In early August I wrote a blog entry that celebrated the end (so I thought) of nearly three months of tooth-related pain and suffering, with a lovely x-ray of the root canal I’d just had done. For those of you who weren’t here, or weren’t paying attention, or got really bored of my whining: the [...]

Friday Cat Blogging: Oh well, I didn’t need sleep anyways
My friend Bill sent this to me earlier this week: a time-lapse video of a guy sleeping, and the cat that pesters him in the night.
It’s pretty much a reenactment of Simon’s Cat, so for any of you who’ve never owned a cat and thought that that cartoon was an exaggeration, now you know [...]
Nerd confession time
The fact that I’m sitting in front of 3 computers right now suggests that I am really, really geeky.
What’s even geekier is that I’m using all three at once. One isn’t enough, neither is two. Okay, one of them is just playing music right now, but that’s a very important function.
I bought a refurbished [...]
Gillian’s First Crochet Pattern she made herself, really
A few weeks ago I was showing my friend Chrissy these dishcloths I’d been making, using a pattern I’d made up in my head because I was too lazy to look one up on the internet. She complimented me on them and said I should publish the pattern, so here it is below. As it’s [...]

Post-election happiness and relief (but not what you think)
If anyone tried to reach this blog and failed last night, it was because I was using my webserver to fix my Tivo. Luckily there was no point watching TV last night other than live, so I didn’t miss anything.
Speaking of elections, I know several of you are suffering hangovers from celebrations (or sadness) last [...]
I write like a guy
Somewhere on the internets I read about GenderAnalyzer, a website that evaluates the writing on a website of your choosing and uses AI to determine if it’s written by a man or a woman. I tested my blog on it, obviously. In case you can’t read the writing in the picture above, here it is [...]
Hi
I haven’t posted in a week because nothing’s happened worth mentioning, really.
I could go into detail about this contract job I’m doing migrating a database from QuickBase to DabbleDB, but I’ve bored enough technical people with it and I don’t see why you should have to suffer as well. Maybe later, when I’m finished [...]
