Thu Aug 11 06:43:34 EDT 2016 Slept from 11:30 to six. Maybe I should have gone back to sleep for an hour. High of ninety-one. 60% chance of thunderstorms, most likely between noon and five. Dinner at dad's tonight. Asterisk has gone more than twelve hours without a crash. We'll see how it does under load today. Goals: Work: - Continue work maintenance call system I like to have a terminal window with a "desk calendar". For some reason, `watch` does not correctly preserver the highlighting of today's date: $ watch --color --interval 7200 cal -3 This works, however: $ while true ; do cal -3 ; sleep 7200 ; done $ while true ; do clear ; date ; echo ; cal -3 ; sleep 7200 ; done Hmm. I wonder how well and easily Asterisk video conferencing works... Fifteen minute walk at lunch. Hot, but not as bad as I feared. Heard cicadas, saw a trio of flying crows. No Asterisk crashes today. Good. Home: - Work on treasure for D&D minimal rules Done. Looks like I have a shot of finishing in 36 (half-page booklet) pages. Nice. - Dinner at dad's; also, fix his screen door and computer Done. Saw dad, Yvonne, Kate, Ryan, and Isla. Had dinner. Door fix went remarkably smoothly.
