Weekly Wrap-up 2005_20

The weather was grey and drippy early in the week but finished up clear and warm. Quite nice actually.

We did Dim Sum on Sunday. We had 7 people. I had asked for a table for 6 (there were 5 when we arrived; two showed up later) so we could squeeze 7. A good time was had by all. Dim Sum is good; Dim Sum shared is better.

Dim Sum followed by a nice nap with pussycats is best :-)

The meat department of our favorite grocery store has a daily selection of "ready to cook" choices. We've finally gotten around to trying these and have done so twice so far. Rich bought a rolled pork thing stuffed with sausage (last week) and I picked up a wild-rice-stuffed chicken breast roll this week. They're quite good. Just paint with olive oil or pesto or garlic and pop in the oven.

I found a new home for a pair of HP 320LX WinCE palmtops that I've had sitting on a shelf for quite a few years. Someone on the freecycle list was asking for an older used PDA. I think he got more than he'd hoped for! The HP 320 LX is older and not tiny but it's a nice and has an integrated keyboard. I liked it at the time but soon got tired of how difficult it was to sync to a Mac and bought a Palm III instead.

I gave my old Visor Prisms to two people at the Company a week or two ago. Slowly but surely we reduce and rehome.

Rich has a Job!

Rich got a call to start a short-term contract. If they like his work they'll extend the contract. He went down and worked Thursday and Friday. Whoopee.

(Finally!! Rich first talked to these people nearly two months ago! It's been "probably next week" since then...)

I've been playing with iCalendar publish and subscribe. I discovered iCalShare (as well as Apple's iCal info and calendar library pages) about a month ago. Now I've started publishing my own calendars (privately; sorry) so I can then subscribe from another account. For example, I can subscribe to my "Personal calendar from Work, removing the need to keep track of appointments in multiple places.

This week I read Hidden Truth, by Dawn Cook (second in the series). I'm enjoying this series (and the people in it) very much.

I also watched A Series of Unfortunate Events a second time so that Rich could see it.

In between and around the rest, I've had almost enough naps and plenty of snuggles with the cats. There have been good meals and interesting conversations with Spouse and friends. I've had a few chats with my Dad (their ISP was down for two days last weekend. Gasp!) and exchanged email with my Mom and sister.

Onward and Upward.
