Shooting with the Microsoft gun group

20090207: Went shooting with Microsoft gun group at pit near Sultan (left about 0930; arrived late at the meetup point in Woodinville, but so did everyone else, it turned out; headed on to the shooting pit, arrived first, at about 1100; others arrived 5-10 minutes later).


We were shooting until about 1320, and then picked up trash until about 1400, then some of us went over to the Redhook brewery in Woodinville to eat (and drink). I called Honey and she came and joined us; six in all, including the two of us. I think we got home around 1730.

You can view the rest of the photos of the msgun shooting event (excluding dupes due to rapid-fire shooting to capture a particular shot); link goes to the thumbnail and photo viewer that I built Sunday to cull and show the photos (internally, the tools allow marking and unmarking photos for deletion; no file deletion is done, just database updates).

Tried fixing up ClamAV permissions (having it run as qscand via setting in /etc/clamd.conf so it can access /var/spool/qscan, which is where files to scan live, and adding qscand to the clamav group and then setting group write permissions on /var/run/clamav). I take back what I said about ClamAV before; at least it has standard (Apache-style) configuration files, whereas for qmail-scanner-queue, which is a rat's nest of (v4) perl, modification is either via rebuilding and passing options to configure, or by editing the perl program directly. I'm not going to re-enable ClamAV yet, but at least next time Gentoo updates qmail-scanner, I have a fighting chance of having it not break on ClamAV.

20090208: Honey's friend Anna from school came by to help her with math. Wrote some web-based utilities to filter photos from the shooting yesterday and then some more code to show thumbnails.

Books finished: The Man In the High Castle.
