I took the day off, because I had to have Firestone look at a low tire. Turned out to be a good thing to do: there was a nail in it. When I bought the tires they came with a road hazard warranty so all it cost me was a bit of time, and it's all fixed again.
Watched the Oscars. No real surprises there.
The February Mailbag is up at Chaos Manor Reviews
=================
This is a day book. It's not all that well edited. I try to keep this up daily, but sometimes I can't. I'll keep trying. See also the weeklyCOMPUTING AT CHAOS MANOR column, 8,000 - 12,000 words, depending. (Older columns here.) For more on what this page is about, please go to the VIEW PAGE. If you have never read the explanatory material on that page, please do so. If you got here through a link that didn't take you to the front page of this site, click here for a better explanation of what we're trying to do here. This site is run on the "public radio" model; see below.
If you have no idea what you are doing here, see the What is this place?, which tries to make order of chaos.
Boiler Plate:
If you want to PAY FOR THIS, the site is run like public radio: you don't have to pay, but if no one does, it will go away. On how to pay, I keep the latest HERE. MY THANKS to all of you who have sent money. Some of you went to a lot of trouble to send money from overseas. Thank you! There are also some new payment methods.
