Looking forward to Disney, almost. Starting to be real.

In case anyone who watches this (I don’t look – I probably should start watching…), I and my roommate booked a trip to Disney quite some time ago. We’re going in early May, so it’s earnestly creeping up on us.

I’ve been avoiding getting into it very much. It will be my first trip in a plane, more than an 8-hour drive away, which is about the maximum I’ve been since I was *5*. (and that was to Saskatchewan/Alberta border area).

Even applying for my passport and finally getting it didn’t engender any special attachment. Getting it verified by someone was the most interesting – I’d never seen where Bill worked before, and it’s some interesting stuff sometimes.

Now… in a week I’ll probably be poring over the documentation. Buying new (comfortable!) sandals. Looking at maps. Checking out restaurants.

I hope it’s not anticlimactic.

Trying to troubleshoot something lately, and thought I’d leave this out there.

Reason: Wanted to import the certificate into thunderbird to get rid of an error when I opened it. (my default account on home server is imaps)

Command eventually settled on:

openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem -in mail.pks > pkcstest

It’ll prompt for a password and that’s it. You’ll need to enter that same password when importing.

Only when it failed did I realize why I still get the popup – the *name* is still invalid. (temporary internal DNS issue I don’t want to mess with), so… end result no better. Sigh.

That’s probably an appropriate non-epiphany.

“The End Of The Affair” by Graham Greene.

First half of book, I could identify with to a… depressingly annoying degree. I think it would have made a poignant story at that. The second half attempted some sort of resolution, and fell short of any actual expression, I think.

Still.

Should probably read more. It’s so unusual for me to take a week or two to finish a book, especially one as small and simple.
