Be wary of Aahzlike work trances. They tend to be quite exhausting.

Yeah. I do them too now. And I live close to where I work.

I just flew into the office (which is very close to where I live) and boy are my arms exhausted.

I was thinking it must have hurt when you hit the building.

I was reading the politics room and somehow I went from 'read new' to 'read forward'. It was an odd blast fromt
he past. A mixture of 'yea I knew that', 'that is old news', and when will these new message end? I thought
there was only six.'

So I'm down in my work room (which looks suspiciously like a storage room, but with more bookshelves and leather scraps and tools and empty beer bottles) and I fired up the vintage 2004 iBook (1Ghz G4, 768M RAM, 20G HD) to watch more Clone Wars DVDs, since that's all it is good for these days. On a whim, I decided to check my e-mail, too (which doesn't require a modern browser, just ssh).

Even just tooling around and doing basic tasks with this machine, I'm reminded that their hardware really does have quite a bit of polish, and the interface is pleasant and consistent. My other computing environments are Windows XP (which is, I grant, a little behind the power curve) and Linux Mint Debian Edition (the Cinnamon desktop, I think). I like the latter quite a bit, but it still has some disconcerting oddities as far as where settings are placed and how reliably certain basic things (e.g. DVD playing) function.

No real point here. I just kind of wish I'd gotten a real chance to use this machine when it was current. I had it for about three weeks, and then my wife joined me (then in CA) and took custody immediately; I only got visitation rights on "my" new laptop until I bought her a new one in 2010.

Scraps. I was making a new ammo pouch for my revolver.

I set up a castle in the sky. Or, at least, a Citadel in the cloud (Amazon AWS free tier).

Leather Straps BBS? When will it interface with uncensored.

I'm not sure the network needs another one-user BBS. =)

It's called a "castle on a cloud" with respect to Les Miserables (the original one, the one that didn't suck).

Pro tip: always look up declension of your foreign nouns BEFORE you register a domain name.

That could have been bad.

I demand that Cracker Barrel change its name. It stereotypes and marginalizes white people.

Not sure what to do about arabella, but that could be more about my age, than who I am

fetlife does not interface with uncensored. I think ucg only ever had one hardcore bdsm'er, and that was like 7 years ago.

You can lead a horse to water. If he doesn't drink, you shove the firehose down his throat. Don't let a horse tell you what you can't do.
