Sun+Fun
I woke up today at almost 2 PM, which was astonishing. I would probably be nocturnal by mid-august if it weren’t for the trip to Florida today (I haven’t even started packing yet). This afternoon I went to the beach … Continue reading

Whoops
This site has been up and down lately, for a number of reasons, including OS installation, power outages, and a great deal of ineptitude on my part. I can’t promise any improvements, either, since I can’t promise an increase in … Continue reading

Similar Day
Today was similar to yesterday: messing with the computer in the morning, running with Kieran in the afternoon followed by a political discussion, and a gathering in the evening. Only this evening, the gathering was A Scanner Darkly a new … Continue reading

Unusual
I woke up at noon. I tried to get my computer to boot a customized kernel, but it wouldn’t. This is making me angry at Ubuntu Linux; I may switch the computer to Gentoo Linux, which seems to be much … Continue reading

Back from Boston
