me *hearts* new mini heater

A few weeks ago I picked up a small heater at Lowes as a) it was on sale, b) I've got circulation problems so if I get cold when typing my fingers go numb. Amusingly it still gets a little cold in Florida occasionally, so for $11 it was worth picking up to have available if it was needed. Today the room I was going to be working in was a bit too cool for my liking - the windows had been open to dry paint, so it was a perfect time to try out the heater.

Back to normality

After several weeks of trying to do everything yet accomplishing nothing (or so it seemed), this week we've turned ourselves around and started living better, starting with a stronger separation of church and state, er, I mean work and home. We started off with a trip to the chiropractor, picked up breakfast, then spent some time painting the bedroom together. Now I'm going to work for a few hours and later will take a break away from it, then work some more - rinse, repeat.

I hate spam

Just a little note to say that I hate email spam. I really do. I get about 190 of them per day, which all have to be verified as spam as my filters occasionally block something that isn't spam, maybe two or three per week. So as a result of the economics of spam (the numbers haven't changed much in six years), I have to check about 1300 message per week to ensure that I don't miss anything important.

Lunch_fu.orlando was great

Today's lunch_fu was great, chatted with other geeks married to foreigners about being geeks married to foreigners (uh, I'm the foreigner..), Macs, and a variety of silly things. I also got to chat briefly with Ryan Price, who I've not seen in months. I'll be picky about when I get to go again, though, as unfortunately by 4pm I'd only gotten in 4 hours of billable work.
