  * 10pm bath, bed

A good day yesterday, though I did end up feeling a little down and maybe put-upon to find that I had to pick up a take-out dinner, and then take Colleen and the YD out shopping (after Colleen had said she intended to do it during the day). Nobody's fault; Marty, who would normally done the driving, is down with an injury.

I got very sleepy way too early in the evening, took a bath at 10pm and went directly to bed. And it was raining at lunchtime, so no walkies.

But other than that, it was a good day. A full-arch rainbow on the way to work in the morning, and some good conversation and a little music in the evening. And Google Chrome can print on Linux now, removing the main obstacle to making it my day-to-day browser. It doesn't do flash, either, but I can always fire up Iceweasel if I have to.

Today's links were largely Chrome-plated. Here we have Everything You Need To Know About Chrome OS Editorial: Chrome OS is what I want, but not what I need Google Chrome OS available as free VMWare download and What Google Needs for the Chrome OS To Succeed.

Rainbows always make me feel happy and content. They're so pretty!
(Yes, I was a rainbow, winged unicorn, fairy and butterfly loving little girl growing up, why?)

I don't mind being someone's user-generated content, because I'm not writing to make myself better known to the general bog of the blogosphere, but to my friends. That's why I'm on a *social* network.

Hey! we're socializing! ;^) Does it count when we're so far apart?

LJ counts as a blog, in my opinion, though the distinction is a bit more clear-cut if you're a paid member and so don't have advertising on your journal.

Yes, "social networks" count as socializing; most of what people do on computers is communication. In many ways socializing online is easier for me, though it isn't as satisfying.
