Thu Apr 9 07:32:21 EDT 2015 I went to bed an hour late, but slept OK. I kept thinking about the geometry of hexagons last night. So much so, that when I woke up I scribbled this in Gimp: ...which (I think) is actually mathematically true, despite my sleepiness during drafting. Word of the day: APOTHEM, the distance from the center of a regular polygon (like a hexagon, perhaps!) to the midpoint of one of its sides. Goals: Work: - Refactor vm backup shell scripts Done. We'll see how she runs tonight. - Schedule Exchange upgrade with HR Done. We're on for the 17th, 18th, and 19th if we need it. Questions: - In bash, how to we pipe stderr while preserving stdout? This is more annoying than one might suppose. http://www.burgerbum.com/stderr_pipe.html That seems like the right way, but it's damn ugly.
