Work on my bathroom continues
Work on my bathroom continues. I had expected it to be complete on Friday but it lookse like the new completion date will be Tuesday or Wednesday.
It will be very nice to have a working shower, and a toilet I don't need to "flush" with a bucket.
The only interesting thing I've been doing is planning on a kernel to support long-term for some poor unfortunate souls who cannot use Debian-based kernels.
I know building, supporting, and maintaining a kernel will be a pain. But at the moment it looks like a valid thing to be suggesting.
Otherwise life goes on. I've been hit by the DIY bug, largely as the result of seeing all the bathroom work going on, and figuring I was going to live with dust/mess anyway - so I've erected some more book-shelves, and ordered a pair of ceiling fans.
The only other thing to report is that I've started deleting emails. (shock!)
I look after a few machines for myself, friends and so on. Each one will send me automated emails at times. I've got them going back years - but no longer:
#
# Prune old mailboxes.
#
for maildir in .Automated.backups .machines.spotlight .machines.skx; do
nrecent --keep=150 $HOME/Maildir/${maildir}/cur
done
Another new use for my nrecent tool. (Note: Only delete files from ./cur, to avoid deleting messages I've not read. Maildir is your friend!)
