A convenient stopping place...

That's good, as it buys me time to do the additional work received yesterday, but I get ahead of myself.
I hied into the store this morning to give Drew a hand, and stayed until about 1 pm, at which point I went home and shortly found my way into the sack for a nap. I was awakened from the nap by a peal of thunder, the first of what I'm sure will be a number of such peals this year. It was all to the good, really, as I needed to go downstairs and translate.
I love strength analyses. They are so repetitive. First you take part A, figure out where the greatest stresses and strains are going to be (computer programs will tell you this), do a calculation to make sure said forces aren't excessive, and move on to the next part, with the same approach.
Yes, I'm simplifying.
Anyway, I'm about 1100 words ahead of where I expected to be tonight, and that's good.
* * * Dinner was at the kids' place and as usual, I had a pretty good time. Huntür and I amused ourselves while dinner was cooking by rolling a plastic cork back and forth across the table at each other. After dinner, I dialed Galina and handed the phone to Huntür, to let them chat for a while. While the kid still occasionally nods her head while speaking on the phone (instead of saying "yes"), she is still quite a chatterbox and holds her own pretty well these days.
* * * To continue the tale from my post of earlier today, you'll recall I was thinking of installing WackoWiki instead of MediaWiki, so I did. My experience with the former assured me there should be no problems getting it to run, except that when I entered the URL into my browser, I was told I didn't have the right to access the directory.
Whisky. Tango. Foxtrot.
Windows doesn't get persnickety about stuff like that unless specifically prodded to go out of its way to do so, and anyway, the first time I went through the exercise, there were no issues about accessing the MediaWiki directory.
I have to remember to Check Error Logs First.™. I did so, whereupon I was told, in effect, that my Apache options prevented the so-called "rewrite rules" feature from being turned on. At that moment, I recalled that each WachoWiki subdirectory has an .htaccess file that makes sure the feature is on, so I cautiously opened the Apache configuration file, made the tweak, and then recycled the server.
This time, the WackoWiki URL worked fine, and installation proceeded with no further ado. One of these days, I would love to learn the intricacies of rule rewriting; it's as yet a black art to me now.
* * * I never did get to watch that episode of Eyes last night. It turns out that, since moving my sleeping quarters into the spare bedroom, I have not watched more than about 30 seconds of television. (Then again, I'm not exactly complaining.)
Time to go unwind.
Cheers...
