Solvjaynghi (Continued)

Over the weekend, I made some progress on “Solvjaynghi’s Christmas Wish”, but perhaps more than I’d like… I finished the redraft, and all the parts are basically in the right places, but the story is now close to 8000 words, which is roughly how long it was when I first drafted the unwieldy epistolary version [...]

Writing Update

I’m back in the saddle of writing, though having to pace myself — class preparation needs time, and I’m trying not to shove it aside completely just because I’m on a roll… though I may finish my (re)draft of Solvjangyi’s Christmas Wish tonight, perhaps. (We’ll see if the roll holds out that long.)

Me! Me! Me! (Meme!)

Ritu posted a meme where she answered five questions, and then invited others to ask her for five questions for them to answer. I asked for questions, and here they are:

The last week or so, I’ve been fine-tuning my current installation of Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) on my new HP dv2024, which seems to be basically the same as any other HP dv2000. This is an overview of what I’ve gotten working, and how, and what I have left to test.
Because I use Windows [...]

Crazy Video

Okay, the Linux posting is a little delayed, but look at this goofy stuff!

Julia got it from Adam. Like both of them, I am amused by the juxtaposition of uptight white 19th century musicals form and style (and visuals) with modern macho rap culture. Quite amusing, and I’m sure ‘d pay a decent sum of [...]
