Today at work, got most of the way through setting up a script to recursively monitor a directory for changes then run a script based on the files that changed. The last bit I need to figure out is a regular expression for extracting the parent directory of a file from the file’s full path. It’s doable, just a pain.
Also talked more about what to save from the current crisis, and a few other things. Felt like a productive day.
On the personal front, got tired of my hair being long and split-endy, so I cut a few inches off of it. It’s still long, just less annoying about it. It’s a little lopsided, but I can just put it in a bun if I ever feel self conscious about it. I used the classic “put it in a ponytail using two ponytail holders, slide a holder down a bit, then cut between the holders”. I also broke my hair-cutting scissors–the joint just snapped and I was left with two scissor-halves. I finished the job with my fabric scissors.
I swear I cut off 3 inches, it just doesn’t look like it.
I also decided to start sending mail to friend. I’m combining this with my desire to get back into painting. I’ll do some small watercolors and mail them off. I hope it puts a smile on faces.
