Not much blogworthy, but apparently blog I must.

I haven’t really done much lately - my have a life quotient is pretty near zero at the moment. Other than the rare movie (Kill Bill) or concert (Emanuel Ax) it’s been home, work, home again to vegetate, the odd video game, and on the weekends, deal with the latest house issue. Haven’t been inclined to climb, play music, or move ahead with getting a driver’s license (my latest newest priority). Partly it’s November blues, partly it’s work stressing me out. I seem to exist in a robotic state lately - caught myself losing track of what day of the week on occassion. At least life goes on around me. Mom just turned sixty five and is going to Taiwan and Vietnam for over a month in just over a week. David (the brother-in-law) just turned forty, and is enjoying a semi-permanent teaching post. Wayne and Karen just had a daughter - I guess it’s a good thing they didn’t go with “Chewbecca” (one of my more inspired moments). And Susan dressed up as a blue 2×2 Lego brick for Hallowe’en. Which is, as Greg says, a pretty good indicator.

I put together a new web server/router box. While trying to replace the extremely loud hard drive on the previous model it got into a state where it would only boot with its innards lying on the floor.

So I bought a cute little box made by Shuttle which now happily (and almost inaudibly) sits on my desk routing packets and serving up web pages such as this one. I guess it’s no surprise that when The Geek Test memed its way through Pixar, I scored 35.89544% - Major Geek.
