The Brick Testament is getting some competition from the LOLspeak bible:

LotStreetWiz is flying to Vancouver. I don’t feel like cooking for just me, so I made bean and tomato salad. It’s a cold salad that takes about five minutes to put together from canned ingredients plus one onion.

My son had suddenly developed an urgent interest in getting his old tax returns in. Something to do with a student computer as a reward….

I’m helping him to find information and also looking for his old résumé so that he can send a more complete one to a job application.

Do you wonder why this poor kitty looks worried?

“The kids” came over–first Lizbot, then after she’d left Silentlight and his girlfriend to have supper.

Now all I have to do is pack my swim bag for tomorrow.

Last night I sat and copied images back from the old blog on Blogger and up to the WordPress database. Then when I go to replace them in the WordPress version, they’ll be there.

I got my computer back today, so I’m going through the files and making sure everything is set up properly. The problem seems to have been a bad hard drive, possibly caused by the fact that Dell never fastened the hard drive in!

Maybe it’s time to join Weight Watchers online.

I’ve imported all the Blogger posts from “Random Thoughts” over to my personal blog on WordPress, “If Not Now, When?”.

There’s still quite a bit of editing to do: the tags come over as categories and all intra-blog links need to be changed to their equivalent WordPress links. The biggest job, though, is re-saving all the images to WordPress, deleting them out of the articles, then re-importing them. However, I’ve started in a small way.

From now on, expect new articles to be here, on “Random Thoughts: If Not Now, When?“

LotStreetWiz woke me up at 7:00 this morning so we could go swiming at a the Settlement House community pool near Grange Parkl He had a precise workout from his coach; I just wanted to practise and get in some distance.

In 25-yard pool:

• warm-up: (50 yd. breaststroke + 50 yd. front crawl) x 3 = 300 yd.
• body-core rolling, 50 yd.
• front crawl, 50 yd. x 2 = 100 yd.
• kicking with flutterboard, 50 yd.
• front crawl , 50 yd. x 3 = 150 yd.
• cool-down: side stroke, 50 yd x 2 = 100 yd.

total, 750 yards (675 m)
Over the same period, LotStreetWiz swam 1700 yards.

Here’s a look around the pool. East wall:

I’m slowly going through my old blog posts, finding the links that are expessed in the blog post titles. Then I edit the post and move the link into the body of the article. I’ve done 2007, most of 2006, and the older posts up to somewhere in 2005. I have less than a year to do. Then I’ll check them all again. I’m eager to export them to WordPress without losing the links.
