Lack of Progress

Posted at 4:17 pm MST to Miscellaneous

This has been a slow week.

I finally have the server all the way back up: vmware would not run on fully updated Fedora 9 earlier in the week but today I loaded some new updates and it started working again.

Christmas shopping was very annoying. The malls were full but the stores were very poorly stocked. I have finally finished offline shopping, but I still need to wrap everything. I'll ship things out on Monday. I had hoped to ship today, but didn't find everything in time to get it wrapped... I think the UPS Store closes early on Saturday, too.

On Wednesday our company had our holiday dinner at Texas de Brazil, a Brazilian style Churrascaria, which mostly serves vast quantities and varieties of grilled meats. I can eat meat, and so can Shawn, who is currently doing Atkins. The food was delicious: beef and pork and lamb and chicken and sausage.

On Thursday, we sponsored the local IBM Rational Users' Group meeting. Another late evening with lots of food. I risked allergies a little, eating a roll and a couple of Christmas cookies, but I avoided the cheese, and the dips that probably all contained dairy. I need to experiment with mayonnaise some time when I am not pushing my luck woth other things.
