| Aug. 24th, 2009 @ 07:30 pm Six things about me, of which you neither knew nor cared |
This is a meme making the rounds that looked like fun.
1) I hate wearing ruffled, flowered, and beribboned clothing. If I must dress up, I prefer something tailored-looking.
2) My nose is pierced.
3) I can recite the fifty United States in alphabetical order
4) My hair is now down to my knees.
5) Artificial strawberry scent makes me sneeze
6) I watch anime other than Big O. Swear to God! ;) |

Ben had mopped the floor and was going to empty out the bucket and something flew in and was immediately surrounded by interested cats. We thought it might be a small bird who was confused or even a bat, but it wasn't. It was a MOTH.
Happily, he was able to rescue it immediately before damage was done and I took some pictures!
It is apparently a Polyphemus moth
That wingspan was a mininum of six inches and closer to seven. Amazing! |

If you haven't already been corralled, I need victims... err... beta testers.
Please note: You don't have to like Mah Jongg or even know how to play. What I need is some simple tests, such as "Can you shut off/change the music", "Do the open tiles get a highlight when you click them?", "If you click two open and matching tiles, do they disappear?", "Do you see anything strange? (not being fond of the anime doesn't count)"
Just answer this post with which browser and version--I think I've got the last few bugs out.

If you've been following "Beck Strikes Back" at fanfiction.net, there's a new chapter up.
That is all. |

While Civilization III was beautiful, I found certain aspects of the gameplay lacking.
Civ IV, which I have thanks to a certain madman across the pond, looks a lot better already. :) |

| Jan. 20th, 2009 @ 06:38 pm Bad Calamity! No cheezburger! |
So I was working online...
Suddenly my dsl died. This does happen on rare occasion.
I sighed and cycled off the modem and waited.
Turned it back on. The "ready" light was going blinky-blinky.
Cycled it off again. Unplugged it. Unplugged the network cable just to make it easier to deal with. Waited a minute. Checked the wall and modem phone line connection, both secure. Plugged the power cable back in. Blinky-blinky.
Sighed again. Called Verizon repair and endured the automated system with the useful suggestions to go online to get help. Waited.
Amazing 1: The wait was only about two minutes.
Amazing 2: The call center person, though clearly at a call center in India, spoke good English.
Amazing 3: Did not ask me to repeat cycling modem. Quickly asked about a few common causes and believed my answers.
Amazing 4: When line tests came back good and all seemed in order, asked just for heck of it if I had another phone cord just to check.
Amazing 5: I had just cleaned out my cable storage boxes a few weeks ago and could lay hands on a new telephone cable in < 1 minute
Amazing 6:
Amazing 7: Hung up from a Verizon Tech Support call in a pleasant mood.
I think it's time to get a new bottle of Bitter Apple spray, that would have been the end of Calamity and straight into Catastrophe if that had been an electrical cord. |

RIP Ricardo Montalban
He was 88 years old, so it's not as though he didn't have a full, long life, but I for one will miss him--he was really an amazing person, a gentleman in the old-fashioned sense of the word, and did much, much more than Fantasy Island. |

I've been following xkcd for a while, and have come to the conclusion that it's the Far Side for Gen X'ers...
