So, It's Not That I'm Officialy Back On LJ Or Something, But--
So, it's not that I'm officially back on LiveJournal or something, but I thought that--since it'd been maybe three years--I ought to just log in.
I've been on Facebook, chiefly.
Anyone who has been super-nice to me here on LiveJournal, message me and a) remind me who you are (by definition, it's been years, after all), and b) ask--assuming that ( Read more... ) -
SPOCK ON!
A reader alerted me to the fact that Leonard Nimoy is retiring. Here are some Vulcan Salutes rendered in ASCII:

The first Vulcan Salute in ASCII is generic--I've seen it before in .sigs. The individual who invented the last two versions of the ASCII Vulcan Salute asks for attribution, and I'm happy to give attribution:

B-Minus-Plus
If there's such a letter-grade as B-Minus Plus, that's what I'd give to And Another Thing..., Eoin Colfer's Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy sequel. Quick--before I tell you why it gets a B-Minus Plus--scroll down to the post from Friday, September 19th, 2008 titled "A Man Can Dream, Can't He? or, Infinite Implausibility Drive." There you'll find ( Read more... ) -
Looks as if it finally worked
Well, that took hours longer than I thought it would.
Sigh.
I hope it was worth it. Since this process took forever, I'm basically too tired to: a) do a last-minute read-through/ proofreading; b) remove the 'adult' material and crosspost it to the Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica LiveJournal communities. I'll eventually get to that ( Read more... ) -

This isn't going to work
Uh, there's no good compromise with relation to the different kinds of html and rich text; I keep ending up with a bunch of unwanted line breaks and other nonsense. This will take some work. I'll be back whenever.
I actually do have the article completed and in-the-can.

As Promised--
As promised, I'm going to post my Star Trek satire pretty soon now. This is going to be the PG-13 edition, and I'll post the 'censored' edition on various discussion groups. Possible delay: I wrote it on my Mac in rich text file format, and the formatting of the characters (bold, italics, etc.) doesn't paste through.
This might take some work.

It's All Uphill From Here, Or At Least I Hope So
At this moment, six months have gone by since I last posted.
This has been a horrible year[1]--so much so that I've come to describe it as my Year Of Frakking Heck. Not many direct descriptions of/ references to the Year Of Frakking Heck qua Year Of Frakking Heck have made it onto this blog; very few hints of the awfulness of this dismal, um, ( Read more... )
