It’s Saturday so I got to sleep in. I think I got up around 7:30 which was nice. I decided to have a lazy morning and did nothing in particular until about 11:00 when Alena messaged to see if we were coming down to Maker Faire. We were going but I wasn’t sure when since Andrew was still kind of blah. She told me that Tiberias and Rialla were asking where I was so I figured I should get moving and head down there. I showered quickly and figured out who was going. It turned out to be just Andrew and I. We got down there and there was quite a good turn out. Much busier and larger than it was two years ago so that was really nice to see.
Superhero Tiberias!
We wandered through the booths to get an idea of what was there, found Alena and the kids and then Dave found us. We had a great time looking at all of the interesting things. So many things to see and it was such a beautiful day. We were there for quite a while and I could tell Andrew was done so we headed to the car. I asked if it would be ok for me to stop at World Market to look for some towels I am on the hunt for and Andrew thought that would be ok. Once we got there his eyes lit up when he saw there was a Seattle Coffee Gear right next door. We went there first because I had been wanting to get him a new tamper for his birthday but it really required him testing and picking out his own. He found one he really liked and we also got a French press. I didn’t find the towels I was looking for but found a wonderful purple and grey quilt. I dragged Andrew around to a few more stores but no luck finding the towels. We did find a crank table we really like and picked up a Toddy for making cold brew coffee.
It was after 17:00 by this point and we really needed to get home. Once we were back we started some coffee in the Toddy, worked on getting my taskd server running so I could sync my Mirakel tasks and looked at the kitchen to figure out how we might want to lay it out. Andrew got my taskd server running and added a cronjob so that it auto starts when I reboot the computer. We kind of looked at kitchen design and then decided we should have pizza for dinner. We needed to get there before 20:00 and it was 19:30 but Alice and Jason came to pick up Ladybug, their wonderful black lab that hangs out at our house from time to time. We all got to talking and laughing and oops we were too late for pizza. Oh well, their company is better than pizza anyway. Wayne, Andrew, Natale and I went to the Thai place around the corner instead and it was yummy as always. Jayde was having a “double” sleepover at Estelle’s so she was not with us.
We headed back to the house and messaged Alice that we were going to watch a movie and have popcorn. She came over and we watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It was SO good! Ben Stiller did a fantastic job as actor and director. Another great end to another great day in this awesome city I get to call home. I love it here!
Today I learned about crontab and cronjobs. I also learned that man pages have additional sections that don’t just automatically come up when running a particular man page request. For instance, ‘man crontab’ will bring up the basics of crontab but there are several different sections that discuss crontab and one would have to specify the particular section in a man command(i.e, man 5 crontab).
