I swear, there’s something very Brownian going on in my head.

I just can’t focus on a damned thing, thanks to all manner of random activity in my brain today. Hopefully I can alleviate this by dumping core here.

I am semi-secretly stoked that geekslut has returned to blogging.

Wikipedia’s completed its upgrade to v1.5, thank God. Now I can breathe easily and go back to my usual pasttime of wielding the Fiery +5 Sword of Revert. (can’t come up with a decent wiki-thac0 joke here, sorry.)

Fred and I just finished moving in together. Now, we edit our stuff. Drama may ensue.

Been slacking in the gym… aside from moving (hello! June in St. Louis!), work drama, and a nasty bug I caught (102° fever), I haven’t had the time or energy. Doesn’t help that the new trainer’s TOUGH, either, though that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

WTF! is there no Radiohead on US iTunes?

The last of the Beethoven symphonies are up; get ‘em while you can. Haven’t yet listened to the BBC Orchestra’s #9, but if it’s anywhere near as good as their #6 then people will be in. tears. during the final movement.

Why does the ad-block in GMail show recipes for everybody’s favorite tinned meat product when one looks in one’s Spam folder? Did Hormel pay Google off or something?

Sorry, but if you’re asking about purchasing any of my bodily fluids, the answer is no.

Working on the home network. Very cool thing about the new place: CAT5e, POTS, and coax jacks in every room, all home-run to the utility closet, and POTS and coax very easy to disconnect from service providers. Facepalm moment for rehabbers: no electrical outlet in said utility closet, so I have to run an extension cord under the door from the hallway and put a table or something there so that the cord doesn’t get disturbed.

At work, been cracking down on unattended logins lately, and I have to admit that it’s a lot more fun that usual. This time around I have the full and very vocal support of the CFO, so people are actually listening, and I can actually disconnect problem users (cue evil cackle).

Also been tinkering with a few programs: Samba at home, GAIM at work. Samba is going to be the file storage-slash-print serving-slash-authentication system at home; GAIM will eventually be the office IM client (running on a Jabber server), but has a few tweaks to be made before it can go “live”. (BTW, if you see me online on a messenger client during the day, then this is why. Say “hi” if you like, but it may take me a few minutes to respond since I’m technically supposed to be working, y’know, while I’m at work.)

Put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher, please; it makes the whole prevention-of-rotting-food-in-the-sink thing so much easier.

Eager to start cooking again after the move-enforced hiatus; the thyme, marjoram, rosemary, and basil on the spice rack are calling unto me.

I swear, if one more person suggests I go tanning, I will club them with a bottle of aftersun lotion.

Will somebody please explain to me the appeal of all this white-girl-missing news?

Best smackdown I’ve seen lately: when Rove et al. were whining about how Sen. Durbin compared Gitmo to the Soviet gulags, somebody (can’t remember who, sorry) looked in Solzhenitsyn and substantiated Durbin’s comparisons easily.

good Lord, do I really have that many edits on en:?

Damn, I need to get back into Diablo II. There’s just something very cathartic about wailing on demons and the undead.

Yay Spain! Suddenly I know where we can retire.

It’s the end of the second quarter already. Day. um.

I did warn you that these’d be random, right?

Windows users: go update.

To the person who found this here blog by searching for the word “fornicate”: I love you. To the person who found this here blog by searching for the phrase “small red bumps near triceps”: Ingrown hairs, acne, insect bites, impetigo, or some rare and exotic and messily fatal disease; go see a doctor to find out which.

I love the word “messily”.

Been listening to the iPod at work; the network admin now laughs when I follow up Mozart with Radiohead with Värttinä with the mashedup “Superlangalang” (M.I.A. “Galang” meets the Super Mario Bros. theme).

Fluxblog has me hooked on a couple Swedish groups: The Similou and Lo-Fi-FNK. Goooood shit.

More people read this blog on Fridays than any other day of the week. More people read in the 9:00 hour (Pacific Time!) than any other hour of the day. More people read this blog during the week of April 17 2005 than any other week.

I think that’s about it for now. Thanks for helping me cope with my randomheadedness.
