Christine's continuing with the installation of Windows 7 and GIS software and other "basics" (Open Office, Crome, etc) this evening. I've been surfing around. I had initially imagined i would watch the State of the Union speech, but the minutes of NPR chatter i listened to from 6 pm until when i got home -- after the cheer for the President's entrance to the chamber -- turned me off. Our neighbors were listening: do the shows we watch carry like their watching did?

We watched Lie to Me and i've puttered, reading questions on Quora.com. I looked for She's Geeky attenders on there and found most of my searches turned up many more men in the results than women, and very few She's Geeky folks involved in Quora. Then i found a question about Google Maps that i thought i could improve on, but my experiments with KML quickly came to a dead end. Since i wanted to do the same thing the query was pointing at -- sharing tracks and geocoded photos on a map in my blog -- i was a little disappointed.

I may have a third trip to the east added to my calendar between 7 Feb and 11 March. At this rate, i might acrue enough points to actually do something with them some day.
