Progress!

I haven't been idle. That Work Thing keeps intruding, but I have actually made some progress on my list:

  • Install Bacula on Progeny, configure it to backup Tricia's machine and the other servers on schedule. (Installed, not configured)
  • Pull all my O'Reilly books together on one shelf, take a picture, bragblog about it. (organized, just need a picture)
  • Get the Saturn into the dealership and have them reset my radio. (Locked out after a jump start.) (Done)
  • Call T-Mobile and see what deals they can offer me to switch. (Left message, they haven't called me back)
  • Call Verizon Wireless and see what deals they can offer me to stay. (They can't offer me bluetooth sync to my laptop: points off for that!)
  • Move the script backing up my Bugzilla site from Athos back to Progeny. (Done)
  • Get some lumber and start putting walls in my basement. (Starting to get a plan)
  • Rearrange my office so the servers are outside the curtain to cut down noise on phone calls. (Nope, but moved the noisy switch to where it's farther from my phone)
  • Buy a new battery for the digital camera so Trish can use it to take more pictures. (Trish did this)
  • Get a newish computer to run Unix and X-windows the way they were meant to be run. (May have a line on some old servers from work)
  • Figure out why my "sitemonitor" script notifies me about a particular site every night, even though I had programmed it to ignore that change. (Solved it by just not monitoring the site anymore)
  • Exchange the fullscreen Indiana Jones DVD set I received for Christmas for the widescreen edition (thanks, Mom). (Trish took care of it)
  • Get back with the Lindens to update the TongShan site I helped them set up. (Talked, but they had to go adopt yet another!)
  • Write the Great American Application, make millions, retire early. (Still in progress!)
