I think these cancel each other out somehow. Anyway, yesterday I:
- ran gigabit ethernet from the back of the house to the front.
- properly set up the Mac Mini under the TV. Front Row is quite nice when you have that sort of bandwidth.
- discovered that cable snakes make such jobs not only easier, but possible.
- theorized that a movie about cable snakes on planes might be more realistic than (although probably not as exciting as) a movie about snakes on a plane.
- Reencoded the first season of The IT Crowd for the iPod, expecting it to work streaming through Front Row. (It didn’t, so I still have to figure out what is going on.)
- added album art to a bunch of MP3s.
- learned how to use my Dremel tool.
- learned that the plunge router (nothing to do with networks, you geeks!) attachment really does turn the Dremel into a passable router. (I was skeptical of this.)
- fixed a broken lamp by making a nice little wooden base, although now that I look at it, it really should be stained or varnished.
- set up kitchen shelving to store appliances and cookbooks.
- signed up for weekly bins of locally grown organic produce from Organics to You. The first bin comes on Tuesday.
- drank entirely too much beer at The Basement, as their happy-hour pints are bigger than an actual pint and Eric and Brian kept buying me beer.
