A student came into my office today and looked at one of the pictures I keep on my desk.
“Is that you in that picture?” he asks.
“Yeah, sure is. From back in the day…”
“Wow, you look really different in this picture.”
“Yeah,” I chuckle, “Yeah, it was a while ago now.”
“Yeah, I mean, you look… a lot happier in this picture.”
I laugh again. “Well,” I say, “That’s, uh… ha. Well. Yeah, there’s probably some truth to that observation.”
Not a bad Saturday, even if the rest of it goes to hell.
It’s a rare thing for me to set some goals of wrestling with technology and actually manage to knock them all out in less than a day. When I got up this morning, I wanted to fix some busted plugins on the blog, maybe upgrade to WordPress 2.7, get my desktop machine with a freshly installed copy of Ubuntu 8.10 fully rokkin with all my favorite software, and also make that second display work just like anyone could expect on Windows.
Finished everything by about noon and still had plenty of time to do some prep for this evening’s podcast, AND create an “album cover” for the Last 80’s Rewind show.
Carry on, and make good on your Saturday…
