A Weekend of Progress
May. 13th, 2007 08:17 pmLittle was definitively planned for this weekend, largely to have a little time for personal introspection and some time to tackle some pressing domestic and social obligations.
Laundry is entirely caught up, although I do need to do some ironing tonight.
I downloaded & installed OpenOffice on my Linux box, then used it to transcribe all of the C1 tips I recorded at last weekend's Pass the Ocean, Hon square dance fly-in.
While working on various computer projects, I started catching up on my iTunes podcast listening. I usually listen to these podcasts from news organizations around the world over earphones at work but the Linux course this past week put that on hold. I've run through 30 different programs, leaving about 30 more to go.
We've started packing for the upcoming Denver IAGSDC convention. We depart this Saturday but we also have a huge amount of promotional materials and supplies related to staffing our table promoting the 2009 convention here in DC. Towards that end, we have printed, initialized and numbered the 100 early bird registration forms which will be distributed Sunday, May 27.
Last night, I finally attached all of the annual city dangles to my IAGSDC convention badge. This month's Denver convention will be my 6th; while I've faithfully purchased the additional panels for 2002 through 2006, I had never bothered to attach all of them. That task is now done for both![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kentstr and myself.
I finally returned to working with the test IAGSDC web site, testing and preparing to do the 2009 convention registration via this new facility created byabqdan. This system is looking seriously cool, and I'm looking forward to this going live in the very near future... it has the potential to massively simplify future conventions' registration.
kent4str has been finishing his audio/video presentation for the convention. There's going to be a rehearsal for the presentation chez nous on Monday --I'll be square dancing.
I attempted to help a friend configure a new Airport card in his older Mac G4 tower but we had no success: while it said it was latching on his local wireless LAN, the DHCP client was getting a bizarre IP address and no routing or DNS info. A laptop in the same room did get an appropriate IP and routing information; neither the laptop nor tower reported any other network within range. We were baffled and we gave up after two hours.
kent4str wanted to get the hot tub out of mothballs today so it was unwrapped, mopped out and refilled with water. Despite being inactive for two years, it seems to be working well: the pump is circulating water and the heater is gradually bring the water up to 104 F.
Later tonight: dinner, obligatory telephone calls to Mom & Grandma, and hopefully an early night in bed.
