Appointments and Visits
Good morning. I'm at the dentist waiting for my usual six month appointment. Claire also has an appointment later this afternoon.
Came into our humble little office this morning with a bit of a surprise: Not only do we have several graphics managers from San Diego on site. I knew that. But Eric Demers is on site today! The local gravitas just went up significantly.
No bullying, No ‘H8’, unless it's towards Mrs. Jane Pitt, I guess. (related story) Ah, the Tolerance and Diversity Crowd.
For Google+ fans the new app for iPad/iPhone now supports Hangouts and Events. Or at least that's what I'm told. I don't actually own either.
<snarkasm>I'm expecting to see Episcopal pews be packed this weekend now that they formally support blessing same sex unions. 'Cause ya' know that is what was holding them back from greater attendance.</snarkasm>
Geek talk: I've used GnuScreen on and off for years, (back to 1992??) but still think it's pretty awesome for CLI/terminal guys. See also tmux. They are both like the primordial version of Microsoft Remote Desktop combined with multiple desktops.
Michelle dropped Claire off at work. Now she's taking the boys to the pool.
At first glance this story, “Woman starts professional snuggling service,” seems like it could be a cover for (ahem) more illicit activities. My friend TJIC writes back, “If you want someone to rub up against your bits while insisting that it's not sexual, the TSA is cheaper.”

After work I went with several senior office staff to dinner with our visiting guests at Papa Razzi in Concord. Just listened to Al Kresta on my drive home. I'm noticing my phone is improving with little release updates Sprint/Google quietly do. It used to be that using GPS on the phone tended to swamp its abilities to do other things at the same time. Tonight though it was streaming audio over 3G and the GPS was keeping up just fine without a hiccup.
Got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. Claire called to say she'd be working late but would get a ride home. Good night all!
