Took about 40 minutes, but traffic was about as favorable as I can imagine it being. Going home will be a bit more interesting, though, might take about an hour. There’s an annoyingly narrow road that is both A) the fastest route and B) suicidal to walk on in the afternoon, since it’s narrow, with no shoulders, and ditches on both sides. Coming to work there’s almost nobody coming toward you, so walking on the road isn’t so bad. Going home is a different story. Anyhoo.

Lessons learned from today’s walk:

- Plan my mornings better. I would’ve been a bit faster leaving the house if I got my stuff together the night before. Since walking extends my commute from 5-10 minutes to 40 minutes, I don’t have as much room for sloth in my morning.

- Find some more audiobooks & podcasts to listen to.

- Figure out lunches in advance. This is another case of “needing to plan ahead more, now that everything’s not 5 minutes away”. Perhaps I could swing by Wal-mart tonight and get what I need, then drop it off here on my way home, so I don’t have to haul it in with me each day. I’m not ready to kick my Diet Pepsi Max habit yet. :)

I’m currently trying just the server package, called “LightTPD for Windows” on the downloads page. They also have a WLMP Webserver Package that has other stuff built in. I don’t think I’ll need MySQL and such, but hey, if I do, it’s out there.
