2008 is just about finished for me ( Read more... )

Some quick hits on what's going on right now:

• My computer is still down. I physically have possession of the computer, presumably with a new, fixed hard drive, but I'm waiting on receiving the recovery disk from the manufacturer. Stupid slow UPS Ground.
• The Cornell men's ice hockey team had a somewhat strong showing the last two days as the Big Red ( Read more... )

My NaBloPoMo efforts for this year have gone into the crapper. The whole thing was initially lost around Election Day and the excitement contained therein. The days since then, though, have also been busy, mostly with work but also with a few (relatively uneventful) social excursions around the same time. I thought maybe I could cheat and write ( Read more... )

Today, after I had left work but before I got all the way home, I realized that I had left my cell phone at work. I turned around and returned to my workplace to retrieve the phone. While there, a courier arrived, having brought a huge shipment sent by the Big Name Client for the Huge Project. Of course, as far as I know, we were never told that ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I did very little. And it was awesome. I read some comics and watched some downloaded TV. I also uploaded Halloween pictures to Facebook, which were taken both last week and on Friday. That inspired me to start trying to go through my pictures from all of 2008 and upload them to Flickr. I'm terribly behind in doing that, save for ( Read more... )

I tried to do the NaBloPoMo thing last year, but it was somewhat derailed by my car accident last Thanksgiving ( Read more... )

While reading someone else's LiveJournal posting and the comments therein (which some of you may or may not have read as well), I asked myself a question which I want to get all of your input on ( Read more... )

Do I want to participate in NaBloPoMo again? I don't know. I tried to do so last year, which was unfortunately ruined near the month's end by my car accident. For a few reasons, I kinda hope this November will be interesting (and not in the faux Chinese curse sort of way to justify daily blog posting. I think it just might be, between the ( Read more... )

I haven't posted to LiveJournal in a while. I've been meaning to rectify that. But I feel that overall, there isn't a whole lot of big things going on in my life, at least nothing that I feel comfortable talking about publicly at the moment. So, in the meantime, here are a few brief bits:

• This coming weekend is USS Accord's Watkins Glen Weekend. ( Read more... )
