While everyone else is snatching up HP Touchpads for $99 as soon as they pop up at another seller's site, I'm backing up my stuff in preparation for a new computer. I didn't mean to buy a new one, especially since I'm moving next week, but my family happened to congregate at my grandmother's house while I was eating with her, and my dad pulled out ( Read more... )

Today's xkcd=story of my life.I have Irssi and Bitlbee running on Dora now. It is very cool, and the black screen of the terminal makes me wish I knew about it several years ago when I was getting computer-related headaches all the time. My only real complaint after about a week is that the Twitter client isn't designed for users as active as I am ( Read more... )

Woot! This means I have shiny Linux back and my SD slot, among other things. I fixed the sound and the public key that kept the updates from updating today, so all was well. This would have happened earlier, but I was lazy and didn't really care thanks to having Yoshi to supplement the sound ( Read more... )

My computer is beeping. This will not end well.

It's just a beep every now and then, not enough to be obnoxious, but enough to be annoying. Just in case this spells doom, I've backed up my NaNo novel in multiple places (and luckily I've backed up all my other fiction recently).

Eep.

I've been cleaning out the files on my computer. When I got to my writing folder (which by the way, I am backing up, never fear), I came across this document.

My roommate's dad just used my computer. Let me tell you, there is nothing like trying to access Orbitz and finding, among other things, Paul and Storm, the FF7 house of craziness, Craigslist, and Slashdot, among others. Why, I embrace my oh-so-crazy Internet selections! Lucky for me he wasn't very Internet savvy. I had to enable NoScript for ( Read more... )

Some random tidbits from my first week back that just don't fit anywhere else ( Read more... )

My computer's clock is on 24-hour time because I'm weird like that. I turned away from my problem sets to change a song earlier this afternoon to change a song, and I noticed the time ( Read more... )

I went back to DSC today to pick up my copy of the Exemplar. They chose the one in which I compared myself to my parents. Oh my, I came off as such a bitch, like I was better than them or something, which isn't true at all. Apparently I wasn't over the teen angst thing, and it showed in the essay. Grah. The sad part was that they chose that ( Read more... )

Okay, time for a proper update.

First, I haven't started reorganising my room yet. I did get a lot of clothes out of my closet that I don't wear anymore, but for some reason my closet is still packed. If someone could remind me why I own three winter jackets, it would be really nice.

Also, remember the honey I mentioned earlier? I remembered ( Read more... )
