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.

Today’s Business: 2009-07-01

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Mom drove me to Altoona to get the train to Philadelphia.  It left on time, at 9:49 AM, and arrived at 30th street station in Philly at 2:50 PM.  I just love five-hour train rides.  They used to bore me.  But now, with the iPod, Victor Reader Stream, my cell phone, and naps to keep me occupied, the ride has become quite pleasant in my middle age.  I reached [Jack's] place just off of City Avenue at around 4:15 PM.

We talked about the foot party coming up tomorrow, went to Allegro’s for supper, and then hung out at his place, social networking throughout the evening while drinking pop.

Unlike my last two visits here in May and June, we had no rain during the day, although there were a few isolated thunderstorms overnight.

Today’s Business: 2009-03-24

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Today we watched the movie:   The Death of the Incredible Hulk.  It surprised me that   [Mentat]   enjoyed it as much as he did, because he used to rib me for being such a big hulk fan back in 1979, when we lived together at McKee Place.  But he said it was a great movie although he didn’t think his girlfriend would like it, since it has a sadder-than-expected ending. 

Then, I showed him the 4th generation iPod Nano and he liked the speech.  He picked up how to use the thing quickly and within less than ten minutes, he knew enough to use it on his own.  The built-in speech helped a great deal there. 

I also showed him my Victor Reader Stream, and he liked that device so much that he’s talking about buying one himself so he can download NLS digital talking books.

Then, in the evening, we watched President Obama’s press conference, and I was glad to see that   [Mentat]   is not today the staunch republican that he was in the 80s.  Yep.  He’s finally coming around.  :-)

03:00 PM: I had my last visit with the “love doctor” therapist.

10:00 PM: Worked   Mentat’s Corrupt Mail File   problem.

iPod Nanos for Christmas

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

I bought  [Emmy]  an iPod 4th generation Nano for Christmas. She was tickled. She likes its ability to announce the songs and items on the menus. It’s the most accessible iPod to date. However, she has lots of questions about how to use it in conjunction with iTunes. So, I think I’ll go and buy one for myself, for learning purposes only you understand. :-)
