infryqYesterday I packed up and shipped off yarn for J, along with a few bonus
goodies. I was back at work. T had to cancel our meeting next week, which
is bad since that was our only time before January... so I arranged for a
five minute check-in instead just to cover “everything is melting. What
oracle string should I use, and how much can I spend on replacements?”.
That will happen next Tuesday, so between now and then I’m recording system
stats and putting together several possible purchase plans. Ideally we’ll
get a NAS and dump all the separate RAID arrays into one big pile.
P and I missed the shuttle on the way in, so we drove in, and he was still
on campus by home time so we drove home too. Dinner and crossword, and then
I finished reading the IRCC 2018 entries and went looking for something
equivalent for the Victorian era with limited success. What I like about
the IRCC is the density— you get to see a lot of different techniques for
accomplishing more or less the same thing, and the repetition makes for
good signal. The closest other thing I’ve found is Historical Sew Monthly,
but I haven’t figured out yet how to locate all the entries for a
particular challenge so that I can read them together. The internet is big,
but also small sometimes.
