Random Things from the Start of Summer
I went to NYC last weekend. The High Line is a really cool park. I spent not too much money on clothes. Bolt buses are not as cool as those for MegaBus, but the drivers are certainly better.
About a week ago, I saw a story in the Metro about the FBI looking for leads on the girlfriend of famous Boston gangster and fugitive, James "Whitey" Bulger. Earlier this week, he was captured. That's two of the ten most wanted captured or killed this year (both Bulger and Osama Bin Laden were on the Forbes world list and the FBI list).
I arrived at work on Monday to be greeted by the sound of a failed hard drive. Took me until Wednesday to have a work desktop I could login to, and until today-ish to be back to my last saved state. I now have an automated script that takes the changes for each of my checkouts and saves it to a remote directory each night. I didn't before, and I lost a few days of coding as a result.
(Good news: ITA ops supports Ubuntu now! Bad news: It's the LTS release (obviously), so that's a bit of a downgrade. Guess I could try upgrading and see if stuff breaks.)
Family is coming into town next week. I'll be visiting my aunt and uncle on Cape Cod on Thursday. Then I'll be heading to Sandy Island Camp (and disappearing from the face of the internet) the week after that. I am excited!
One of my favorite restaurants in Somerville is closed temporarily after being hit by an SUV. Hopefully, it will be open for business again in short order. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the accident.
