Holy moly, the spam count has risen lately. I have a shneaking suspicion that it has to do with integrating my blog with Facef^ck and Twitter. ‘Sall right, Akismet sorts it out beautifully. The really sad part is that there haven’t been any funny random-phrase posts. They can be so much fun! Lines like “I…
Yes, again. I paid for a good night’s sleep and all I got was a 2-hour nap. This is worse than usual; four hours is more typical. All you normals out there, please don’t bombard me with suggestions for how to overcome insomnia. NONE OF IT IS RELEVANT. Most of it is old wives’ tales,…
Boil up a bunch of russet potatoes with the skin on, enough water to cover.. Don’t bother to wash them, the dirt will boil off and sink to the bottom. Take spuds out to cool. Save the water for soup (settle and pour off) or use it to water plants after it cools. Mix dressing…
I’ve been using Microsoft Security Essentials for a couple of weeks. It has not buggered up my resources (mind you, SilentBob has 4GB RAM and a decent processor) nor destroyed anything essential (unlike McAfee). I can heartily reccommend it for normal lusers users.

No TV, no money, no car. However, I do have a computer, so once in a while I do get hold of something. Lately it’s been happening more…
I just ran into this: Poll : does anyone use Microsoft Word’s outline view simultaneously with another view ? on a Twitter side-trail. It made me think for a few seconds, always a good thing to do, gets a little circulation to the gray cells. It appears to me that most MS Word users don’t…
I sent the following as e-mail to committee members: If you, or a loved one, suffered needlessly because a simple remedy was just out of reach beyond an iron wall of law, what would you do? Among the most specious arguments against the use of medical cannabis is that there has not been enough research….
I suffer the consequences when I overdo. It doesn’t take much to put me down, and it takes a lot of time to get me back up. So I have to find entertainment to at least keep me sitting down while I pull what health I can together. Since I haven’t had DSL very long,…
