Ah Heatwaves :)

For anyone living in most parts of California, you’ll be enjoying the usual summer warmth - tonight it caused a power blip - which in turn left my home connection to the net inactive for about 2 hours (power came back, but waited for a while to be sure it was stable) .

I waited to turn the iMac back on and came to the conclusion that I have been keeping the iMac on too much - especially in really HOT conditions, which isn’t great - but 2 hours ago it managed all server connections - so I have changed that - it’s all back to Linux which is now running VNC so I can VNC in and restore my session and manage all the SSH over VNC and in turn, swap back and forth to SSH via bfp, grace, and “livingroom” (it was a very uncreative computer name) - but now it’s simply a VNC away, and it works like a charm, tabbed SSH via Gnome, and all my fancy MRTG graphs etc. it looks good.

A interesting weekend, and Monday - we got my sister moved to her in-laws garage & they are staying there for the week as they wait for the key to their new house - and my sister is doing the last bits of clean-up on their apartment - then its Saturday at 6am for the final move from Garage -> New House - so it’s very cool, and some minor research into rental trucks, their AAA discount got them .44 a mile vs. the .99 they spent on the last truck, so very cool - so  that should be fun, just hope I get enough rest between now and then - still have sore muscles.

Do keep Rosie in your prayers, she had a job interview for a position at a lawyers office, and she really wants (and needs) a change of pace, if I had a higher volume of telephone calls, I’d hire her in a heart beat, but 99.9% of my day to day is handled via email - but who knows how it’ll turn out, I know she’d love it, and I think it’d be good for her both in learning and for her school schedule - but keep her lifted up, hopefully they’ll give her a call back!

I made $35 cold hard cash today, by putting forth a suggestion on a web problem - I so need a tip jar LOL it paid for ice cream for the floats tonight (thanks for hang’n jake) a nice cool down from today’s 109F - still have $27 left, that’s lunch for me and 2 others at Kosmo’s - I really need to offer to re-do/host their website - and make them online ordering (I’d use it) but so far so good this week, still some sore muscles, reminds me I’m alive - or something like that - but I do want to get back out to ming once my knees stop hurting, be nice to ride in the early morning hours.

Well it’s 4am, and I am still up, which seems to be the norm lately with the heat, but I think I am going to stay up since the power kicked out the rent’s alarm clock, so don’t want people late for work - but who knows my pillow may beckon soon. Hopefully the power lasts, as the projected high is 111F - man I love cali Night folks.
