What a way to start the week
Aug. 28th, 2001 11:10 amOk I've been realy slow about almost all forms of contact with people in recovering from Pennsic. For that I'm sorry.
I'm still feeling drained but things are starting to look up. :-)
Thinking about the plastic models that Bunicula had been putting together got me thinking about the ones I still had sitting in boxes from before I got married. (I'm still not sure why I stopped working on them, but there just never seemed to be a good time/place to do them when my ex and I were together.)
So this past weekend as A and I were waiting to be seated at Outback, I ran into the Toy R Us and got a new set of supplies (Paints, Glue, etc). When we got home I tore into a "Star Trek" model I'd had sitting arround (An original series Kilingon D7). This put me in a good mood until I lost one of the pieces. (That, or it was never in the box to begin with)
Sunday was an Arisia staff BBQ, and once I got there it started with a bang.... Literally... :-)
I had brought a bottle of homemade mead, and placed it on the counter. I had turned around to tal to someone and one of the staff went to open the bottle. I hadn't thought anyone would want some that soon. Well lets just say that this was a "SPARKELING!!!" mead. :-) In less than 10 seconds nearly two liters of mead became fizz, which was sprayed ALL over that corner of the apt. :-)
Monday morning I had the "talk" with the errant cow-orker. It went ok..... (Arrgggg!!! work is calling gotta run I'll finish this shortly)
(Ok, I'm back, now on with the story)
I also had a presentation to give at work. On installing and running Apache on the Win32 platform with SSL certificates. :-) Unfortunately it didn't come off as smoothly as I would have liked it to. The binary installer I downloaded just didn't work. (Arrrgggg!!!!!)
Then last night a brain storm hit me and I was able to come up with a way of replacing the missing peice of the model I'm working on. :-) I was able to mold copy of the missing piece out of some spare pastic parts, and the remains of the modeling putty I had from my old modeling kit. All that remains at this point is to fabricate a grill frount for the missing piece.
