Skipped last week-Thanksgiving. Not much went on-other than the usual Thanksgiving stuff.
Recap: took taichi instead of Pilates Sat. 11/20-sub wasn’t there. Took the boys to see Spongebob that afternoon. Setup a standalone Disney games bit on their computer-now they play that incessantly (my wife called, and one guess what the boys are doing right now… Last week: picked up some more eMusic albums-I have a few months worth of stuff to buy-at $10 a month it’s not bad to get 40 songs-that’s about 2-5 albums per month-$2-5 per album-not bad… Took Weds. off-went to L.B., had breakfast and shopped a bit. Thanksgiving-went to friends in L.B. for dinner-kids were great. My parents came over Fri., cleaned and went to see “Polar Express”. It’s a gorgeous movie. They still have a bit to go on the facial animation-things were flat and restricted-I think it has to do with limiting the amount of flex points. The faces need to be more mobile and detailed. They have to work on finding the optimal amount, size and placement of polygons to make the faces “come to life”. Don’t remember Sat.-no class, I think I just lazed around with the kids-my hip was acting up. Sun. I stayed home and cleaned the front bedroom and closet-we have mice so Erika is freaking out about cleanliness.
I’m still sick of politics-I finished Michael Moore’s first book and am working on the latest-if his polemics contain even a shred of truth, Chimpy has got to go, but half the country is marching in lockstep off the cliff, lemmings that they are. Nothing to do now but wait and see what happens, and maybe try to effect change at the midterms. Iran is next on the invasion checklist. Yuck.
I got some kOOl life programs, a copy of 7 zip, mapresso, JDK, Wiki and axis and working on a copy of GnuWin and Solaris 10. I love open Source. The problem is time, of course-I’ll put GnuWin on this computer so I can type Unix commands, and my last computer will get Solaris 10. The rest, who knows?
