Car

12:50pm CST Thursday 20 March 2003

Jack and I are fixing Heather's car tire.

We're at Ross New-Used Tires next to a loudspeaker on a rumbling small diesel behind an open manhole cover. On the truck is what amounts to a large chinese finger trap, certainly used to grab long things and pull them. But I don't know what types of things those would be.

That was fast. $20 for an $18 tire and $3 balance. Nice. The operation there was smooth, without the structure of NTB or other big chain. One cat talked to customer, asked what tire(s) need adjustment, put a jack under the affected tire, (possibly) another cat removed the tire, bounced it to the back, (possibly) another cat found a tire, changed it, bounced it back to the car, (possibly) another cat put it on.

Cookies

1:08pm CST Thursday 20 March 2003

Been working on my days old cookies, and I thought I had the code to a place where it would work, but... it's not working. Only trick is that I'm not sure how to debug my output, and I don't yet know where the cookie file is located for my browsers (Safari and IE). A bit of research can find those quickly, but I may have lost impetus on the project.

Oh oh oh

I just realized I can set my browser to warn me of incoming cookies and thereby see what's happening behind the scenes.

Website

6:25pm CST Thursday 20 March 2003

Have done some cleanup on my website; consolidating or reorganizing some things that have been written and just moved from site to site like old boxes of treasures that I can't bear to throw away.

One mind says bits are cheap, might as well keep them.

There's a part of me that wants to keep and archive and store everything I've thought, somehow creating a collage of Who I Am through my writings and recording Who I've Been in my adventures.

But it gets to a point where it's like shit, who cares if I keep Every Thought I've Ever Thunk; no one is going to read them all. Not likely. Well a sentient computer would. Google will if I ever make them all linkable.

I've decided it's all important enough to make a backup of everything on my local computer. I've been copying things for almost an hour now and it's not all backed up. I'm not clear that it will finish before we leave for Austin tonight.

Man I've got a lot of files on my site.

7:03pm

Didn't get it all copied. We're on the way to Austin now with Charity driving, Janette shotgun, me in a nest of blankets in the front of the back of the van, and a bunch of stuff filling the back of the back of the van.

7:11pm

Hmmm. Interesting. I transcribed not very much of my first handwritten journal and started to get a little bit ookey stomach feeling carsick. Combination of reading in bad light/writing/bad posture/shake shake shake sitting sideways in a van without really looking outside may have had something to do with it. Gonna lay down now.
