Saturday

Cool and clear outside, the sun shining. We took a trip to Ikea last night to return a bunch of stuff we didn't use for the kitchen. It was the very last available day to do so, the 90th day after purchase . Had to end up getting a van to pick us up and drop us off, and then a car to take us back. It cost almost the same as renting a car for a day, which is pretty expensive in the city, but without the hassle. Anyway, it was a successful trip, we got like $500 back, and used a credit we had from paying with my debit card to buy a few other smaller things. All in all we were home by 10 or so.

Had a lot of errands to run today. Need to get more tiles for the backsplash, move stuff from the old to the new fridge, throw away a lot of cardboard boxes, go to home depot to get a brush so I can apply the sealant to the countertops, etc. Busy weekend. Plus 2 great soccer games at 2 today, both Barca and Madrid play!

BTW, forgot to mention I got an email from an ex-colleague from college this week, Sergi. He is doing very well, a big boss at a pharmaceutical company in Spain, the guys that make Gelocatil (equivalent to Tylenol in the US)

blog spammers again

Geez, had to spend 20 min last night removing spurious entries from the comments database, blog spam. People, typically in Asia, paid to post links to spam sites. Pretty annoying. I don't think it's bots because the number of entries is always limited and they are careful to find a deep page in the site so I won't find it right away. The logs show me all these hits from like Egypt or China or Qatar which is when I realize they are at it again. I have been resisting putting in more security but I may have to do it eventually. I ended up removing a couple hundred entries altogether.
