this makes me want to re-rip all my CDs to a higher bitrate (e.g. > 160) or different format.

Apparently Someone thought I needed a reminder not to have too much fun in the snow. I fairly routinely turn around in the next driveway up the road (vacant lot) so I can drive past the mailbox and easily get the mail out. Tonight I pulled in to turn around and couldn’t get back out. After much shoveling, I was finally able to get out but I was rather toasty from the experience … and I needed to shovel my own driveway to boot. At least I didn’t have to call someone to pull me out. For anybody who is wondering, yes I was driving my 4Runner… and I even had it in 4-low. After getting out there were 4 nice ice patches where the wheels had been sitting and spinning.
Today started way too early (5:20). Was hoping to get a decent nap in today but had nappus interruptus after about 1/2 an hour …. and a power nap wasn’t going to cut it today. It’s now 11:15pm. The child has been very frustrating today. If tonight doesn’t go well, I’m probably going to be very groucny (even more so than I am now). Thank God that my work experience has given me a fair amount of patience.
Most of today and yesterday (a day off) was spent producing a DVD of our church Christmas program. Yesterday was editing, today was making DVDs … I had about 50 requests. While writing DVDs I poked at drupal a little bit as a possibility for the church website. Last year I spent Thanksgiving break re-writing the website because I wasn’t happy with any of the CMS packages that were available and I wanted other people to be able to contribute content. Now the site has been online that way a little over a year and I have yet to have another person post something. So much for that effort. So now I’m thinking it may be useful to have a forum, but I don’t want to write a module for one myself.
Work has been hectic. We’re gearing up to start moving off one of our major file servers to a new file system that’s WebDAV-based (Xythos Digital Locker). That will involve moving about 700GB worth of files for at least 7000 people. We’re running into deadline crunch time (needs to be completed by start of Spring term) so I haven’t been following up on the lower priority tasks that are part of the project.
Well, the daughter appears to be sleeping now so I’m going to go try and do the same.
made a post that reminded me of this…
