It has been a really good week at work. I have been really focused, got quite a bit done and the hours have pretty much flown by. Off work it has been the usual good running, movies and also receiving a nice large cupboard for my bedroom.
So large that it is troublesome just figuring out the most convenient way of putting it together, and even a stubborn soul like I realized after some thinking that I should really not even try before I have a helper or two on site.
This morning I got up a bit later than usual. It is Saturday after all. I had my usual breakfast before doing some random surfing.
I ended up downloading Myihome server - a small application which runs on your computer to let your Popcorn hour access its media more easily. I hoped it would give me some access to the media in my Itunes library, but for some reason did not have much hope about it beign convenient. But it works much better than I expected. That is, it just works. I just installed and ran it on my Imac. And boom, I get instant access to my Itunes library on my TV. The only annoyance I can think of so far is that the things I view do not get marked as seen in Itunes.
This is the way video podcasts were meant to be watched.
Specifically, I have been watching the HD versions of videos from Apple's recent developer conference.
Then I went off and did some shopping, a much needed refill of the food supplies.
Us hunter-gatherers really have it easy these days.
Once back, I had some sandwiches and some simply wonderful cups of coffee along with Lejonet och björnen's texas pecan ice cream. Best fika in a long time, quite simply.
Ran today, without glancing at the time while on it. Felt really nice, made me run a little slower than I otherwise may have but not much.
It rained on me.
But of course that made no difference to how I looked when I got back.
Got back, showered and weighed myself. I weighed less than last time, much less even. The scales have never showed me a weight this low. So, I started wondering if there may be something off with the scale.
More importantly, I made a lot of dinner. Yummy, yummy dinner and a huge cup of hot cocoa with a pinch of [mynta] for an extra nice touch. I have actually been thinking seriously about eating more on average during the week, and that sure got an extra kick when I stepped on the scales today.
I have had more music than recently playing too, rediscovering how nice it is to have some background sound flowing from the Tivoli. Sparks' Hello young lovers is my most recent discovery. But I have also got my very first Divine comedy record, and I am enjoying that quite a bit as well.
More geekiness - finally enrolled to become a registered IOS (Apple's mobile platforms - Iphone, Ipad, Ipod touch) developer. Once I get approved, I will be able to finish and release and application, and I mean to finish one pretty soon. I am really curious as to how well the thing will actually run on my 3G Iphone the first few times as I am only able to run it in the simulator for now. I have really low expectations, so it will all be a fun learning experience. I have been meaning to pick up this project for quite a while, and it feels great to finally get going on it again.
And now it is suddenly Sunday. I am full and relaxed and happy, watching a developer video on the TV and writing this in Writeroom on Pomum. The world is good.
Perhaps I should have some TED next?
