Loose Screws
We've all got them. That collection of random leftover hardware from past projects, saved because "it will be useful someday". Well, that day is here ( Read more... ) -
Days
Saturday:
Woke up way too early. Again. Was almost asleep again when my brain kicked into gear and all the thoughts swirling around in there wouldn't let me get back to sleep. Eventually, Persis kicked me out of bed to go deal with things, which I did for a bit. (During which time I found this LJ entry that somehow didn't get posted.) Then I realized ( Read more... ) -
Early Day
Woke up Way Too Early this morning. OTOH, I got to see a really pretty sunrise. (From my desk, while working on two projects at once.) -

Pressboard and veneer construction. It would make a fine dining, projects, or gaming table. Or, it could be used as a conference table again. (Not being ( Read more... ) -
Fucking Spammers
Spammers, not content to send me crap that I don't want, have taken to forging mail to look like it is coming from my primary email account. For now, email to that account will bounce with a message that says 'unknown user'.There are several possible responses to this. I've already implemented the two most obvious¹² without much in the way of ( Read more... )
