So, we're moving. Gotta talk to the management tomorrow morning about the contract, we'll probably pay for next month to keep a good rental history and get the security deposit back (which will offset most of the rent next month at least).

In so many way I can't wait to be out of here. I'm willing to live with the inlaws just to get rid of this place. Hopefully the wife will stop having bad headaches - I think it might just be this place (and she has voiced this too).

I can close out the bills, save some money, and then we'll probably get an apartment. I'll look into getting a condo or a town home, but I'm not particularly optimistic. From what I've been reading, anywhere in Colorado is pretty expensive, even the boonies...

Hopefully Mandy moves back at the end of the year like she said she might. That would help the wife deal with stuff.

Got a buzz cut! I think it looks good, but it definitely feels good. Got some work done today. Called comcast and xcel to close the accounts, except for the internet - we might "park" that account at mom's house while we're moved in with the inlaws...

I get my car back tomorrow, grandma's paying for it to be fixed (radiator's leaking, and I'm not taking my car back to Snow's automotive again, they just worked on it because of leaking and it got worse after leaving!).I hope I get the car so I can go to shul tomorrow night, maybe saturday.

This weekend we'll be packing our last boxes after I help mom's work move desks around.

Girl is tired. I love Girl. Girl is nice, she lets me sleep.

Okay, ok day today. My car barely started (it was, oh, 10 F or so). The car decided to behave, though, so for now I'll keep it. Mom thinks I should keep the car, but it's just a sinkhole. We'll see. Work was ok, not terribly productive although Dmitriy now gets to do some of the work that was assigned to me.

I think I'm going to finally start work on this idea I've been having: using Perl, Apache, and mod_perl to create an HTTP Mail protocol SERVER. Doing the protocol should be pretty easy - it's XML over WebDAV (why, I don't know). I don't know what kind of backend I want for the Information Store, though... or how I want to talk to that store. Maybe just some perl code to talk mbox and Maildir formats, and maybe I'll eventually throw in a POP3 -> HTTP Mail gateway and IMAP4-> HTTP Mail Gateway too. Maybe not.

Well, I'm off to bed, and sleep thereafter.

GOT MY TITLE!!!

The title to the place I live. It's home. For now. MUA HUA HUA!

Oh, and a check for $70 or so because I over paid (well, DUH, but that's another story).

Got a new computer desk (already in the basement at the inlaws - no need to bring it here and then take it back over in 2 weeks), a bookshelf from the inlaws.

Got a sweater (my first) and a Target gift card ($25) from my family.

Got a new monitor from Kristin, a $50 gift card to Best Buy from work, and no payments until April or so from grandma. So I can get a new computer for kristin and me!! YAAY

My wife got me a new monitor!! A new 17" one, to be precise. I had been using my mother-in-law's old one, and it's horizontal tuning was slowly going...

I'm happy, and I got my Hanukkah gift. :) THANK YOU DEAR!!!

Linux and wireless cards

Oh, how I wish linux 2.6 supported my DWL-122 better. (okay, at all.) Maybe -test11 will work. The 2.6 kernel doesn't seem compatible with linux-wlan-ng code, and I'm seeing a 'hermes' driver that appears to suppose Prism 2 so I'm hopin g that I can get that working. I want wireless. =(
