yuletide
Yuletide nominations are open, and here is the info. If anyone needs an invite code for AO3, let me know. I've had one cooling its heels for years that no one's ever wanted. So, yeah, Fanfic YAY ( Read more... ) -
finally ;_;
I've turned off the poor, struggling air conditioner and opened my windows and doors again. It didn't do a great job, but I can't even imagine what it would have been like in here without that puppy perched in the window. We've been hovering in the high 90s up to 100+, with humidity from hell, and it wasn't even cooling off at night. We're supposed ( Read more... ) -
hey, i bring gifts :D
As it turns out, whatever was going on with my old laptop that kept me locked out of my box.net account, it's not happening on this new machine. Woo hoo! Let's celebrate! I have dumped a few more things into it. I'll leave this open for a week then lock it down--feel free to grab anything that sounds attractive in the meantime.

fingers crossed
I'm now on round 3 with this laptop after two complete system restores. This hasn't been going well. There have been software incompatibilities, a raging trojan infection, and peculiar behavior from supposedly compatible software. Also Windows 7 doesn't act like I expect it to act, which has resulted in files unexpectedly disappearing and others ( Read more... ) -
it's posted from the new machine.
I am posting via New Machine. I sent off the book on Friday, then I slept for a really, really long time, then on Saturday I sat down and started working on the big move. First, I let it sit for a few hours doing its battery drain/recharge thing. Then I made some factory-defaults restore disks. Then I uploaded a few preliminary bits of software ( Read more... ) -
it's here...
It's here, and it's lovely. It is a pretty laptop. (I didn't realize it would be.) It's more or less the same size as the one I'm using, but it weighs less. Now it is gulping down antivirus and Windows updates, and I'm trying to ignore it so that I can get more chapters read. Evidently I need to make some recovery disks, as it came with . . .

holee cow
I have just spent a lot of money on a new(ish) laptop, which is due to arrive in about a week. Haa haa, hyperventilating.

worrying
Apparently winter is over -- a few months early. I've got flowers blooming already and have been woken up twice by thunderclaps outside during huge rainstorms. Right now, the wind is blowing like a sonuvabitch. This isn't supposed to be happening. I don't know.
etaHa. I started to type this last night, but my stupid laptop shut down again, so I ( Read more... ) -
stoopid files
Have book, am irritated. For some reason, the entire manuscript--not just the chapters with equations--was typed up in LaTeX. So all the book files are conversions. It's an unholy mess of a sort I haven't seen in years. I'm not even going to try cleaning this up; I'm going to edit what's here and let the typesetter tackle the Word style disaster.
