Log
07:00 AM: I’m up.
07:05 AM: Read some of the Happiness Now book overnight.
09:35 AM: Upgraded to Avast antivirus software, version 5.0.545 and the DynDNS updater, version 4.1.6.
09:45 PM: Signed [Emmy] and myself up to be notified vie email when Verizon FiOS comes to our respective areas.
10:10 AM: Facebooked for a half-hour. Up to 110 friends now. Goal: 1000.
11:20 AM: My weight held steady again since yesterday. It’s still 176.5 Lbs. See here for a summary of the progress on this goal so far in 2010.
12:00 PM: Added the Facebook Tid Bits: 2010-05-06 and Facebook Tid Bits: 2010-05-07 pieces.
02:00 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
02:35 PM: Received notice today from Mom’s bank, that her medical insurance company is attempting to make monthly drafts against the wrong account number (an extra zero is on the end). So I logged onto the insurance company’s site and deleted the old (erroneous) account information, and added the correct info.
04:30 PM: Got in touch with [Brandon] again on Facebook after nine years, and he and I emailed back and fourth for the past couple hours.
05:00 PM: Added the Facebook Tid Bits: 2010-02-05 piece.
07:30 PM: Tidied up the bedroom and set up my powered Altec stereo speakers on the chest again. I had moved them to make space for [Emmy's] new stereo. But now that all her Christmas gifts have been transported to Pittsburgh, I’ve got that space back again. The iPods sound great on these speakers.
07:40 PM: Created audio journal episode: AJE-2010-05-07-19-30.
08:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of NBC’s Nightly News on the DVR.
09:15 PM: Watched today’s episode of Dr. Phil on the DVR.
11:08 PM: Finished up on the phone with [Emmy].
11:10 PM: Facebooked throughout the day. Friends count: 121.
11:15 PM: Getting ready to do a hard software upgrade to all my blogs. I have the latest version of WordPress installed. But certain security threats found in older versions are not completely eliminated when you perform an automatic WordPress upgrade. So, for each of my blogs, I must delete all the old software files and replace them with the protected ones in the zipped WordPress package. Configuration files and content that I’ve provided are exempt from this. But still it will take a few hours to accomplish. I plan on doing that tomorrow.
11:17 PM: For some reason today, I felt like I was walking in water; all tasks seemed a little harder to accomplish. Some of this is that I’m attempting to write on a topic that I should learn more about first. So I’m going to put the piece I’m currently writing aside for now, and come back to it in a few months. Perhaps then, I’ll know enough to finish it without spinning my proverbial wheels.
12:00 AM: Listened to Internet radio via the iPod Touch and the Altec speakers in the bedroom. Sweet sounds.
11:40 PM: Okay, I’m quickly moving toward the horizontal. So good night and take care. I’m off to read some of the Happiness Now book. So, see you again tomorrow.
