- Grrr… Network config on my main GPF laptop is munged. DHCP gives it a valid IP but can't reach beyond localhost. Stumped on fixing it. >:( #
- No, me, don't follow that link to Star Trek's Memory Alpha! You KNOW it's a bottomless pit of time sink you can't escape! Don't you… dang. #
- Since when did Microsoft start pushing Skype updates through Windows Update? I guess it's not unexpected, but still… I didn't expect it. #
- I have found that I start far too many sentences with "that said". That said, it's usually in the appropriate context. #

- Not quite NaNoWriYear: This year's GPF script doc is already past 30k words & might top the previous two (32k & 33k respectively). #
- From spam-fighting tool options: "Only paranoids and delusional users disable javascript." Only gullible folks rely on JavaScript for safety #

- Taking the boy to his first baseball game today. (That's the one where they put the puck through the hoop to score a touchdown, right?) #
- Ball game over. Our team won with a sudden death free throw into the end zone for a spare. The boy had a blast. Never did see that zamboni. #
- Congrats to JPL on the successful Curiosity landing. Wish I could have watched live, but some folks on the US East Coast have to work. 😛 #
- One of the few TV opening credits I'll never fast forward through is Star Trek: DS9. I may not always watch it, but I'll ALWAYS listen. #
- Rest in pieces, SCO. Good riddance. http://t.co/gsPoauqz #

- #Olympics shmalympics. I'm watching for humanity's next REAL great achievement: Curiosity rover is landing on Mars this weekend (we hope). #
- Today has definitely been a "not good" day. A very, very "not good" day. 🙁 #
- Re the "not good" post: Nothing horrible or really worth complaining about to the world. Just feeling miserable at failing all day today. 🙁 #
