Title: Ode to a small green lump of putty I found in my armpit one

Today's fun Boulder shop: Hangouts. Did you know you can get hammocks that will hold four large adults? Yes, you can. We decided it's time for a hammock in our back yard, since we have two trees just the right distance apart for one. I have always wanted a hammock, and now I have one. It is a large double, and it is excellent... It's big enough for two people, providing those two people really like each other. Just right for lying tangled up with someone on a coolish spring afternoon. Ahhh. I am already anticipating the slackdom.
Ian and I picked up the hammock and walked around Pearl Street Mall enjoying the view. We filled up on sushi and went over to the Art Mart, where I bought a rather nice Celtic knotwork triangle necklace. I am such a sucker for Celtic knotwork. If I had a thousand bucks to blow, a substantial portion of it would go to silver jewelry and anything vaguely resembling Celtic art. I got that from Rebecca way back in high school.
"What is it? The girls? The leather? The machismo?"
They're talking about putting everyone on Windoze at work. Including me. This is rapidly becoming not cool. "Have they forgotten," I queried, "that I am a UNIX system administrator? I do not NEED a Windows box. I do not WANT a Windows box. I WILL NOT USE a Windows box!" *hyperventilate* "Whine, whine, whine..." said my boss.
These Microsofties. I tell you.
Speaking of Winders, the new Mickeysoft guru started today. Our former MS geek is trying to move into development (which I'm not sure is much of an improvement, but whatever turns your crank). He will, of course, never escape. Once a support weenie, always a support weenie. I keep threatening to send tickets over to him even after he goes into development.
I have spent most of the evening getting my Visor to sync up to my AvantGo channels. The damn thing would get as far as identifying the user and then the HotSync would bomb. I ended up having to blow away all my user data on the Speak & Spell and re-sync everything.
Aaaannnnd, next I'm going to install some Palm books off a CD I ordered. Looks like another late evening.
