New Office

Week of 9/29 - 10/3

Pack up contents of cube and tech library; answer questions for others in software group.

Week of 10/6 - 10/10

Join most of the rest of the office in working remotely while our furniture is moved to the new office in the next building over.

Morning, Monday, 10/13

First day in new office. Brought in new cleaning wipes to scrub down new desk; made sure I had Benadryl to supplement my normal Claritin to deal with new carpet, paint, etc. Have unpacked my stuff, will be bringing in a plant and maybe an old Microsoft poster from home. Wifi's down so I convinced my machine to talk to the net via an old-style cord. Oh, and it's raining.

Afternoon, Monday, 10/13

Work? Or unpack the tech library?

mmm

Spinach goes well in a ham, mustard-seed gouda, & whole-wheat sandwich ...

Conflikt 2 planning

The online registration page at http://conflikt.org/ now allows buying brunch tickets as well con memberships. If you pre-registered at Conflikt 1, brunch tickets weren't available then. Yes, there is a limit to the number of people they can serve, so if you want to do that now is a good time to buy your brunch ticket :)

If you haven't heard, Conflikt 2 features:

Guest of Honor: Seanan McGuire
Toastmaster: Frank Hayes
Interfilk Guest:Lawrence Dean

...plus other performances by various musical talents (I've heard good rumors, but read conflikt for official info).

You can also check whether you're registered at http://conflikt.org/members.php

Amazing food discovery

After having yam fries at Cafe Flora, mashed yams at Coastal Kitchen, and jw1776's mashed yams tonight, I have come to a conclusion:

Yams Are Delicious.
Apparently it's the colored marshmallows Mom would smother them with before baking that I loathe, although I don't think adding the copious piles of margarine, maple syrup, brown sugar and God-knows-what-else really helped either.
