Derik Badman's Journal

Up on Sunday to mow the lawn before the heat becomes oppressive, but waiting until 8 to at least be decent to my neighbors. Got most of my other chores done yesterday, which leaves me today to do more fun things.

I started working out a way to convert my old Wordpress blog to static pages so I can shut down the php/mysql and leave the site as an archive. If I can get that resolved today, I can also start getting some new stuff up for excerpts of this (oh so exciting) journal. We'll see, sometimes it's hard to get into doing programming in my free time after spending all week doing it for work. I get ideas but then it's just so much like work, and I guess I'm just not that obsessed with programming.

Been over at ███'s too many nights in a row and probably drinking too much to get much reading done. Not like I stumble into bed and pass out, but that I end up only reading for a half hour or so before I start nodding off.

Just looked out the window and saw a little sparrow disappear into the side of a hedge row, just fly right into the side and then was covered over by the green. Looking back I can see a bit of movement at the bottom near the ground, probably a couple birds hidden in there.

Well that's been about 10 minutes, so I guess it's time to go outside and do some mowing.
