Last night was more Torchwood on TV.
Laurelwood Free Range Red, and Pike Kiltlifter for beer.
I also began the process of migrating the geohashing image tagging web page to my file server.

Random stuff

Its been a while since I updated. Here are some developments on what's going on:

Beer - I've been in a sampling mood, so have been buying tall boys instead of six-packs. Mostly Rogue of different styles, but also a stout by Pelican, and an ale by Cascade Lakes. I still have one more tall boy (don't remember what kind), and a six pack of Pike's Kilt Lifter Scottish Ale yet to sample. I'll probably work on that later this week/weekend. Last week I joined the Rogue Nation at the brewpub down in Portland, and I feel I should be a good citizen and head down there again for beers relatively soon.

TV - I finished Doctor Who, all the way up to the end of Series 5. I started in on Torchwood, but I have a feeling that it will be a bit slower to get through it all. I missed some of my typical TV shows on DVR due to a problem with my cable. It turned out to be a faulty router, which was preventing my STB from getting its guide.

SF0 - I completed centroid exploration, but am very disappointed in the completion. It could have been so much better!

Geohashing - I fixed a lingering bug in the ape. I just didn't know it was lingering because its been a while since someone planned an expedition before coordinates were announced. I then proceeded to forget to turn the ape back on, so that it wasn't updating for a day or two.

Music - I have found myself going back to an old favorite, The Dandy Warhols, recently. Though this morning I did create a new Pandora station for Bloc Party.

I went on a short geohashing expedition yesterday, as well as went down to a show at The Secret Society in east Portland. The show was bad, to say the least.

10/6/2010 Cleanup

This evening will be consumed by me cleaning up the main level of my apartment, so that it is at least marginally clean for movie night on Thursday night. On the tele will be Hackers, a wonderful 15 year old movie about computer hackers. The characters are laughingly one-dimensional, and what the computers are doing is completely laughable for the period this movie takes place in. It should be a good time.

On the TV I've been watching Doctor Who, slowly working my way through all of the modern seasons. I'm up to the beginning of season 4.

Comencement

My attempt at creating a summary of what I am up to in the world. Mostly here as a log to myself, to maintain a history of what I was doing and when. Typical topics will likely include:
  • Geohashing and the bots wrote and am currently maintaining for the wiki.
  • SF0, an internet game, which I have become enthralled with.
  • Music. I listen to it throughout most work days, and occasionally go to shows down in Portland. I will occasionally post what I am listening to, what shows I end up at, and what I think of them.
  • Maps, specifically OpenStreetMap, but also maps in general. They fascinate me, and thus I often find myself looking at them. I will be trying to contribute to OSM, and will use this blog to record when I do something for it.
  • Biking. I have been trying to get myself more into this, but have been failing recently. I will use this to record my biking adventures and mishaps.
  • Beer. I love it, and I will occasionally post about a new kind of beer I have recently consumed, and what I think of it.
  • Television/Movies. I have a bunch of stuff that gets recorded on my DVR. I watch it as time permits. I'll write about it from time to time. Movies are a rarity.
  • Restaurants/clubs. More of the former than the latter, because I don't often go to clubs, but if I go someplace, and it seems interesting, I will post of it.
  • Work, because it often ends up on my mind, though I will try to keep it limited to when it actually intrudes upon what is normally my free time
