I’m reworking my resume generation chain.
I have one base file for my resume and then I generate different formats from that one file. All automatically through Apache Ant. Now I’m reworking the toolchain so that I generate an XSL-FO document. Then I convert that to PDF, RTF, and XHTML. So far the PDF and RTF conversion is about halfway done.
The point of this script is to take meta-information about my personal coding projects and to create a set of nice HTML pages describing each project. I will be using Perl and XML for this.
K hit something on her drive in today and damaged the plastic underbody cowling causing it to drag along the ground. Since she was occupied and I have a lot of free time on my hands, she asked me to take a look at it and fix it. The first step was to cut off the damaged section. There was still a loose bit of the cowling that I thought might damage the tire, so I had to find someway to secure it. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any cord or twine with me, not even in my truck. But K had some dental floss in the car, and I think that will work well.
My Dad. Because whenever I have a problem like this, I stop to think “What would my Dad do?”.
And the answer is: the simplest, cheapest thing possible that will work. Which I think is a great thing to keep in mind.
I’ve just completely reinstalled WordPress which is good. Also I did not export all of the content using the WordPress export feature which is bad. So now I have a database dump file that I’m going to have to fiddle with by hand until I can put it into the new WordPress database. The lesson is: Set yourself up for success by being able to get back to where you started from.

Length: 7.4 miles
Elevation Gain: 730 ft
Configuration: loop
From the alternate trailhead, leave via the north corner of the parking lot and try to walk straight towards the mountain. There will be a path that that crosses the one that you are one, but keep moving in a forward direction. You will follow a trail down into the wash and then walk northeast for maybe 50 feet. You should see another trail that climbs out of the wash.
It was a really nice hike. The 60 Hikes In 60 Miles book estimated the hike time to be 3.5 hours. We did it in 3. We will probably do this one again. We did have some difficulty finding the trail from the alternate trailhead, but it go more smoothly next time.
After a long hiatus, I have gone back to the gym. My lifting numbers are not far off of where I left them, which is impressive. And I wasn’t too tired even though I have not eaten well for the last few days. I am determined to make this a trend.
