Dream

7:43am PST Tuesday 10 December 2002

(dream)

On a road trip, I went back to Bloomington, staying in a garage apartment at the same address as Maggie and Molly's house. I felt all sad like, "what am I doing here?" and was crying when I came from the store where Barb was working, but when I opened the door, some other traveler was in the room as well.

"When did you get here?"

"Not so long ago." She had a guitar on the floor beside her.

"I felt like I don't know what the hell I'm doing here, that's why I was crying."

"Me too."

"Girl, give me a hug."

And we hugged, knowing the angst and trauma the other may be experiencing. So great to find a fellow traveler.

Kims site

9:07am PST Tuesday 10 December 2002

Much better this morning. It was frustrating yesterday because I couldn't see the actual error message to help direct my debugging search. Had to use a bunch of print() statements and an exit() to debug the thing.

This morning I got past the bulk of the errors, basically they were all file paths not being correct.

FTPd to his server, if I go pwd, I get /web/whatever/. But actually the path is like /users/site120/cks/web/whatever/. Silly FTP configuration.

I used a perl script to figure out what the path was.

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html> <head>\n";
print "<title>CGI Environment</title>\n";
print "</head>\n";
print "<body>\n";
print "<h1>CGI Environment</h1>\n";
foreach $env_var (keys %ENV) {
   print "<B>$env_var</B> = $ENV{$env_var}<BR>\n";
}
print "</body> </html>\n";

Santa Monica

10:16pm PST Tuesday 10 December 2002

Sally and I went to Santa Monica to skate today.

Utterly beautiful and incredible.

Cool things

Wait, uncool thing first:

Watched a guy catch a stingray and not let it go. (That was out on the pier.)

Cool things:

  • Going out on the pier wearing skates even though signage clearly prohibited skates. Saw an old woman wearing skates at the far end of the pier. Watched waves crash below us.

  • Sally's front wheel coming off her skate, and me having replacement parts for it in Scott.

  • Skating from Venice Pier to Santa Monica Pier along the beachfront bike path thing. Sally getting faster and more confident in her skating abilities.

  • Trying to leap from section to section of the curb with light poles in the way.

  • Finding a playground with gymnastic jungle gym equipment! Parallel bars, uneven bars, balance beam, high bars, rings, ropes, and other things to climb on, swing from, fall off.

  • Climbing, swinging, enjoying all this equipment without falling.

  • Enjoying the sunset while standing in the surf.

  • Pictures of college students being funny on the swings instead of studying for finals.

  • Pictures of skaters filming kick flips over a 4x4 foot square hole in the concrete.

  • Buying some sage for Sally from a cat who buys and sells drums from Ghana.

  • Skating on a curved curb thing.

  • Chillin' in Scott, listening to some of Sally's childhood stories, and how they affect her modern life.

Got back from Santa Monica at 8pm, and Rick came over for grilled burgers (Morning Star veggie burgers for me) and chillin'

Sally and I watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I hadn't previously seen it. My favorite scene is when the princess reveals herself to be Invincible Sword Princess or something. Nice.
