mildly productive day. I made an appointment to get my hair cut. Just a trim, I am not getting it cut short. I started my garden. I bought one red, one yellow and one orange dandelion like things (i managed to pick up three pots with out a name tag on them. 2 pink mini rose like things (I have the tags for those but they are outside and it is dark). The 3 dandelion like things are now in a large pot together and the 2 rose like things are in a window box that sits on my back porch.
I also put up a new glass shelf in the bathroom.
And finally I am about to put a usb 2.0 card in my desktop machine so I can download and upload music to my ipod.
For me this is a productive day.

All I heard was a crash as the cat jumps at the window. Then I see what she is chasing. I yellow bird is perched on the other side of the window looking straight into my bedroom. The cat pounces again. The bird doesn’t flinch, somehow knowing that there is a sheet of glass between it and my confused cat. This goes on for about a minute then the bird flies away.
I took some shots but I will have to wait for the film to be processed.
Sara is now looking out the window wondering where her new play toy went.

Geeking out today.
I bought a 30 day ssl certificate for iwasdot.com to test that I could get everything running. I now have imap over ssl, ssl over smtp and https running. I have 30 days to convert to full ssl cert.
I also saw spiderman 2 today at the uptown in DC. I seem to be running back and forward to DC even though HY isn’t living down there at the moment.

Well thats me finished running networking cable in my house. The front bedroom was a lot harder than I thought it would be. The existing cable was run between the new ceiling and the old ceiling then went through wood stud in a single small drill hole, So instead of buying an extra long drill bit I just ran the networking cable next to the cable line. Its not where I wanted the network cables to go but it is now done. All the cables are terminated at sockets in the rooms and RJ45 connector in the basement and are currently plugged into a switch and hub. Each room has 3 Cat 5e cables run to. I didn’t run anything the kitchen. I couldn’t think of a good reason to do it 🙂
So thats one thing to strike off my do list. Things still left.
Do something with the garden.
Do something to route the exhaust fan and the extractor fan in the bathroom to somewhere other than the loft.
Find out why the light outside the backdoor doesn’t work. I looked and couldn’t find anything obvious.
I thinks thats the main things.
