A nice, quiet day off when nothing happened. I did go back to the lab today for my fasting blood draw and some more of my test results were posted. A different test suggests that my diabetes isn’t as good as the first tests suggested and Ron thinks I may end up having to take diabetes meds after all, but it is definitely much better than I had thought so I’m still glad about that. Got a shrink appointment for 9/11 and re-scheduled my next dentist appy for later in the month.
The Linux books Ron got from the library mostly seem to pertain to Red Hat, and I now know just how I would solve the modem problem if I were using that but still no clue how to fix it in SUSE which is what we have. We have finally decided to go ahead and get DSL and set up a wireless network so the problem may soon become getting it to use the wireless rather than the modem, and who knows it may actually work.
Today’s book oddity is, well, odd. Brookelyn Bellinger’s Frozen Toe Guide is equal parts primer for newcomers, visitor travel advice and tales of life in the 49th state. Some of the advice seems practical and obvious (in case of a moose attack, RUN!) whereas other parts seem quite fanciful (building a house out of duct tape???). It was somewhat entertaining, but definitely convinced me that I do NOT ever want to move to Alaska.
