in which I write about stuff
I’m getting ready to download & backup everything, so I probably won’t be posting for a day or two, and I may turn off commenting, too. Thanks, Elaine, for the script suggestion. It’s working great! comments should be off as of tonight.
I just clicked on “clear selected” while the “select all” box was checked in my feed reader. I need to rewrite it so it’s not so freaking easy to do that anymore. but what I really need is to finish writing the damn program….
so I’ve finally gotten hosting space elsewhere, but it may take me a bit to switch over…expect a hiccup somewhere in the next week or so. oh, and on that note: I’m having trouble getting to cpanel & phpmyadmin. anybody know any tricks for backing up databases w/out having that access?

those guys who are all into the intelligent design thing, you know, that we’re too complex and operate too well for it to have been anything other than something magical? they have obviously never had a UTI.
people who write web or fax in all caps, as if it were an acronym.
I don’t *really* want to talk about it, because it was part of an overall lousy day, but I do want to have some record of the downspiral of a game, and to rescue some sort of positive lesson (there are a couple) from the experience. on the other hand, it makes me unreasonably sad [...]
no special plans: just making and then eating food.
