It's actually been kind of nice getting my hands dirty and moving desks and stuff around the office while the new conference room gets finished up. Less thinking, more movement, and sometimes, more immediate feeling of accomplishment. But now it's pretty much done, and I've got to figure out how to wire up the table and room to make it pretty and useful. Should be interesting. But there's a chance I'll have to come in this weekend, and with Tracy working as well, my parents were nice enough to take Lucy for the weekend. So while we'll miss our 1 year old walker, we're planning on going out to dinner, at a reasonable hour. LIke when we were younger. Yay. Date night. Oh, also for work, which is apparently where I bring my old Mac hardware to die, or get used for testing purposes. Going to try and repurpose the old Mac mini as a conference room machine, since it's small, hopefully powerful enough, and fits behind the wall mounted TV. Just have to get Boot Camp installed, which is actually my first time. Ended up doing a complete repartition and reinstall. Hoping it goes smoothly after that. Also, USB extenders over Cat5 don't seem to work for webcams. Might have to run around to find a VGA-HDMI adapter this weekend. That's the only thing that's left. I think. Wait and see. Going to try and go to Gilt Bar tonight without a reservation. That should be interesting. Otherwise, I'm planning on coming in to the office this weekend, maybe both days, to make sure everything's all set and perfect. Besides work, found out Sports Night is available from Netflix Watch Instantly. Watched 2 episodes already. And that laugh track is annoying. But the show is awesome. I wish you could 1) get it without the laugh track, and 2) from iTunes Store. Started reading Ender's Game. And reading some comics too. Irredeemable is pretty good. Global Frequency is actually available officially through Comixology, so I've been buying those as they get released.
