Sideways voting

A lot of people died, but it is good to see around 60% of Iraq has an ink stained finger. Though it looks like turnout in the predominantly Sunni areas is low.

Finally killed all the bugs left in the system here at the office, I think. Doing a network rewire and a server reorg is always fun. You just never know what interesting problem is going to crop up. I was mostly trouble free though. I still want a sunny day in exchange. I did manage to get a bit of sun at the beach yesterday with the P’s & dog.

Anna and I were tossing around the idea of driving up to San Louis Obispo on Thursday for the farmer’s market and some camping. After finally seeing Sideways on Friday, that plan will probably cement a bit more. I though the movie was great. It was fun to see a movie feature a place you know well. “Hey! I’ve been tasting there!” I have no idea how Paul Giamatti didn’t get nominated for best actor. Depp was good in Neverland, but Giamatti did such a better job, with a much harder role.

I’m tempted to telefile again this year, as it is free. But with Anna and I joint filing, I don’t know how that would work. Anyway, if you follow this link from the IRS you can use the federal, online version of a lot of programs (Quicken, H&R Block, etc) for free. You have to pay 9 or 10 dollars to efile though. However, don’t you have to pay to efile with the full program versions as well?

You can file your CA taxes for free with the FTB’s CalFile.
