I have Windows Live Writer sitting around doing nothing. So finally I decide to see if it’s good for anything. Turns out maybe it is. Anyhoo, that’s insomnia for ya. Oh – drat – of course the bloody thing wants to check my spelling. Worse than that – the only browser it knows is Idiot…
I was once a fan of Jean Auel’s Earth’s Children(TM) series. I loved Clan of the Cave Bear. It was the best cave-people novel I had ever read (unfortunately, that’s not saying too much; the competition back then was sickly). I loved parts of Valley of Horses. Parts of it were…let’s just say, not what…
I need a new list in Twitter: People who don’t tweet. They make me nervous when they follow me. I suspect them of having suspicious motives. Well, some people on Twitter do have very suspicious motives. A few of them are stupid, evil slimeballs. It’s harder to figure out the 0-tweeters, and they make me…
I don’t blog often, but at least when I do it’s my own content. Unfortunately, there are a shitload of “bloggers” whose only aim is to get as much traffic as possible, by any means possible. I assume that they are doing this for the sake of some sleazy advertising on their sorry moshblogs that…
Still out of luck with excluding stuff. My best option for now is to turn off the tweet digest — I don’t really need it anyway. Meanwhile, spam goes on. Most of it wouldn’t fool a month-old puppy, but who wouldn’t like to be flattered all to heck with: Wow, incredible blog layout! How long…
Some writers are aghast at the notion of going back for revisions before a work is finished. Fine for them, but I don’t write in a straight line. I can’t. Writing, for me, is three-dimensional, fractal. There is a lot more to a tree than foliage. Growth takes place everywhere. Roots dig deeper and deeper…
Nice, I have a plug-in that collects my tweets. But I don’t want my blog cluttered with stale tweets — that archive is only for my own reference — so I install a plug-in that keeps that category out of sight. Then a WP upgrade breaks something, and the twitflood pours out. Owoo. I try…
One after another in one big fuster-cluck until one of my plug-ins goes postal and the tweets take over. ZOMG what fun. All I really want right now is lunch 🙁
(originally a forum post) IMO all how-to books should be taken with a grain of salt, 2lbs of meat, a couple of onions, carrots, potatoes, maybe a parsnip and/or turnip, some tomatoes, a dash of pepper, and any optional seasonings you see fit to add. At least that way you get a good stew that…
