Done Since 2021-10-24
So, it was a week. Nothing bad happened, and I was somewhat busier than usual, with actual writing projects. (Which I can't really say anything else about until they go live in a month or so. But still.) So I guess I Got Stuff Done, but it still didn't feel like a good week.
I miss Colleen. (This should surprise no-one, but it's not something I've been consciously thinking about recently.) Partly, I grieve for the many things we never got around to doing together. Probably worth a post later this week.
I never got around to watching the current episode of Foundation; now there are two in my queue. Not sure they're worth watching. Dune, on the other hand, has gotten good reviews.
Lots of links. I went down a rabbit hole to find a Git plugin for WordPress. VersionPress looked like the best of the lot, and it was abandoned over a year ago. All of the others were abandoned even earlier. Grumble. (One of the new projects involves WP.)

In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake. 5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person. @ An Intuitive Guide To Exponential Functions & e - BetterExplained : Pegasus Awards Copied here: Best Mad Science: I Built a Time Machine, Eric Distad Best Cheery-Ose: Tiny Kraken, Rhiannon's Lark Best Writer/Composer: Lawrence Dean Best Performer: Rhiannon's Lark and The Faithful Sidekicks tie Best Classic Filk: Nessie Come Up Dr. J Robinson Best Filk: Second-Hand Heaven - Lawrence Dean
