Week-ending Tidbits

  • One of the things my friend Paul and I discussed when I was in St. Louis last weekend was how quickly time seems to fly now.  “The summer just started; It’s the 4th of July; It’s 8-8-08.”  The worst part about this seemingly speedy passage of time is I seem to keep having more and more things to do.
  • I broke my Jimi wallet last weekend, and I need to get a new one.  Looks like the place where I bought it no longer carries them.  Additionally, my friend Paul insisted on replacing it, so I let him do it on Friday.  My new wallet should be arriving sometime this week.
  • This weekend has been another maintenance weekend for work, and I have my share of conference calls to be on for work.  I do not believe this will be nearly as bad nor as time-consuming as the last one.  One is already down, and there is another one for tonight.
  • Speaking of work, it will be nice to get some people back from their vacations.  At the same time, I have some other deadlines–somewhat self-imposed on account of a project deadline–that require my attention.  It’s been a bit difficult with some of the preparation for this weekend, but I plan to have most of the items I am responsible for completed tomorrow.
  • While waiting around for my conference call yesterday, I replaced the door sweep on my front door.  It was rather painless, but I found it much easier to replace with the door off the hinges.
  • One of the other things I did yesterday was restore my photo collection locally from what I had on my Flickr account.  I never really did this after my computer was stolen, as I figured that I did need it with my photos “in the cloud.”  Still, I realized it was convenient to have those photos locally.  Thus, I turned to the tool FlickrDown.  I highly recommend it.

    For future reference, bluehouse on Fleet Street sells Jimi wallets…

    That’s actually where I went last time, but I was checking the Jimi website and did not see them listed. Also, I think they were carrying the Jimi and not the JimX. Still, though, why didn’t they appear on the site? They did last time I checked.
