Word-a-Day
For anybody who missed the massively cross-posted announcement, we’re in the middle of the Word-a-Day program on gnome-doc-list. The terminology recommendations in our Style Guide are seriously out of date, so we’re doing a complete refresh. To get full community involvement, I’m sending one(-ish) word each(-ish) day to gnome-doc-list for discussion. If you like words as much as I do, join the fun.
Silke Out, Shaun Sad
So Silke’s off in San Francisco for the SIOP conference. I, apparently, am not capable of figuring out how to sleep properly on my own. I fell asleep on the couch last night watching Colbert and woke up at 7:30. Waking up on the couch when it’s already light outside is strange.
On the positive side, I’m using this as a chance to have some old friends in from out of town. Although so far, Bill’s the only out-of-towner confirmed, so it’ll mostly be local friends.
I Love Cedar
Yesterday I bought a bunch of cedar and starting building a potting bench for my greenhouse/shed. What happens when you take half an inch off of nine 6′ 2x4s in the planar? You get a huge pile of wonderfully aromatic cedar shavings. I don’t know what I’m going to do with the shavings yet, but they sure smell nice.
