* up 6:30; W=196.4; drugs, nose, teeth, coffee, dishes, light
: Natty comes back impressively fast from suspend, and the screensaver
doesn't lock the screen. Cool! (but probably because it's broken)
@ Shannon's Law: a story about bridging Faerie and the mundane world
with TCP-over-magic - Boing Boing
" The Net's secret weapon is that it doesn't care what kind of medium it
runs over. It wants to send a packet from A to B, and if parts of the
route travel by pigeon, flashing mirrors, or scraps of paper cranked
over an alleyway on a clothesline, that's okay with the Net. All that
stuff is slower than firing a laser down a piece of fiber-optic, but it
gets the job done. "
@ naamah_darling: Kinky, Dominant and . . . Shy? not my kink, but I
can relate strongly to the shyness.
@ VST Plug-ins - Audacity Wiki
* mail Mom's copy of Hearts
& about an hour in Fry's; not aerobic, but a lot cooler. Didn't find
anything really useful, but noted that AT+T has cheap android phones.
* buy: 2 bunches broccoli (on the way home) and a doorknob set
@ The Wordsmith's Forge - Poem: "Threads of Magic"
-> Quilt Codes
@ YouTube - Abortion in the United States via catsittingstill
& nice drive: all the way down into Morgan Hill (50 mi RT)
! calm, contented. Good talk, too.
Hmm. Not a very productive day overall, and somewhat stressful at work, but not too bad. My "walk" consisted mostly of a ramble through Fry's, which wasn't much in the way of exercise but at least was air-conditioned -- it got up into the 90s. I did get Mom's copy of Hearts of Glass, ... mailed, hopefully to arrive before Mother's Day.
It seems unlikely that the Clueless Coworker will get his task done today, so I'm likely to end up with the rest of it dumped in my lap. That's what I get for designing something subtle, I suppose.
The drive after dinner was very nice; most of our conversation revolved around how comfortable the house feels now that the UBF is no longer in it. The YD has been uncharacteristically cheerful; we wonder whether that means she feels it too. That would be delightful.
Although I'm intrigued by the idea of TCP-over-magic, the title of best link for the day is split between ysabetwordsmith's poem "Threads of Magic", with its reference to quilt codes on the Underground Railway, and a great video on Abortion in the United States via catsittingstill, which inevitably reminds me of her song "Underground Rail".
