I'm living in a new place as of yesterday, an apartment, the first time I've lived in one in a long time. It's on the first floor. Above me is a family with a kid. They seem to be moving furniture all the time. I have a hard time imagining how people could spend so much time moving furniture. Me, I never move furniture, except perhaps when I'm getting up from a desk or a dining table, when I push the chair back. But that's it. Otherwise I accept furniture location as-is. I'm not a control freak about furniture location, as my upstairs neighbors appear to be.  

The overnight emails haven't been going out for some time, not sure how long. Just a configuration problem oin the server. I'm going to have to keep my eye on this one. In the meantime, sorry that the people who read Scripting News via email have missed some of the new stuff.
