Yesterday blog came up on the task picker from the Windows side of my newer computer.   Today I’m creating an entry because writing came up on the Linux task picker spreadsheet.

I still have this cough so I’m putting off calling back a lady that was calling about a senior linux admininstrator position.  I definitely will call the woman just to tell the truth that I don’t think I’m good enough for a senior admin position.  At least she will keep me in mind for my honesty.

Writing on the Linux side involves me piling up pillows on the bed and propping the laptop up on my good leg.  I know the proper posture is sitting up but I don’t want to carry the Toshiba back and forth to my home office.

I keep the Toshiba in the bedroom because it makes the morning routine easier.  Wake up; grab the ‘puter; check both mail accounts; read my 10 daily websites, and then apply to 3 jobs that I think I have mild chance at getting.  It’s good to have the machine on the nightstand at bedtime.  I pick a BBC 4extra drama that lasts at least 30 minutes to fall asleep and drown out the wife’s snoring.

Lately my sleepytime dramas have been cut off before I’ve fallen asleep because the wireless signal dies.  One of the cats has taken to sleeping behind the router and the cable modem.  She has to give herself a good bath before sleeping.  Unfortunately a good bath involves getting tangled in easily pulled-out power cords.
