I ordered a new LCD display to replace my old one, which died a few days ago. I selected fre “Express Saver” shipping and I’ve been tracking it online. It arrived at the FedEx facility Saturday night, but is just sitting in the warehouse because it isn’t due for delivery until tomorrow.
I’ve been waiting since December to have my patio enclosed. They measured it when I placed my order, and it took all this time to get the necessary permits and all of the required materials. They guy came this morning and after working a few hours he discovered the manufacturer sent the wrong windows. Now I have to wait a few more days for them to finish. They already installed the door & frame, with the space for the windows boarded up.
Jimi sent me this picture from his studio. A few days ago, I received copies of his album, which I’m helping him get listed at CD Baby.
I just got back from my trip. It was very successful – we were able to get everything working and they’re very happy. Unfortunately I now have a pretty bad cold and I feel like crap. I only got about 4 hours of sleep Wednesday night, which didn’t help.
IT Business Edge has a nice interview with a manager from my company.
I have to travel to Virginia for work later this week and I’m NOT looking forward to it. I have to get up 4:30 AM, leave early in the morning and go straight to the client when I get there. The next day I fly home late at night. I’ve been feeling like crap lately, with some kind of cold that’s been going around. I’m not as sick as almost everyone here, but I still don’t feel great and I haven’t been able to get much sleep with this.
Via MetaFilter: Hunter S Thompson commits suicide. This hit me as a big shock first thing in the morning. More links here.
I’ve changed the name of my weblog to /dev/random which sounds cooler than “Mike Cohen’s Weblog” and reflects the content.

I have a simple command in my .bash_profile to list events which occurred on this date in history. Today it shows absolutely nothing. For anyone interested, the command is: alias today='cat /usr/share/calendar/calendar.* | grep `date +"%m/%d"`'
On most days it will show something like this:
01/28 First ski tow, Woodstock VT, 1914
01/28 Space Shuttle Challenger (51-L) explodes 74 seconds after liftoff
01/28* Tu bi-Shevat
01/28 Jimi Hendrix headlines Madison Square Garden, 1970
