I am in the middle of a new project (more later) that has me doing some stuff at the command line. I do the bulk of my work at the command line, even on the mac, because it’s so much easier to do things with a command line than with point-and-click interfaces.
In lieu of words, another photo-blog entry. I saw these birds when I went for a walk around the nabe a couple of days ago. Pretty.
As of an hour or two ago, I am all caught-up with the great renaming and organizing of my backlog of digital camera pictures. Since we left seminary I’ve taken 2,215 pictures. I took about a zillion photos when we drove across country to move here. Then, I was without a computer for about a month, so there was no way I could organize or categorize them. Then I had this big backlog and it was easier to just dump them than sort & organize them. But now I’m all caught up again.
Today when I was doing some research about clerical vestments, I ran across this picture:

Something about that photo…

Another upgrade to WP. Getting 1500 comment spams convinced me that I really needed to stay up-to-date with the software. “Piece of pie.” “Easy as cake.”
Less than 2 weeks ago, I noticed what good a job Akismet was doing catching my comment spam. Last night sometime I got spammed with 9 comments that slipped through Akismet, so I had to go delete them by hand. When I looked, I saw that Akismet had flagged 1495 spams!

I’d heard that BSG is a lot better now than it was in the 1970s so I thought I’d give it a try. Whoever put that box set together should be taken to the woodshed, though, because there’s this miniseries that they include with season one. So if you’re on netflix it is apparently impossible ever to order the correct disc to start out with. Or perhaps that’s the point — don’t try this with netflix — and the person who put the box set together is a genius.
Anyway, the bit I watched (before deciding that something was wrong and I needed to reboot) looked halfway decent. But I miss the 1970s vintage Cylon-Raider spacecraft.
Uggh. The lad brought it home for the weekend, and the rest of us had it by Sunday night.
I really don’t see much need for comments on this blog. (If you want me to benefit from your thoughts, send me an email. If you want the rest of the world to see your thoughts, set up your own blog and link to whatever it is here that you are commenting on.) But I couldn’t figure out a way to configure that when I set this blog up. So we have comments.

In lieu of actually tending to this blog, perhaps offering a thought or two to the marketplace of ideas, I will fall back on the time-tested strategy of cat-blogging. Here is a picture of Kowalski (l) and Rico (r).
As of this writing, Rico has fallen into the filled bathtub once and Kowalski never. Although Kowalski did hop into the tub once when it was being used as a shower. He didn’t complain the way Rico had, but simply hopped back out.
