Year: 2009

12:25 pm-Friday-pretty quiet. I had to look at an issue with the inventory and one warehouse that didn’t get processed-it’s OK-have to create 2 tables on the fly. Last night-home, kids dinner and to bed. More R&G. Questions game. Dinner, bed lateish. Up, kids to school, to work. I finished writing up my latest dream journal-now to the old one. This is a long project.

Listening to: DN!, Akashic Crow’s Nest, Glass, Tuu, French, Frith, etc., Marley, Negativland, Legendary Pink Dots, Gultskra Artikler, Richard Thompson, A3, Weezer, Eno, Residents, Dead

5:25 pm-Thursday work is over-pesky query still kicking my butt. Helping QA, checking on things. Another day. That plus mess with relatives (pot calling kettle black), and AJAXification. Yesterday-home, dinner, Rosencrantz and Guidenstern, questions game. Kids to bed, TV, computing, late to bed, up early, late to school, to work. Two freelance web prospects. Time to go.

Listening to: DN!, David Sylvian, Tori Amos, Brahms

4:41 pm-Finishing up. Not too much going on. Bought some books with a gift certificate from my parents. Dinner, to bed last night, hard to get to sleep. Up today, kids to school. My 4th toe on each foot stings when I walk. Work, lunch, work. A day much like many others.

Listening to: DN!, Eno

5:12 pm-The day is over, time to go home. Yesterday-home, dinner, kids to bed, tidy kitchen, to bed earlyish, restless sleep, up, to school, to work, meeting, bank, Fry’s, back to work-got another CR done. Oh, and in the past 8 years, 4,897 Palestinians were killed by Israelis, 1,062 Israelis by Palestinians (source). This doesn’t include the current conflict, where 13 Israelis and 933 Palestinians have been killed. I deplore killing in general, but this is much harder on Palestinians than Israelis… Plus, you can’t let fear of a threat that is perceived but not actual run your life.

Listening to: DN!, Todd Rundgren, Zwan, Brainscapes, rage

5:19 pm-Monday work is over-a few things in process, a meeting. Not much else. Quiet weekend-kids played at the neighbors’, church Sunday. A mess with relatives and war. I brook no compromise on the evil that is war and killing. Once you use the tools of evil, you become that evil. Sorry. The Law is pretty much immutable on this. Thinking otherwise is delusion. Karma is absolute. The only thing that transcends it wouldn’t kill, ever, and understands that the killed has chosen to be killed to relieve it’s own debt of killing. It’s pretty simple, if you don’t kill, you don’t get killed. Ahimsa is the core. Anything else is stuck in the basement.

Listening to: DN!, Roger Eno, Residents, Takeshi Nakamura, Thomas Dolby, Residents, Sekaa Bina Remaja

5:04 pm-Friday. Time to go home. Got a lot done today. Last night-home, kids to bed. Sleep. Still hard to get to sleep. Matt has pinworms, so he stayed home. Up today, Colin to school, to work. Didn’t get my webcam working in flash.

Listening to: DN!, Peter Gabriel, Latin Playboys, Gluck, Primus, DN!

5:22 pm-Another day-working on inventory stuff. Finished up the last of the LP conversions. Now more tape dumps. OK. Yesterday-same ‘ol-up, kids to school, work. We did have a department party-holiday lunch, stuff, played 3 tunes in Rock Band. Home, kids to bed, to bed early-hard to get to sleep and wiggly legs. Cats messing, up, kids to school, work. Exciting, eh?

Listening to: DN!, Clag, Glass, Gershwin, Harold Budd, Infinite Wheel, Jefferson Starship, Lombok, a bunch of Starship, Cream, Interview with the Vampire, Morton Subotnick, Big Head Todd, Art of Noise (running from the storage unit gives me a much wider variety of tunez…), Rush, Legendary Pink Dots, Phil Collins-aaaaaaa!!!! skip, skip, skip! <massive shudder> where is Brand X when I need them?, Vangelis, Tenacious D, Residents (better), R.E.M., Solar Explosion, Rush, Cake, Yermi Kaplan and Haya Samir

Listening to: DN!, Eno, Pink Floyd, Babe the Blue Ox, Tori Amos, Tool, Albanian lullaby

5:40 pm-Monday-time to go home. Quiet work day trying to get this nasty query working. Cleaning up things too. Weekend was: laze, sleep, not much else. We cut up our Christmas tree and some other branches. No church, hanging out mostly. Erika got her hair cut.

Listening to: DN!

4:56 pm-Time to go home. Quiet day-they had a power outage overnight and everything shut down-it took until 2 pm for it to come back. So new years was quiet-kittens and cleaning.

Listening to: Takeshi Nakamura, Loren Nerell, Brahms, U2, Gluck, DN!
