Well Donette left me to babysit the dogs last weekend while she flew to Vegas for Susan’s wedding.\u00a0 Left to entertain myself, I will generally either A) watch TV or B) dial into work.\u00a0 I did a healthy amount of both over the weekend, leaving me relaxed but a bit lacking on update material.\u00a0 Incidentally, she is STILL in Vegas.\u00a0 She took a bump on last night’s flight, leaving me alone for the evening once again, but this will provide us some travel money for the summer.\u00a0 That is assuming she doesn’t hock\u00a0her vouchers to somebody for $25 so she can play the slots.<\/p>\n
Friday was movie night once again, despite my bachelor status.\u00a0 The format changed slightly from the usual selections though. \u00a0The matinee showing was “Master Of The Flying Guillotine<\/a>.”\u00a0 This was some foreign language kung fu movie from the mid-70’s, complete with horribly dubbed english and ridiculous sound effects.\u00a0 It brought me much joy.\u00a0 The late-night show was “Saw III<\/a>“.\u00a0 True to most any series, this one gets progressively worse with each new title.\u00a0 It passed the time though.<\/p>\n Saturday I spent most of the afternoon working or flipping channels.\u00a0 I went down to the Brooksider to watch the MU game but it was crowded and generally annoying so that didn’t last long.\u00a0 I walked the dogs.\u00a0 Had some potato chips for lunch.\u00a0 Boy I’m struggling for material here.\u00a0 I guess I will have to break down and pull out the wild-card:\u00a0 The ever popular “What I Did\u00a0With My PC Last Weekend.”\u00a0 Yeah, there’s a crowd favorite.\u00a0 Well, since I know everybody cares, it just so happens that I set up VMware<\/a> and got it all up and running nicely.\u00a0 This serves a few practical purposes, not the least of which is finally getting rid of the PC that sits in the basement.\u00a0 It lets me run Linux images under my XP machine, so I can do the occasional tinkering without needing multiple machines or dual-booting.\u00a0 Quite nifty actually.\u00a0 I loaded Fedora FC5 for managing my firewall, and Ubuntu 6 for playing around.<\/p>\n Sunday doesn’t really bear a recap.\u00a0 I went down to the Brooksider, and while much quieter, there wasn’t anything good on TV to provide a diversion.\u00a0 Funny how those things seems to coincide.\u00a0 I sorta payed attention to the Ohio game while enjoying a delicious hamburger, and called it an afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n Since the most popular vote on the recent poll was “more pictures” I guess I can throw out a few random photos as a substitute for any actual content this week.\u00a0 Here’s a couple of pictures of my new motorcycle:\u00a0 1<\/a>, 2<\/a>.\u00a0 I still don’t have any pictures of the Scooter, and Donette took the camera with her to Vegas.\u00a0 I’ll also include a few obligitory pictures of the dogs<\/a> and cat<\/a>.\u00a0 There you go, I posted some material.\u00a0 Perhaps not in the approved format but you can’t have everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well Donette left me to babysit the dogs last weekend while she flew to Vegas for Susan’s wedding.\u00a0 Left to entertain myself, I will generally either A) watch TV or B) dial into work.\u00a0 I did a healthy amount of both over the weekend, leaving me relaxed but a bit lacking on update material.\u00a0 Incidentally, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
