Listening to soldersmoke podcast – want to build something!
Traffic home across I90 wasn’t to bad when leaving at 3:30, almost to sitter to pick up Isaac
Closing of I-90 carpool lanes = 45 minute commute across the lake this morning. (normally 5 minutes) Will have to deal with a month of this
There is as many people behind the counter at Starbucks as customers, and they still can’t keep up!
After weekends like this one, I need to take a few days off to recover. Very productive weekend and I don’t think I got more then 5 miles from the house since Friday.
Saturday:
Sunday
Isaac is finally at the stage where he can come outside with me and I don’t have to spend every minute entertaining him. This afternoon when I was moving dirt, he was happy to drive his tractor all over the front yard and garage. He’d load up stuff in the trailer, dump it somewhere and then go back to get it. He really enjoys when he can help, like when we put the planter boxes together. You could just see the little wheels turning in his head, as he was trying to figure out how it was going to work. When it came time to screw the sides together, I got to-do one, then he had to-do the rest of them. He is really good with something like the cordless screwdriver. All I have to-do is get the screw lined up and he knows how to-do the rest.
One other interesting thing happen this weekend. I ran my mac-mini out of disk space when doing the video conversions. I replaced the stock 60G drive like the second day I got it with a 300G, which has been fine for the last year. Then I finally had to upgrade the AppleTV drive, which means I am able to keep lots more stuff on it. But everything that is on AppleTV is also on my mac-mini, which as it turned out is something like 100G of stuff now.
So after I ran my system out of disk space and I looked around, realizing that there just wasn’t alot of “extra” stuff I could delete, I knew it was time to deal with the iTunes folder. I have had this unused 180G 1394 drive sitting there since converting to the mac-mini. The drive was my original backup drive, but upgraded mac-mini’s drive was to big, so it has just been sitting there un-used. So I flatten it and went hunting for instructions on how to relocate the iTunes folder. Seems this is a pretty common problem and Apple had step by step instuctions. Took maybe 20 minutes and worked prefectly. Now I have tons of free space on my primary drive and a “scratch” disk for this video thing.

So I just filled up my 300GB HD trying to make a single video. Damn – I’m behind the HD curve again!
Pulling video from the MicroHAMS digital conference to the computer.
