Funny looking word. Anyway, that was me for the weekend. Lots of couch time, but then, with a couch like mine, do you really need to be anywhere else? Except that the weather was supposedly awesome out. Great. The big project completed over the weekend was getting email set up on Argon. It's pretty cool. Via IMAP, I can get all my email, which means I get to use Mail.app, which I'm pretty excited about. Still have to figure out SMTP though, since I'm pretty sure spam filters don't like emails sent out from an ISP user's machine (and that's Internet Service Provider, not Integrated Science Program). That also means I turned off Xenon, which is great. No more hard drive whine. I probably should have recorded uptime though, cause that guy just kept going and going. So the data center's pretty quiet now. I was thinking I should try and get a bigger hard drive in Argon, but I've got that firewire drive bay just hanging out, so I should just use that. I've also started importing my email archives to Mail.app, which should be an interesting exercise, considering my email goes back to '98. Just fun to have in a format that's easily searchable. Importing is a long process though. And Mail.app crashes more than I think is good. No listserving though. Not anymore. I should probably let the lists know, but nothing good's been going through there as of late, so maybe not. MacBook should be showing up on Friday, so that's something to look forward to. Especially to see if having a portable home directory has worked, which means I won't have to copy anything over by hand, which would be awesome. RAM and Hard Drive got delivered today, as Other World Computing continues to be awesome. Cleared out the DVR, watched The Interpreter (thriller that Sean Penn just had to be in), The Cave which was pretty good, but had a bad copy so ended up watching it almost live on Saturday, Memron which was interesting and background noise while working, and Rebound which was actually pretty good. Did some laundry too on Saturday. Sunday went out to the burbs for lunch with the Abandos and Argaos, (including Tracy's brother, Gabe, and sister-in-law Sanya, but not Tracy), at the Bolingbrook Country Club, which passed muster. Put a deposit down. Checked out the church where the ceremony will most likely take place, before heading back into the city for church of my own. Put some chicken and pork in Adobo marinade, and ended up watching White Girls.
