I seem to have my tasks cut out for me today. I just got woken up by the mailman delivering a parcel sent to me from Australia, containing a secondhand Grundig 6 Disc CD Player for my smart fortwo that I acquired for just over €52 (including shipping, handling,...). I guess that means I have to install - or at least test it - today.
I've also got to do a quick web page sample for a colleague and I promised B&H that I'd be over today before they leave on holiday tomorrow morning. Early afternoon I'm expected to meet G. online for some Second Life, and I somewhere in between all that I have to slightly adjust the door in Tai's litter box because I think it may snap sometimes blocking his access. Either that or he's just being lazy.
I intended to sleep till 9h30 but that plan was shot down when the mail man rang the doorbell, so I just hope that the fact that I was up in bed reading till 4AM doesn't catch up with me too soon. I'm looking at starting early shifts on saturday, so getting up early and going to bed early seems like a good plan anyway. I may add more details or a progress update as the day goes by.
Update 1 : Tai's litter box has been fixed, and cleaned. The CD changer has been tested and is almost installed. I just need to get some cable wraps (which I have) to tie everything down neatly and some velcro (which I'll be getting shortly) to secure the unit without making it unmovable should there be a need to do so in the future.
I've started working on the web page as well, but man... are my XHTML skills rusty or what?! It took me a good 30 minutes to get a table looking the way I wanted coz I kept on going back to the reference guide for formats and attributes. I do recall the days I wrote HTML and XHTML as if it were my second language but those are long gone. I'll get used to it again soon though and as with everything, laying the framework is the hardest thing to do. Once that's in, I can build/add/change as I like.
