Why did 2011 be the year that decided to top 2010 for stress ( Read more... )

I'm looking at my Friends List right now, and it's kind of amazing how many are apparently MIA on LJ. I know that a bunch of people are on DW and Facebook now - DW doesn't really interest me, and I recently deactivated my Facebook account. So it been kind of quiet, gossip-wise ( Read more... )

Just for grins, I'm trying out an Android app for LJ. We'll see how well this works...

So this semester has been tough. In my Systems Development class, my project partner seems to have vanished, so the professor is having me do an abbreviated version of the project. I'm just keeping my head above water in my Web Development class, too. And the ( Read more... )

Some of you may recall that I've written an LJ client for Windows, called MultiLJ. From what I can tell so far, there's not an LJ app for Android, so I'm thinking about writing one. It would be an interesting and useful application of what I've been learning in my college Java and System Development classes, and I'm already experienced in how the ( Read more... )

So this is Sept. 11th. I'm marking the day by noting my general objection to extremism - religious (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, and so on), political, and personal. Moderation in all things - it shows the ability to take in and understand all points of view, even if you don't agree with them...

So I went back to Normal (hey, that's what I take medications for...). Seriously, I visited ISU last Tuesday to do some research and run a couple of errands. The main thing I found out was that I have a couple of options regarding my attendance there. One option is to take the one class I'm currently registered for and run away at the end of the ( Read more... )

I'm looking for advice on how to most effectively air condition my apartment. I currently have three window units, but one is on its last legs (at best), another is making more noise than cold air, and the third is probably too small for its location. The apartment is a two-bedroom unit with two main rooms, as well as a kitchen and bath. There are ( Read more... )
