Still going after all these years.
First Panther note: some of my scripts don’t seem to work under Mac OS X 10.3. Specifically, Look Up Current Track in iTunes doesn’t work and iTunes2Manila fails because it can’t connect to the Internet. Wonder if Apple changed how SOAP calls work…
Update: Changed or more precisely broke, it looks like, based on evidence from this MacScripter thread. Stay tuned…
Looks like everyone’s favorite underattended Seattle rock and roll museum will be joined in June by another Experience…the Experience Science Fiction museum, to be “co-located” with EMP in the Geary building. Guesses as to which galleries it will displace in the EMP?
Impressive advisory board, too: Greg Bear, Gregory Benford, Ray Bradbury, David Brin, Octavia Butler, Orson Scott Card, Arthur C. Clarke, Freeman Dyson, Harlan Ellison, Lucas and Spielberg, Neal Stephenson, Kim Stanley Robinson, Majel Roddenberry… practically a Who’s Who (and still alive) in the field today.
Got a sore back and a sore arm from mulching the leaves in our side yard this afternoon. But it’s all good; I think the neighbor’s maple tree only has one more good yard-blanketing left for the season.
We spent much of the rest of the weekend working on other projects around the house. I’m finally getting around to tacking up all the loose cords in the living room, putting trim in the spare closet, helping Lisa clean up her home work area…in short, screwing around. Blissfully.
If not for a phone call from Esta, who was tailgating prior to the Virginia homecoming game (thank you, Troy State, for breaking our two-game losing streak), the random decision after a day of driving around to have dinner at Orrapin Thai in Queen Anne, installing Panther, the appetizers at Triple Door to the music of Nick Vigarino (who?) with Arvind and Kim followed by dinner and salsa lessons at the Liquid Lounge…
Ok, it wasn’t such a bad weekend after all.
