Geek Habitat

Justin’s flight home from Appleton, Wisconsin (nearest commercial airport to the EAA Airventure (”Oshkosh”) air festival/fly-in, was delayed so I didn’t get to pick him up at SAT (San Antonio International Airport’s FAA identifier) until after 6 PM last night. So much for his half day of decompression time before Monday, which at least he sensibly had also taken off work.
Anyway, we both have a backlog of photos to dig out from under and it may be a quiet time here on GeekHabitat.com since the server death and resurrection we experienced last week seems to have left its wicked marks everywhere… I spent most of this morning cleaning up broken code around WildTexas.com, and there’s plenty more lurking that I just haven’t had time to get to yet. So much for installing the $400 software (which we got for $330 thanks to a sale) I bought midweek to have running by Friday… It’s still sitting in its .tar.gz archive on my desktop, sullen and alone.

The cats seem to have finally forgiven me for making Justin disappear for seven straight days, and apart from washing yet another Razr, I proved I am at least adult enough to keep the household under minimal control for one unsupervised week.

This afternoon, Justin, I and his parents went to see M. Night Shyamalan’s latest movie, “The Lady in the Water,” and all I can say is the critics and I rarely agree. If the movie deserves any dings it is that it would have been stronger had M. Night opted not to appear in it, but only because we (”the viewing public”) don’t always react well to seeing the director as one of the main characters in a movie… remember “Dances With Wolves”? (Yeah, so I liked that one too… sue me!)

Anyway, it must be a slow night if I’m doing movie-talk. Sign-off…
