Thankful Thursday

Today I am grateful for...

• A helpful housemate. Thanks, S!
• A wonderful housekeeper/groundskeeper and her minion. Thanks, L' and A'!
• My wonderful sister N, with her ability to function as household manager and her ability to be firm with people when necessary. (This is an ability I am extremely lacking in.)
• The fact that I am something of a packrat, and so have empty moving boxes sitting around.
• Worm-gear pipe clamps strong enough to hold up an office chair with a broken lift mechanism.
• Gin.
• The cats. We have excellent cats.
• My wife Colleen (AKA the Cheshire Cat), who I love dearly even though neither of us is particularly fond of her body at the moment.
• Nitrile gloves.

PSA: LJ crossposts failing

Recently, crossposts to Livejournal have been failing -- not every time, but often enough to be a problem. The most recent failures were

1. mdlbear | Thankful Thursday

If this fails to crosspost I'll paste it in by hand, but I'm not (currently) equipped to do that on a regular basis. I may never bother: it's not particularly complicated, but it's messy. In any case, it will have to wait until I have a command-line client that can PUT as well as POST, because I'm not about to do it by hand.
