Resolutions failed
Jun. 19th, 2008 10:16 pmIn theory, I was planning to get to sleep (or at least to bed) on schedule -- or even early -- all week to help shake off the last bits of the cold. I failed utterly on the "on schedule" bit but do seem to have managed to shake the cough. But Sunday night I was up late catching up with e-mail and newsgroups; Monday, as previosuly mentioned, I met up with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ursule for dinner; Tuesday ... I forget what came up; Wednesday I got sucked into trying to debug some minor little issues on the desktop that may be related to Leopard (e.g., podcasts won't download, conduit file for new Palm program won't install). I picked up a cool little car log program for the PDA: tracks gas purchases, service, etc., tracks trips, calculates mileage. I've been thinking for some time that I wanted to convert to an electronic car log, and the only way it would be convenient would be on the PDA, but it turned out I can't do it in DataViz's Documents-to-go using an Excel file. This is because you have to synchronize all your Docs-to-go files in the same direction and most of the files are ones I keep actively on the computer and only transfer to the PDA for reference (e.g., my book catalog). But the car log has to synchronize in the other direction. So it made more sense to get a dedicated application. (And it can export into a spreadsheet file, so if I want to do anything fancier with the data, that's possible.) Well, you can see where Wednesday evening went. And tonight there were various preparations for Crown Tourney this weekend, including getting the clothes packed and cooking up my contribution to a dinner potluck. (Decided to do a more elaborate version of 2-15thc-cookbooks' "Joutes", which is basically "assorted spring greens cooked in broth with a little bacon for flavor".) But on the up side, I've been getting some yard work in this week (mostly finishing up the re-setting of the brick walkways). Still, I really must slack off a bunch at let the body catch up next week.
