So ready for bed - nexus one tether ya

I spent the last hour rooting my nexus one so i could tether and write this sentence. Interesting sidenote: once you have tethering enabled both fedora and windows can tether with USB. On fedora it is even easier than windows. I plugged in the phone and it shows up in the network manager as a internet source.

There is no way to get it to work on the mac. For that you have to use a wifi tethering option which sucks because its way less secure, slow and requires extra power to run.

It also has a flash and this picture was taken in darkness to give you an idea how good that works in dark.

The best part is being able to listen to streaming radio n the background. I am sure the new iphone will do that out of the box too.

Cleaning up

Because I was so sick all weekend and then ended up at cat houses in
the tour, I was ready to suffocate by today. Therefore, I spent all
day wearing a gas mask which actually helps in these situations.

My favorite is ricola and a gas mask.

We had to clean up for our block club home tour afterparty which is at
our house. I dusted each spindle on the stairs which takes forever.
Getting rid of some dust should help my allergies.

We also added a full size couch to the side parlour and it actually
fits. Once the fireplace works I may never leave the room.

The dark scary subway tunnel

This picture is dark and crappy. It's not because my iPhone takes
shifty pics but because there was only one light on in the tunnel by
Canisius. On the last set of steps I actually had trouble seeing the
stairs going down in front of me.

Sharing Sickness

There is this guy at work who always comes in when he is sick and gets me sick. He sits right behind me and I have to work with a lot. Everytime he got sick this year, I got sick like a day later.

He always ends up staying home after he gets me sick. My question is why can't he just stay home when he is sick in the first place like everyone else. Thats why we have like 6000 sick days. It really sucks to be sick on the weekend in that case. He always says things like stay away I am sick. But when you sit in the cube right next to them, its hard to "stay away."

Now I am sick and got no painting done, argh. I pretty much missed the whole day. Next time he sneezes or coughs or I am just going to take a sick day until he takes one, which is kind of ridiculous but its better than being sick.

Another day of repair and paint

The morning started with a call from my boss at 8am that I was late
for a presentation to the leadership forum. The meeting was two and
half hours before my usual start time and I had taken today off to
work on the house, totally forgetting about it.

So, i rushed out and made in time for my presentation and it went
awesome. Work has just been awesome in general. I even got an award
for innovation. Find out more about that next week.

So back to the house, I am capable of doing so many more things now
thanks to my new wood chisel set. I made some fancy new replacement
parts for the house facade and replaced some more shingles with
(e:matthew)'s help. Some bees has gotten in where the insulation was
blown in. We stuffed them shut and replaced the shingles that were on
top of them. You can't even tell which ones are new.

I was also able to finish half of the driveway-side cornace in brown
and orange. I had my dad come and watch me in case i fell. I think
he enjoyed watching me work, haha. It was also nice to spend some
time with him.

It's crazy how much you an get done in a day.
