Here I am, up late again. I put aside my Kindle but I spent a lot of time trying to pare down the list of songs I have for my iPod. I have a 40GB iPod but I usually carry around a 4GB Nano as a backup for my iPhone. For some reason, I can’t limit my selection of awful dance music (that keeps me sane sitting next to the world’s loudest typer) to only 4GB. Choices, choices.

I’m also trying to replace my firewall and I keep running into problems. I don’t have all of the right cabling for a serial console or for a CD-ROM drive to install a new OS. I keep thinking about geeky computer stuff when I should be sleeping. I think I’ll rectify that right now.

The contractors made it back to the house today and they replaced the floor in record time. I thought they were going to screw the floor down but they used ring-shank nails. After dealing with those ring shank nails while tearing up the old floor, I’ve decided that they are the spawn of Satan. But if they work I shouldn’t complain. Now if I can figure out how to keep the shower door from leaking, I’ll be all set.
