The upside of having a sensible amount of money in your bank account is that if you write checks for more money than you realized, you won’t end up paying penalties to them. The downside of having a sensible amount of money in your bank account is that, when someone for whatever reason gets a court order to hold what’s in there, it can be a bit more than you liked.

I’ve been meaning to install and test OpenVPN, in particular for the wifi network at home but it could come in handy in other situations as well.
To replace the homebrew backup scripts I was thinking of trying Bacula, but haven’t gotten beyond apt-get install bacula yet.
I tried to install GRAMPS but it looks like it’s not all the way available through Debian yet, so maybe later.
Moving the blog from an internal site to a publicly visible URL and, considering it’s behind an elaborate network of redirects, it’s a small miracle if it all works.

Being a programmer I tend to prefer writing things myself. Being practical, I know that there is software out there, written, debugged and polished, that I simply don’t have the time for to create something even remotely similar. So today I ran across WordPress and decided to give it a go. An afternoon of fighting with CSS and it’s starting to look like something I could almost live with. Time to go live? Not sure, but it’s getting close.
