I really think I need to get into the breakfast habit. Basically all my adult life I’ve pooh poohed and ignored breakfast except on rare occasions. (Not counting breakfast food for lunch or dinner at Denny’s or the like… love that.) But breakfast at breakfast isn’t something I do on a regular predictable basis.

But today (and not just today) I rolled into work a little later than I like, then sat there at the desk useless for a few minutes before I realized that I really was quite hungry.

Went downstairs to the snack bar and got a cinnamon bun and a white chocolate mocha. I’m almost done eating it and am already feeling a bit better and like my brain is almost functional. I a couple seconds I’ll be able to be productive.

I should probably think about trying out a breakfast every day policy and seeing how it would work out. The problem is, of course having time for breakfast means getting up earlier. Getting up earlier means either less sleep or going to bed earlier, neither of which are all that exciting.

Oh well. The Cinnamon Bun is gone. Time to do real stuff.

Yup, added some Google Ads. Just thought I’d finally give them a shot. Cause I want that $5 every 10 months or whatnot from the random people who stumble on this site by accident and then stumble away again through one of those links.

So far just PSAs. We’ll see if anything else ever shows up and if so what. In part, I’m just curious about what will show up, cause I certainly don’t have enough traffic to make any actual cash. But I’ve been meaning to try this for literally years, so today was the day.

I’ll keep them up awhile. If they start to really annoy me, at some point I may get rid of them again.

Oh wow, I’m going to be way off filter now. Yesterday I stayed up until about 13 UTC. Normal bedtime is more like 6 or 7. Then I woke up again about 17. I was up until around 19. Then back asleep again until I finally got up around 1 today.

That’s about 10 hours of sleep total, so I’m not short on sleep or anything. But I finally got up for good, oh, 11 hours after the time I generally need to be getting up on weekdays to get to work when I want to be getting there.

My sleep cycle is just going to be so wonked out.

Jet lag without the actual travel. Should be fun!

Yesterday a bunch of us from work went to a baseball game. One of those build team feeling sort of things. It was fun. Seattle lost.

Cronus has been a little slow lately, and it hasn’t been a memory or CPU issue. But low and behold, I look and my 500GB hard drive (really 465GB, but that’s the whole thing about how hard drives are labeled and the difference between 1000 and 1024, but whatever…)

Where was I? Oh yeah, the drive was 97.8% full.

I just deleted some stuff I’d downloaded that I could get back any time I wanted if I wanted but at the moment I don’t want, and got it down to 88.6% full. That is a lot better, but still pretty full.

I have some more stuff that I’d feel comfortable burning to DVD or such and then removing from my primary drive, but that I don’t feel comfortable completely deleting. So I think maybe tomorrow I’ll go get a blank DVD or two and see what I can do with that. I’d like to get under 80%. Even lower if possible.

I suspect the fullness of my drive may have something to do with some of the slowdowns I’ve had lately. Maybe not, but it certainly seems like 97.8% was pushing it a little bit.

Anyway, time to go watch a DVD with the family. Tonight is an Amy pick. Oh my.
