08:00 AM: I’m up. My weight is the same as yesterday; 174.0 Lbs.

08:30 AM: Finished tailoring the new WordPress 2.9.2 installations.  For details, click   here.

08:40 AM: Posted the   Disabling Post Revisions: 2010-02-17   piece.

08:45 AM: Posted the   WordPress 2.9.2 Upgrade   piece.

11:30 AM: iPodded for a while, using my 4th generation Nano, and it sounds every bit as good as the iPod with Video, and the iPod Touch.  Fortunately, nowadays, great audio fidelity is not so much determined by the price you pay for the device.  To my ears, even the cheapest iPod Shuffles sound just as good as the most expensive iPod Touches.  Nope, these days, you pay for feature / function; not fidelity. 

01:30 PM: Categorized 277 more posts on the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog throughout this morning.  Now, only 500 posts remain uncategorized. 

05:45 PM: Watched today’s episode of   The Young and the Restless   on the DVR.

06:15 PM: Going out   shopping   this evening with Debbie and Mom.

08:40 PM: We’re home again from our   shopping trip. 

10:30 PM: Talked with   [Emmy].  I picked up four boxes of Kashi Go-Lean Crunch for her; she can’t find the large boxes at the store where she shopps in Pittsburgh.  So I’ll take these to her.  :-)

11:35 PM: Categorized 234 more posts on the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog.  Now, there are just 266 posts left to process.

11:37 PM: Okay, my right wrist is sore from all the mouse moving and clicking today, and I’m quite tired.  So I’m off to bed.  Take care, and I’ll be back out here bright and early to start a new day, fresh.  Good night.
