I want to be able to get a listing of all upcoming iCal events in a list like this:

Last night, I had the same dream as the night before. I got fired. I worked for and with the same people, but I was a comic book writer/illustrator. We produced a number of comics, including the one I worked on the most. Its name was something like “Hellboy.” Maybe it was Hellboy, but it wasn’t the real Hellboy comic. I think I wrote an issue in which the narrator spoke about how his china cabinet was a gateway to hell.

I’ve done a bit of poking at Module::CPAN::Generator and put together my own cpants.db. I also tweaked my cpants Querylet, so I can look at my Kwalitee results and find that… dangit! Rubric 0.12 left use strict out of a module somewhere. Argh! I need to (a) get domm to let me give him updated cpants.db for the website or (b) run my own version of the website.

I want a way to take really quick notes. I want to scribble down a to-do, write down a MySQL log position, write down the length of time it took to build the CPANTS database, or whatever.

There is a bar near the intersection of 3rd Street and Adams Street in Bethlehem. It is called J.P. McGrady’s. They have good burgers, good wings, and a wide variety of beers on tap. Despite this, tonight I say, “A POX UPON YOU, MCGRADY!”

This morning as I walked to the bus terminal, I had a thought and said to myself, “You should write that down once you’ve got the your laptop open.” Of course, I’ve forgotten it by now.

I finally released 0.12 of Rubric. It’s not everything it could be, but it’s better than nothing. All of its tests pass, due to a better cleanup routine before testing. It uses strict in the (pointless) Rubric.pm module, which gets rid of that one black mark on my CPANTS score. I was really wondering when domm would update the scores, but now I want him to wait until I fix my most recent upload.

I’m not sure I can name anything that I’d call an accomplishment from this weekend. I did a lot of sitting around and thinking about doing things, but I still felt busy for a good amount of the time. Although my time could have been better used, I think that for the most part it was a good, relaxing weekend hanging out with Gloria.

I had a strange dream. I worked in Manhattan, and every morning caught a but around 10:30 to get into the city and work. I worked in mid-town. One day, there was some reason that this wouldn’t work out, so Gloria arranged for me to have a hotel room somewhere just south of the city. It wasn’t Brooklyn, but some tiny suburb I hadn’t ever heard of. I can’t remember the name now, but it definitely had one, and I think it started with a “W.” In the morning, I’d catch a plane to Manhattan and get to work with plenty of time to spare.

I’ve needed a haircut for a while, but it hasn’t been convenient to go see my barber, so I shaved my head. It’s been a long time since I last did that – maybe a year or so. This was the second or third time that I’ve shaved my head with just scissors and a safety razor, as I have no working buzzers. This is a very annoying process, and I will definitely get buzzers again for the next time. I just need to get good ones that don’t cease functioning after a few uses.
