  * imported LJ (everything but profile and friends) into DW

Not a whole lot to report -- a day of catching up at work after last week's hard push. (Some other people on the team still had some heaving lifting to do, but there wasn't much I could do directly to help.)

The state tax form had to be re-sent, because the AGI's didn't match. Weird, but it's possible that I sent it on paper. Which I can't find a copy of, now. Live and learn. I need to remember to buy the version that comes with a free state download, next year.

A nice IM conversation with N., after discovering that Skype video wasn't working properly for us :-(. I noted that I was somewhat surprised to find that I'm still not fully recovered from the stress of the last couple of weeks. Maybe it shouldn't be all that surprising.

Oh, and I imported my LJ into Dreamwidth. More on that later -- no, I'm not abandoning LJ, I have a permanent account. But there are features about DW I like a lot, and with importing and automatic crossposting I can have them both.

The coolest thing out in linkspace was APOD: 2011 April 18 - Visual Effects: Wonders of the Universe. Very cool video. Wish I could get hold of the series on DVD, but it seems to be available only in the UK at the moment. And of course it would be region-locked.
