Productive day off

Unlike much of the rest of the world, I seem to have had yesterday off. (Either that, or I'm about to go to work and get a rude surprise.) But I actually managed to get things done for once:
- Laundry.
- Zipcar'd to Furniture Store of DOOM! in Natick. It was impressive, and I'm glad I went, and I found a bed frame I liked (could, actually, be this, though their online catalog seems a little sparse), didn't actually buy anything. (Do these things normally cost $600-1000?) Didn't catch a movie.
- Since I had the car and was in the area, drove around Framingham kind of aimlessly for a bit, then rail-geeked around the commuter rail station. Maps show one line heading north and two south from Framingham, and somewhat surprisingly, they all seem to still be active.
- Installed "new" hard drive I bought in June. Started the long and arduous (well, long, anyways) process of formatting it; exhaustive badblocks check looks like it'll take a couple of days.
- Started poking at wireless router. Only useful if I can get a kernel onto it that supports IP-over-IP tunnelling (or perhaps IPSec, though I don't understand that terribly). If I can get a shell on it, I'll see if the Linksys kernel supports it (unlikely), or if one of the prebuilt kits out there supports it (only vaguely likely), before trying to build my own thing. Handily, I already have a Decaf compiler in Haskell for it if I need that.
