Log
08:00 AM: I’m up. My weight is the same as yesterday; 174.0 Lbs.
10:30 AM: Worked the WPSBC Alumni Association Web Site Revamp project.
10:50 AM: Heading out to Mom’s eye doctor appointment, shopping, and lunch. I’ll return this afternoon sometime.
02:30 PM: I’m home again, starting the laundry.
04:00 PM: Tested [Emmy]‘s IRIS Internet WebRadio with this new Ethernet cable I purchased this morning. It works well. We’ll probably just use Ethernet instead of the WiFi, as the Ethernet connection works much better on this device, and requires no router adjustments be made, to gain proper operation.
05:50 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
06:45 PM: Updated Mom’s med sheet. She’ll be taking a little less diuretic per doctor’s instructions, ans I’ve adjusted the sliding scale we use for dispensing her Novolog insulin, based on recent readings.
09:00 PM: Watched the 2009-10-25 and 2009-11-01 episodes of NBC’s Meet The Press news show on the DVR.
10:30 PM: Talked with [Emmy]. We’re planning my visit. We figure we’ll run to the grocery store a few times if the snow isn’t too deep, and we’ll watch lots of TV and movies, and she has a few computer issues for me to investigate and solve hopefully.
11:55 PM: Fiddled around with the sitemap.xml display problem on the Tom’s Views blog. It’s never displayed properly, apparently because the URL to the required XSL style sheet file is not included in the sitemap.xml file when it’s generated. Interesting that this works properly on all my other blogs. Investigating.
12:35 AM: Copied the code files from a working blog (for the sitemap.xml problem discussed above), into the Tom’s Views blog. After a short delay, this appears to have fixed the issue, though I can’t explain how or why. I downloaded this Google XML Sitemap Generator plugin from the same location for all blogs. Hmmm. Perhaps some line noise corrupted a file or something. Anyway, it’s fixed now and hopefully, this fix survives the test of time. We’ll see. 
12:40 PM: The last of the five laundry loads I’d planned to do today is finishing up now; it’s a blanket for my bed. So as soon as that’s done, I’ll make the bed and then get right into it. So take care, and I’ll catch you out here again later on. ‘Night!
