Well, only two. And only one-way. But still.
I didn’t end up going out of town to my grandmother’s funeral; the logistics were ugly even before the heightened airport alerts. David very kindly took me out to dinner on Saturday, and I abstracted my work ID from my work bag just in case I wanted to take the bus back, since my work ID is also my bus pass.
Unfortunately, putting my work ID back in my work bag slipped my mind entirely, so I missed my bus this morning. This was emphatically not something I wanted to do on the day of the big DSpace upgrade.
So I quick-marched myself the two miles to campus. In sandals. Made it only twenty minutes late; my feet now hate me, but nothing is actually bleeding or blistered, so I’m calling it a win.
The upgrade entailed the usual few rocky moments, mostly having to do with me omitting some necessary database and configuration tweaks, but it seems to be functional now except for the RSS feeds, which still do not work on OS X. (If somebody else has RSS feeds working on an OS X installation of DSpace, please get in touch so I can compare notes!)
I get a reward, though—tomorrow and Wednesday at the Adaptive Path conference! How I managed that is a slightly shady story that I’ll come clean about later. For now, I’m really looking forward to it!
