a bit of this, a dash of that
Not too much to write about in detail today. I got a lot of things done, but most of them were in the nature of items on a task list, rather than anything particularly interesting.
(Yes, I have a task list. Doesn't everybody?)
They included things like the following:
Right now I'm testing out the Deepest Sender Firefox add-on, which I heard about by way of daniidebrabant. So far I like it, except for the small quirk in which clicking the "insert LJ user" button tries to use a span tag instead of the LJ-formatted HTML. Oops. I do like the idea of having a browser window open for post editing that isn't affected by switching LJ logins, but so far I'm not convinced. I may stick with my non-browser client program for that sort of thing. Speaking of which, I use Xjournal with the Mac and Semagic with the PC -- anyone have a different recommendation?
It seems as though there should be more to talk about, but my brain feels as though it's melting out my ears. I'm working in the upstairs study, you see, and it's really, really hot. I do have air conditioning, but the temperature sensor is downstairs, and it's taking me a while to figure out the best balance! Ah well. At least I have it to begin with, right?
Anyway, on that note, I think I'm going to end this post and go downstairs where it's cooler. Night, all!

They included things like the following:
- registering for independent study/dissertation credit hours over at the university (and as a side note, the dean of students is awesome, because she offered to take my signed form down to the registrar's herself so I wouldn't have to make an extra trip to campus);
- completing two personnel evaluations at work;
- getting the first-draft outline of a new paper well under way;
- replacing the power supply in the long-broken PC and getting it up and running again;
- installing a new telephone to replace the two broken ones;
- finalizing paperwork for the grants and contracts department regarding a recently-submitted proposal;
- returning DVDs and mailing bills;
- mowing the lawn before it turned into a jungle and swallowed the house;
- finally moving an overstuffed armchair from the living room upstairs to the library, with the able assistance of agonistes -- thanks so much!
