Dazed...

I don't know what it could have been that I ate last night that gave me a case of heartburn, especially one that made itself apparent at 4 am, but whatever it was took its sweet time causing mischief. I awoke to an absolutely sweltering room (the heat hadn't kicked off during the night), and then bellyached my way through the heartburn until about 5:15, a few minutes short of when my alarm was supposed to go off.

So, I did the only logical thing... I went back to bed.

And dozed my way until about 5:50 am, after which I took a fast shower, skipped breakfast, and left for work, leaving about half the stuff I'd intended to take with me on the bed. Fortunately, my badge was around my neck.

It's been a slow day. The high point of our shift was a regularly scheduled one-hour long on-board training exercise to simulate a response to a fire (like a fire drill, except here, the idea wasn't to leave, but to stay and fight). In order to make sure nobody misunderstood what was being said on the loops and why, all exchanges were prefaced with "For training purposes...," which made our job just a little harder, but not by much.

It's hard to believe the week is almost half over (since we work a 7-day week, Wednesday is not "hump day"). I'll need to play catch-up once I get home today... or maybe I'll just go to sleep early.

* * *I found what turns out to be an upgraded version the Wiki installed on my Zaurus at Killefiz. The added bells and whistles include the ability to encrypt pages, and to create tables. I'll have to go back and find the few mods I made to the original Perl source of the earlier Wiki version, and then maybe I can use the new code.

Generally speaking, however, the idea of using a Wiki as a PIM is working out. If I can integrate some CGI, that'll be even better.

Cheers...
