My new laptop battery arrived. I can now record at least 3 hours of high quality audio with complete electrical isolation. Woot! This is going to make recording the choir's Christmas carols a lot easier.

I finished putting together a CD of the choir's last performance... it's an open music source music CD :-). Has a data track with the raw recordings in FLAC format, and MP3s of all the tracks for convenience.

Added BitPass microdonations to my website. I have it set up so that if you make a donation, the title-bar goes blue for a month, so it's easy to see if you have donated recently. All done with javascript and cookies. Would be nice to see this on other websites, since it is the kind of thing i would click on for the weblogs i read regularly. BitPass is a really nice cleanly designed system, looks like they've actually gotten the micropayments thing right at last.

I'm maintaining my medication schedule as described in my 24 November diary entry. Seems to be working moderately well, though i'm still tired and achey most of the time. My keyword of the week is "nonrestorative sleep". Getting a viscoelastic mattress for Christmas, yay!
