Another relatively quiet night, back out at Tracy's. Her mom made corned beef & cabbage. Good stuff. Finally figured out what the problem was with tMac, not a good power strip. When plugged directly into the wall socket, it slept and woke just fine. So, I'll be bringing one of mine over tonight. Trish and Kevin, her friends from St. Louis are coming up for a quick trip, would you believe IKEA's closet store to them is in Bolingbrook? So we're having dinner with them. Also bringing over an additional keyboard, since the one I gave to Tracy kind of sticks along the left side, like the Tab key. Driving home last night was awesome. The roughly 45 minute drive home had continuous flashes of lightning. Very impressive. Never really got bad directly around me, but always seemed to be close. Very very cool. Wish I could have stopped, taken photos, and just watched. It was awesome. Also thankful for the storm because it's much more pleasant to be outside. Oh, and congrats to Puck, who's sitting at 100,001 miles. First time for me. Only took 10 years, pretty much all of the time spent in a city taking public transportation. Those miles are just going home or ultimate related. That's pretty much it, with additional mileage because of girls. Very satisfying. Getting closer to getting the MacBook setup, which I'm now calling Carbon. Portable Home Directories work a whole lot better over 100 BASE-T Ethernet than 802.11b/g. A whole lot better.
