--I suppose it's progress that my brain has shifted from going blank when I try to think of anything but linkspam to post to having thoughts on things I want to/should post but not managing to actually do it. This is closer to a normal state of affairs, although the frustration of it is a bit more keen, too; I'm all too familiar with having an ( Read more... )

--For the second evening in a row (at least), my brain's refusing to settle on anything terribly useful. I've whittled some tabs down, but so haphazardly that I don't even have the feeling of "at least I got something done". (Not sure how that works, when clearly I have, even if it was something of no particular significance. But hey, I'm down to ( Read more... )

As I was reading a comment on my last post, my eyes fell on the post content, specifically the list of tech names. And it only just occurred to me that it's now possible, since I've named my laptop after Alec Hardison (the hacker on Leverage), that someone might assume my ereader is named after Eliot Spencer (the hitter on Leverage), and that I ( Read more... )

[I think still-unanswered DW/LJ comments are not getting answered. >.> Sorry about that.]I'm basically making this post in hopes of convincing myself that it's okay to peel away from the computer and GO TO BED, which has to happen in the name of my being awake enough tomorrow to do the work that needs doing. That said, despite not getting started ( Read more... )

--Guys, I am down to only 223 open tabs on Mahir! (Desktop system.) And okay, yes, that's WAY TOO MANY TABS, but it wasn't that long ago that I was regularly running with over 400 open. And tonight I also finally finished digging through all the tabs open on Lincoln (laptop) from the Ontario trip, so they're all closed now--not all dealt with, in ( Read more... )

There are only about fourteen hours left on this long-since-funded Kickstarter (I had it open in a tab long enough that I missed the early-bird version of the lowest level, which is all I wanted--oops!), but hey, that's still fourteen hours, in case anyone wants to check it out: "Fantasy Coloring Books for (so-called) Grown-ups"The Kickstarter is ( Read more... )

There's a reason why my operating systems languish without updates (sometimes literally without a single one) between reinstalls, even though Linux makes it dead easy and you don't have to back everything up before running updates unless you're really paranoid. That reason is that I'm really paranoid about my data ( Read more... )
