Thu 10:16am might get warmer after switching the thermostat from "cool" to "heat". Wish the switch were actually labeled though. #
Thu 3:55pm I get a nice zing every time I speed up a database query by many orders of magnitude, even if just by adding an index. I'm easy to please. #

Wed 9:51am can't get (Muppet) Bohemian Rhapsody out of my head. My near-constant mental soundtrack can be fun but tends to turn into a curse over time. #
Wed 10:03am Of course the simple solution to the mental soundtrack issue is to override it. First Donnas, then Elvis Costello. last.fm/user/rfunk #
Wed 2:45pm really wishing Yahoo Mail support would *read* the problem reports I send them before sending back their canned response. #

Tue 9:09am suspecting that a doughnut & bagel delivery service could be successful. Or at least popular. #
Tue 12:51pm Would've preferred my eyeglass frames not breaking. I wonder if there's a good optometrist downtown. #
Tue 2:58pm Good way to filter talk submissions, and good way to get Javascripters interested in going to JSconf: bit.ly/5f3yEG (via @ladyfox14) #
Tue 6:22pm Just wasted a bunch of time on a badly broken Kubuntu update. Workaround: use gdm instead of kdm. #ubuntufail #

Mon 8:29am do not want to go back to work today. #
Mon 4:52pm accidentally skipped lunch today. Good: It means I can leave earlier than usual. Bad: Leaving earlier means more traffic. Must eat though! #
Mon 7:33pm would like to encourage hungry cats to go on a hunt for the mouse that's somewhere within the kitchen walls.... #

Sun 7:54pm Just traded my old laptop to a friend for a bunch of farm-fresh food. I fear I may have gotten the better end of the deal. #

Sat 11:10am Found the Off switch for the toy singing fire engine, but too late: 50 miles later I still remember it. #
Sat 11:20am Amused at Sydney's excitement in The Sock Store. Kinda like a kid at a toy store. #
Sat 9:09pm Made it home! Along the way noticed some interesting conditioning I have regarding Cambridge OH. Glad we missed the cold Ohio weather. #

Fri 9:07am Watched Zack&Miri last night with the cousins-in-law. Really fun movie but we had to give up on the endless deleted scenes by midnight. #
Fri 9:05pm Found myself at a pro hockey game. It's quieter & less chaotic than the houseful of kids. #

Thu 11:08am Great headline juxtaposition: "Pro- immigrant donations rise" with "Dobbs considering Senate run". Lou's future doesn't look so bright. :-) #
Thu 11:25am Feeling like I still haven't recovered from yesterday's 9-hour drive. Though I'd probably feel the same if we'd flown. #

Tue 11:47am impressed with the way those not responsible for implementation can make handwaving sound smart. #
Tue 12:19pm watching a security system get installed on my office door. Wasn't told before they started. I hope they give me the access code.... #
