Today and yesterday

[unixronin]

I'm paying the price today for all my walking yesterday.  My foot's been hurting like the devil all day, and my lower back is giving me trouble too.  We so need to get back to San Jose so I can go see Todd Bragg again (the best and most competent chiropractor I've ever had the good fortune to run across).  There's been times I've hobbled into his office on crutches and walked out unaided.  Literally.  He's that good.

In better news, Sourceforge approved my request to take over the icbm project for my Perl ICB client.  The previous icbm project was for some deranged idea of an "internet-ready" filesystem that not only had variable block sizes, but changed block sizes on the fly on a block-by-block basis as files were written.  It was created about two years ago, put on "temporary hold" six weeks later without a single file or document being released, and then quietly abandoned.  My only-half-kidding guess is the six weeks is when the guy's drug supply ran out and he came to his senses.  I've heard some daft ideas in my time, but this guy had to be outa his frelling gourd.

Anything else?  Oh yeah, we got the hole where some of the ceiling came down temporarily patched with some plastic-mesh roll fencing.  It won't accumulate moisture and grow mold like the spongy fiberboard ceiling material did, it'll keep the glass-mat insulation (what little there is) in place, and it only cost six bucks for a 25' roll (the least we could buy).
