Update on the card catalog: looked at it, decided not to buy this one. Somebody had painted it navy blue, and the paint job was actually pretty good but it now gives “country kitsch project” vibes rather than “old tired wonderful library” vibes. I’ll keep looking.

On my bucket list of furniture for my home office (that’s a weird thing to say, I guess) is an old library card catalog, something like this. I’m a library lover and nostalgic, I guess. They’re… remarkably hard to come by and usually pricey. Gonna go look at one tonight that might work, though.

A wooden card catalog cabinet with multiple small drawers and three fold-out writing surfaces is shown.

So far today I’ve watched a close end to Ohio State - Indiana, a nailbiter in OT for Florida State - Miami, seen Auburn upset #1 Georgia, and BYU survive a last-ditch attempt by Notre Dame.

My team, Nebraska, didn’t start until 20 minutes ago. No way I’m gonna stay awake for this one.

Ran the prices and for this week’s business trip it would’ve been about the same price for me to Uber to/from the airport as to drive my own car and park it there all week and hike in from the long-term lot. I’ve been driving/parking at CID for 25 years. Would be a hard habit to break.

Dang it now I wanna just jump into the next (last) book in the series.

As a Cubs fan I can’t really bring myself to cheer for either the Brewers or the Dodgers here in the NLCS. Guess I’ll be pulling for the AL in the Series. Apologies to my one Brewers-loving friend.

Ran the new micro.blog blog audit. (Thanks @manton!) Not as bad as I feared it might be. 20 years of posts… links gonna rot.

A dashboard displays statistics about links, images, accessibility, security, feeds, plug-ins, and missing paths for a website with 2225 posts and 578 uploads.

I’ve got a mini PC running Debian for my home media and utility server. VNC has always been flaky as a remote desktop option. Got a GL.inet Comet KVM yesterday. It’s super-slick. Tailscale native. Connect USB and HDMI to the PC and can connect to the PC from anywhere I have a browser. Neat.

The Iowa Hawkeyes playing in Seattle tonight against U of W, didn’t start until 8pm central. Fortunately for me, the Hawks are up 27-0 before halftime, think I can safely go to bed. Or switch over to the Iowa State game if ESPN ever lets them start it.
