Moving to Dreamwidth
I've opened an account at Dreamwidth, and I'll be posting there from now on. You can continue to follow my posts as zvi explains. I realize this may be inconvenient for some of you, and I do apologize for that.
I'll continue to follow my LJ friends and comms, and will retain this account for commenting, comm participation, and the like. -
What's a secondary IDE channel?
More pertinently, why does its failure keep my computer from working? I woke up to this very unpleasant message Sunday morning, and have been offline since then, and likely will continue so until I can stop playing phone tag with the service technician.
If you need to get a hold of me, a few of the ottawa_slashers gang have my number ( Read more... ) -
Writing Year in Review
A bunch of folks over at thedailywriter are doing these to kick off the new writing year. My achievements in creative writing during 2008:- I drafted about 200 000 words of fiction.
- Half was original fantasy fiction for my NaNoWriMo novel, which has the kernel, I think, of a good book.
- The rest was split between the beginnings of three fanfics: a Dark Angel, a Dark ( Read more... )

What Is Evil?
A few days ago, njc2007 talked about an answer than sprang, fully formed, visciously drawn, and passionlessly delivered, to her lips in response to an ethical question. I know I've answered questions before without conscious processing or formulation of the answers, but I think never in the articulate way she described. My unconscious answers tend to be ( Read more... ) -
Working Around the Transit Strike
I've arranged for the use of a car during my house sitting stint, but I'd still like to carpool whenever possible to minimize my traffic and greenhouse gas contribution. Starting next week, I'll be commuting from Rockcliffe Park to the Merivale/Colonnade area. If you know of anyone who overlaps that commute, I'd like to get in touch with them, ( Read more... ) -
Fangirling Is Fun
I have so much fun at the ottawa_slashers meet-ups that I look forward to them for weeks, and tend to linger for hours on the day. I walked for two hours to get to today's, and it was so very worth it ( Read more... ) -

Episode Re-somethings: Supernatural 4.01-4.04
