)
