Life and Laptops

AIM sucks. Whenever I log in from home I get kicked off from time to time, presumably because the work account logs itself on randomly. This is probably iChat’s fault but I just can’t bear to use Adium.
I always used to like using the laptop in the dark, but with the illuminating keyboard, it’s really excellent. It’s like reading under the covers with a flashlight. A guilty pleasure.
Never trust anyone who says it’s better to let cats come and go inside and out. What they’re trying to do is trap you in a life of subservients to the felines, opening and closing the door at their every whim. Cats should be indoor or outdoor, not both.
I won’t put OmniOutliner in my dock anymore. The icon is simply too ugly. I’m halfway thinking about trying all those different stupid outliners like Circus Ponies Notebook because I hate the OmniOutliner icon so much. I even commented about it on The Unofficial Apple Weblog.
In an act of self-aggrandizement, I learned last week that apparently this guy Bozdune really liked my comment on Slashdot about SGI from last fall. It really made my day to see someone liked my comment, and to find out a year later made it even nicer. Of course nobody has yet noticed my reply to this pro-abortion atheist schmuck. I’ll come back in a year and check. I’m sure the Bryghts have dispatched one of their liberal dittoheads to quell the rebel.
The fast went well yesterday. It’s much easier to perform a day-long fast if you’re in the Synagogue praying rather than, say, at work with your face-feeding fellow workers or watching an endless stream of crispy chicken commercials at home. I napped during the break, which took care of that pesky time during which I would have been tempted to eat.
Oh, and a few weeks ago, I made prickly pear jelly. It actually wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be. My folk’s neighbor Lois showed me how with one batch, and then I made a triple batch a few weeks later with a little help from the folks.
There. I think it’s a blog again.
