Lots of driving today; about five hours worth, to be specific. My neck, shoulders, and left arm hurt like hell - I think I badly need to readjust the driver's seat, as this happens every time I drive for a long time in that car...
Driving into downtown Albany to pick up Adrienne from the train station[1] was...weird. The ramp complex coming off 787 and the brief glimpses of the city that I got made me feel like I was inside some immense machine, built by giants for some unknown purpose.
I got the ipw2100 card Alex lent me working in snark. Well, mostly working - I get "Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart" in my system log every few minutes, but it does seem to work overall. Will test WPA with it when I go home for intersession - hopefully I'll have better luck than I did with the Atheros card snark came with[2].
It snowed while I was gone. Everything's white, and thecratergiant pothole in the driveway is under a deceptive white blanket. I feel sorry for whoever fails to notice it and breaks an axle.
The end of the semester is nearing. Doom.

[1]: Not that I was in downtown Albany for long - I ended up missing my turn and going quite a ways down 9/20 before realizing "hey, I was here when I dropped her off before" and turning onto 4 and going from there to pick her up, on the off chance that anyone cares.
[2]: God, the drivers (both madwifi and madwifi-ng) for Atheros cards are such an unbearable clusterfuck. Even this thing that spams my syslog has got to be better.
