Widget the Priestess, part 3

Attentive as I am, I miswrote Widget as 'priest' clear through my notes. Now that I'm at home with the game I see der, is female.

Moving on (spoilers ahead)... )

Nethacking

Widget the Priestess, part 1.

Folks on my friendslist who don't play Nethack, remember: it's never too late to start! (Especially those of you who are or have been stuuuudents of someone I knooooow and are therefore probably too young to have played Nethack back in "the day.")

What Your Taste in Chocolate Says About You



You are sophisticated, modern, and high class.

Your taste is refined, but you are not picky.

You are often the first to try something new.



You are driven and focused. You crave success.

A total perfectionist, you hold yourself to high standards.

While you life a charmed life, people feel like you are too hard on them.



You love working, making deals, and succeeding. You like to be a part of the action.

You feel lost when you're bored. There's little more fulfilling that your career.

Back

Back from vacation! Saw many intertidal marine lifes. YES LIFES. life plural.

Clearing out the emaily type stuff for work now. Not up to more than that yet. But I am here and we're safe and home and stuff. Woo.

Vacation

Countdown

One more day and then vacation!

And I'm ahead of schedule! I really didn't expect either of the magazines that weren't ready to go to press yesterday to get there today. So that leaves me with only one for tomorrow, and some ad file cleanup.

Vacation

The countdown continues

4 more days of workings. 4 days, and 3 publications to send to press within them. At least all 3 have been completely built and are now in proofing!

Also! You must all go to abc.com, click on Dancing with the Stars thingies until the voting stuff comes up, and vote for Penn. He needs the help. Maybe if we keep him on the show for a few weeks he will get smooth in the feet and then it will be AWESOME.

Basic Accounts Discontinued

Unfortunately, I have yet to see an alternative that's not essentially suck. Livejournal serves an interesting mixed-medium purpose: it's one part social networker and one part blog. It's not really one hundred percent either of those things. It's not Facebook and it's not Typepad. It's somewhere in between.

It has friend-list capabilities and blog-format posting. These are the bare minimums of a replacement product.

However, a replacement product must be "good enough" that it's better than an ad-supported LJ account. It must have not just enough features to be that good, but must also be as elegant and as uncluttered as an ad-supported LJ account.

And then, it must not be ad-supported.

[info]linnetowl suggests Vox, a SixApart (!) product. Anyone on my flist use it? Can anyone say anything about its ability to function as a social networker? I can see from the main page that it should function just fine as a blog.

Get on the stick

A poll (and no spiffy LJ poll, just comment).

Do you know what "get on the stick" means?

What does it mean, then?

ETA: Yes, it means get with it, stop lollygagging, get off your butt, etc. However, apparently quite a few people I talk to (online) have no idea what it means, so I'm wondering if it's regional. Or hickspeak, as apparently a few of my sayings are...

If you're not afraid of the government watching everything you do - and if you're not, there's something wrong with you considering what Congress has done - you might want to click this link that is probably not going to fix anything but will possibly improve your feeling of grim self-satisfaction.

Worry

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats. (Howard Aiken)

Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. (Henry David Thoreau)

You probably wouldn't worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do. (Olin Miller)

Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world. (Lily Tomlin)
