Received my tax refund today. Refunds are getting faster by the year. E-tax filing has never been more convenient..

正月休み最終日は孫と凧上げ。やる気満々が3分もしないうちに電線に絡むトラブル。
中部電力に電話したら20分で駆けつけてくれました。優しいお兄さん2人がトラックで来て取ってくれた。孫は大喜び。

My interest in magic has been waning so year-end parties have become a drag.

Performed my last trick of the year at last night's _bounenkai_. Crypotext has been fun to play with. 01145 turns out to _shiro_ if you're into _koh haku_ themes.

Just created an AutoHotkey script to present a dialog with my usual clients and a date and time control. I choose the client, specify the deadline on a monthly calendar, and type a descriptor. Script creates a folder named with the entered info and puts a shortcut on the desktop.

クロ現で「木が突然落ちてくる相次ぐ倒木　一体何が」を放送していて、森の中でもキノコや白アリの被害で倒木するのに、街路樹というのは自然の摂理を無視してるのかなと思う。これで通学中の子供が被害に遭うのはやるせ無い。

What this means is that essentially, I had no work today...because I finished early ;p

Spent the better part of the day cleaning out my PC: fans, heat sink, cabling, etc. Got it down to an art form where I can tear down and rebuild in less than an hour.

Hope the skies here stay blue.
