Slept soundly from eleven to seven.
Sunny today, with a high of seventy-eight.
Goals:
Work:
- Finish getting my temporary environment workable
Mostly done. I'll be glad when all the parts for my new workstation get here.
1280 x 800 is just not enough pixels.
- Go through remaining email from last week
Done.
- Fix errors being thrown by Asterisk log monitor shell script.
Done.
Asterisk sometimes writes leading right-parens to log lines, like:
)[2016-09-26 15:20:43] WARNING[21102] taskprocessor.c: The 'pjsip/distributor-000000da' task processor queue reached 500 scheduled tasks.
I modified the sed regex to account for this:
log_date=$(grep 'task processor queue reached 500 scheduled tasks' /var/log/asterisk/full | tail -1 | awk '{ print $1 " " $2 }' | sed 's/^[^0-9]*\(.*\).$/\1/')
What moron thought that huge, lingering overlay when switching workspaces in Gnome 3 was a good idea?
I've really been trying to give Gnome a shot, but --- ugh --- so many small and unnecessary annoyances.
It's as if the people designing Gnome don't use it for real work.
Any environment will need customization. My issues are:
- The Gnome defaults are poor.
- Changing the defaults is hard. There are too many different, incomplete tools and plugins (the built-in settings tool, Tweak Tool, dconf-editor, etc.). Give me one text config file to edit and a good man page!
I think I might be coming down with a cold.
Maybe I'll go to bed early --- try to fight it off.
Got Thai food for lunch, and still had time for a twenty minute walk. Windy. Saw a couple of turkey vultures, and a couple of little white butterflies.
Home:
- Go to bed early
Done.
I think I've made this observation before, but the dash man page is much better than most linux man pages.
Breakfast: carrots, mixed greens, yogurt, coffee with half-in-half
Lunch: pad ped
Dinner: steak and mushroom sub, fries
