Had a longer evening in Redmond, and spent far more money on tires than I expected, that I finally decided to treat myself while I could. Family Pancake House was closing by the time I left the tire place, so IHOP it was.

I don't think I've had one of their hot chocolates since I was a kid.

One of the things I did before all the layoff stuff went down was get rid of my cable service. I don't watch enough TV to really keeps it, and I found a place where my antenna gets all the channels I need (I just use local TV for local news).

The nice thing is, I don't use the TV as a my TV. The signal goes into my TV card on my PC. Which actually allows you to stream it anywhere in the house. It works BETTER than my cable service!

Onyl downside is I don't get CBC anymore. But I only watched the news on CBC, and they put that on YouTube.

Laid Off, Day Zero: My former work desk quickly becomes a pizza buffet.

Years before the Cybertonian Wars, Proud Daddy Ironhide takes his son Ratchet for a day in the park.

Some serious fog Tuesday night, though.

Wednesday night we had another windstorm. Again, we just happened to be in a pocket of no winds, somehow.

Deep thoughts about the future while I still have a present.

Oooh, I'm all official and stuff.

Things are still going as normal as ever over at Twitter....

Turns out I really need to work on the website a little more than I thought. I did finish all the Star Trek stuff (Minus Redskirts) and Closetspace stuff. But the A Wish for Wings stuff hasn't even been started. And there's at least one large graphic I still need to make. So maybe tomorrow. Or the day after. But I'm working on it!

BREAKING: CANADA IN GENERAL CHAOS. SOCIETY BREAKING DOWN. THE END IS NEAR.

I just changed the background to the Star Trek pages. Too aggressive?

2022 Full Back Up is ALL DONE. I'm still surprised at how quickly it runs now, and a little suspicious, but it all seems to be there. +100 for fast computers and USB3 transfer speeds.

Doing the finishing touches on the updated website. I've decided that what I need to do is use SeaMonkey for desigining the pages, then use Frontpage 2003 for the automation. I already have Windows XP installed for some games here and there. Might as well fire it up for web authoring.

Really liking how the site looks now. Lots cleaner, dynamically resizes, and works on phones WAY better (if a little crowded).

The update continues apace. I actually worry that it's not taking nearly as long as usual, but that happened last time, too. I think it has to do with the fact that my laptop is pretty beefy for a laptop, that I'm using USB3 devices and that the updated software doesn't try to compress already compressed archives. I'm used to it taking a week, not two days.

As long as the final archive is the same or bigger as last year's, though, I'm not gonna really worry.

And so the Big Yearly Backup begins....
