The Weekend...
The weekend was completely relaxing and uneventful. It started with the
latest Battlestar Galactica. The guest was Michelle Forbes,
previously Ro Laren on The Next Generation. I was right, Number Six
did have a "new look" in this show, all beaten up. Ron Moore is a the
cliffhanger artist: the cliffhanger is intense, even for his style, and will
have to last until January. In his podcast about the episode, he ends by
saying smugly: "and that's how you do a cliffhanger, boys and girls."
I spent a great deal of time searching for phaser-paint this week. The original props on the show were done with a Plastikote shade that is rare in the States, and non-existant in Canada. Today, the search concluded, when I confirmed that the Dupli-Color bought at Canadian Tire last week is actually the correct match.
Lastly, I started thinking about adding DBus support to wpa_supplicant. If this could be done before the Gnome Summit maybe a NetworkManager hacking session could be provoked.
