- I neither bought nor read the latest Harry Potter book, keeping up a tradition going back a decade.
- Still slogging through the after-effects of moving, unboxing various boxes and throwing much stuff away.
- I decided I no longer needed the ticket stub from U2's 1984 appearance at the Aragon, or the stub from Yes' appearance at Poplar Creek in 1983.
- In keeping with my weird rant Everything is detritus , I threw away hundreds of photographs. A hundred photos of my old family home, random photos of Poughkeepsie in the '90s, my Benet Academy Trouper of the Year award from 1984. Just. Not. Necessary. To. Keep.
- Our Australia trip is still on. Frisket and Sailor will get dropped off in Boston around the 12th, we leave for SFO on the 14th. After a night in SFO we flap our arms madly for 14 hours to SYD on the 15th. After a couple of days in Sydney, we hit Melbourne for a week. Still looking for advice, ideas, cautions, etc. for Melbourne.
- Finally got the new Apple Airport access points set up earlier this week after getting the new software installed. Apple seems to be taking the Microsoft approach to software with its Airport Utility (more complex, less useful). Biggest complaint: they removed the ability to bulk upload MAC addresses for use in access control. The function is still there in a limited braindead fashion, but I'm not manually reentering 30+ MAC addresses.
- I did not buy an iPhone. Still mostly liking my Nokia E70 of which I shall post a review some day.
- Both dogs were sick over the weekend. I will not go into details. They are both better now. I personally am glad to not have had to walk up and down multiple-flights of stairs all weekend.
