One thing that bites about living in a nice old building is that the plumbing tends to suck ass. During the winter, when the heat is on, the water temp in the shower fluctuates. It’ll be just right for a minute then scalding hot the next, and it will just cycle back and forth. Once the building heat goes off for the summer, it’s just fine.
The other thing that’s come up lately is the faucet for hot water in my kitchen sink has started to leak. So now I need to call my landlord and get them out to fix it. Thank god I just did all my dishes last night.
Seen on CNN.com, Dudley Moore died of pneumonia today at the age of 66.
Update. Milton Bearle was also reported as dead today.
How should I handle my working environments. One thing I like to be able to do is keep personal work and work work separate. The primary way I do this is with my laptop. It comes everywhere with me. When I go into work I set it up on my side table and keep it on all day long. I peek at it every hour or two to see if I have new mail, but I don’t do much more then that.
But now I’m starting to run into areas where the tools I use day to day and then tools I use on a personal level are starting to bump into each other. I want to start using Radio at work. I am more then willing to pick up copies of it for my co-workers to use, since the company I work for is watching every penny. But now I’m going to have two installations of Radio, and I feel like it is starting to get a little confusing.
One thing that would help is if there was a way to access more of Radio remotely. I’d love a way to update my Instant Outline from afar. That would solve a large part of my problems at the moment.
The O’Reilly Network has been running a nice series on how to use the Terminal application. For most of us unix folks out there a lot of this is old news, but there are some interesting. The latest one concerns term files, files that basicly start up terminal and run an application in them. I haven’t realized you could do this. Looks pretty cool.
Due to being ill yesterday I didn’t do much blogging, so maybe I will make up for it all today. One thing that I just read about this morning was an article on Microcontent News about Google pulling anti-scientology ads. The reason they gave was “Anti-scientology ads are disapproved per our policy of no ads that advertise “sites that advocate against any individual, group, or organization.” All of your ads link to the same set of sites which are anti-scientologist in purpose.”
So what’s the solution here. Is it possible to make an anti-scientology site that isn’t outwardly anti-scientology? Is it possible to play by their rules and still be heard?
It’s off to work I go. I still feel pretty crappy, but I want to at least go into work for part of a day. We’ve got a deadline on Friday and while things are all going smoothly I want to make sure there aren’t any snags.
This is something I hate about being sick these days. It’s so hard to tell how much of it is honest to goodness illness and how much is just me being exhausted. This lung thing really does take a lot out of me. More then I admit to myself many times.

Well, I’m jumping on the bandwagon. I now have an instant outline also. I’m such a lemming. But I like it.
As I get deeper into using Radio I really need to learn more about it. I need to look and see if there is a kind of Radio newbies page out there.

Slept half of the day away today. I feel a little bit better. Tonight I plan on watching the rest of the Sherlock Hound DVD and getting to sleep early. This is the first time I’ve gotten really sick since I’ve been on Imuran. I’ve had little one day bug kinda things, but nothing where I felt this icky for a few days.
