Ian
Ian was very nice and drove me to a faraway place to get my television repaired. I'm glad that I don't drive, peak hour traffic is awful, parking meters are expensive, and finding parking spots is hard. I'm very glad I have my $100 bicycle which gets me home-to-work in 12 minutes with no pollution, no expense, no parking hassles, and with a bit of healthy exercise. I'm still upset there aren't any more hills between home and work, because I'm getting flabby with the short trip.

Ian's also much become much better at rockclimbing than me, so I'm incredibly jealous.

Sofie
Sofie (Ian's partner) is going to come and work for Schoolsnet in a couple of weeks. This is good, because Sofie appreciates good beer, whereas Ian and Benni don't.

Work
Moving tomorrow, so I'm not expecting to get much done. Scotty tells me that I haven't been forgotten in bugland, and that one day the promised land will come. That's okay, because I've got a bunch of bugs I'm going to be delegating anyway. :)

Natedawg
Nate's practice at Half-Life is paying off. He's become incredibly good at Counter-Strike, probably because he plays it very single night of the week. He whipped our arses hugely today, which was pretty humiliating. To make things worse, I'm going to be broken up from my old squad (Dancer and Ben) as part of the move at work.

Nate also came climbing with us yesterday. He looks pretty spunky in my tight blue shorts.

GnuCash
GnuCash is good. Saved me money again by keeping a good hold on my finances. I'm most satisfied.

Finance::Quote
Benni has joined the Finance::Quote team and has offered to do fun stuff with the web-page. Thanks Benni! (I suspect the real reason is that he wants to write Advogato diaries but feels he needs open-source experience to do so.)
