09:15 AM: I’m up. 

11: 20 AM: Created audio journal episode:   AJE-2010-01-23-10-49   on the Victor Reader Stream, which is a continuation of last night’s discussion of the rational sides of fear.  I can’t wait to start writing about this more in the blogs.

02:00 PM: Received mail:

  • Yellowbook telephone directory (1)
  • The 2010-02 edition of Promo Only’s  Urban Radio series.
  • Mom’s 2009 W2 for her pension.
  • The 2010-01 & 2010-02 edition of Analog Science Fiction magazine.

 

03:00 PM: Worked the   Christmas Lighting, 2009   project.  All remaining outdoor Christmas lights have been taken down now.  The strings from the west fence need repair yet.  But I’ll work that, piecemeal, throughout the year. 

03:55 PM: Created audio journal episode:   AJE-2010-01-23-15-32   on the Victor Reader Stream, where I speculated on how I might have acquired this fear of reaching out to beautiful women.  One time, as a ten-year-old boy, a female babysitter admonished me for singing that chick-a-boom song (by Daddy Dewdrop) to her.  She didn’t take this very well and in retrospect, I’d say that she reacted to my musical overture way more negatively than the situation called for.  Nonetheless I was hurt, and suspect this to be one of many unpleasant lessons through the 1970s, where I learned not to be so forthcoming to women about my interest in them; in fact, to actually fear it. 

04:00 PM: Now, it’s nap time.

06:55 PM: I’m back up again. 

09:00 PM: Worked the   Christmas Lighting, 2009   project.  Replaced lots of bubs on the strings I removed from the west fence.

09:20 PM: Took the   weekly system backups.

12:00 AM: Talked with   [Emmy].

01:15 AM: Browsed on eBay, looking at spare WiFi routers and access points.

01:35 AM: Heading for bed now.  So enjoy your night and I’ll catch you later on, right back here.  Take care.

    Weekly Backups: 2010-01-23

    Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

    Weekly backups of all my blog sites completed. Total disk space backed up: 50.4 MB, which includes all databases, site code, and static pages. That’s an increase of 8 MB, from 42.4 MB last week.  

    The reasons for the rather large increase in backup size this time are:

    1. The new   WPSBC Alumni Association Web Site   resides in my collection of blogs, and so, from now on, their data will be included in my backups.
    2. All blogs were upgraded this week to the latest version of the WordPress software, and a version upgrade typically means a larger software footprint.
    3. Plus, I’ve added my usual amount of content to the blogs as well.

    The growth continues…
