- Today was beautiful, almost too beautiful. Almost 30 degrees in the shade, sunny all day, too warm really. My apartment is pretty well shaded and very well insulated, so it’s often 10-15 degrees cooler inside during the summer. My father’s house in Ohio was the same way, inexplicably; in almost every other respect we bought a house that turned out to be under-insulated, under-specification, and, in some places, unfinished.
- I sent a modified version of the CIBC “settlement” agreement back to the woman at customer “care”, modified in that I blacked out the confidentiality clause. I predict that our next phone call will go something like this:
Cora: I’m sorry sir, but this is just a good-will gesture, something that we’re doing to try to help you, and you cannot modify the settlement. Phil: Go to hell. - I accidentally used NS4.x to check the formatting today; boy does it ever botch its attempt to render my CSS. Back to Mozilla, and I should really fix the launcher.
- I really identify with Jamie’s portrait of the hacker at home today. I will identify somewhat with this soon, too, but I suspect only peripherally.
- I hate my oven. Unless I’m extra careful to turn it on extra slowly, the gas blows the pilot light out. That’s incredible! And incredibly dangerous!.
