- Temperatures around here are on on a wild spring swing, and I’m not sure I like it. I was hoping to plant a few more things outside this weekend, but with the forecasted lows near freezing, I think I’m going to have to hold off for another week. But maybe I’ll get around to mowing the lawn for the first time here. It’s long enough in a few spots that it needs it, but only one of my neighbors has had a lawnmower out so far this year, and I’m not sure I want to be too much of a go-getter about that sort of thing.

. [fark!] - Gina Gershon would love to run Playboy, and it sounds like her ideas for the magazine are good ones. I agree that it’s been looking cheesy lately. I’m not even really sure why I still have a subscription. [fark!]
Last night interesting (at least for me). Rather than sitting home and watching the tube like I usually end up doing, I did some work on b2++. I actually fixed one problem I’d been having with redirects in it, and am about ¼ of the way through on making it not need register_globals. That took me from about 8pm to 10:30pm, at which point I normally would have gone to bed, but I was kinda wired from actually solving the redirect problem, so I headed over to Manning’s to see the folks who hang out there on Friday evenings playing trivia. About midnight, Jim showed up, since his roommate had told him that I was making a rare Manning’s appearance. Just about last-call, we headed over to the Sporty for one last beer, and got to gab with Joe for a while. And then it was home for one more beer, that somehow keps me awake until 4:30. Sheesh. I had fun, but I wonder if I’m ever going to realize that I’m too old for this crap.
