Today and tomorrow comprise my long weekend at the clinic. I am charged with tending to the animals boarding over the weekend. When I was still living in Chapel Hill this was no serious imposition on my time, for the clinic was only a ten minute drive away; I simply did things in town. Now [...]
The G1 has been quite the springboard for me. I now have a screenable, universal point of contact that also serves as a mostly-fledged personal computer and PDA, complete with internet access wherever I am. This is what I have been looking for since I was in college for my second stint. The hardware has [...]
It’s my birthday. So never mind that I’m still up only by the questionable virtues of caffeine; it’s time to break the long silence, even if this ends up being trite. I predicted as late spring was taking shape that this summer would be a giant ball of chaotic energy, and I am very sorry [...]
Well, since that’s what the majority of these posts have been so far, I may as well be honest. (It’s a blog, right?) I have read that “exhaustion and sleep are the enemies of study,” and this is certainly true also for writing. I can’t write when I’m constantly trying to regain my brain’s operational [...]
So I have this problem, and I know I’m not alone. It’s called distractibility. The technical term is ADHD, but I’m not disordered as much as I think it’s best divided into two parts for me–there’s the day-to-day stuff, which is easy to get a handle on with meds, and then there’s the larger, overarching [...]

Those who walk this road follow a ridge between two valleys, each with its own verdant fields and riches. A mage might study in his tower and a fighter [...]
You know what? Fark ‘em. Fark the people who refuse to engage. Fark the people who hide behind coy evasions and third-party missives. I’m done chasing coat-tails and enduring pointed silences. I have too much to do to be caught up in petty games, playing the patient soul while you hide behind fear [...]
More wiki-hacking today. I’m getting near to a point where I can say that the structure is self-explanatory, but several steps lie between here and there. First, I need to get the free linking under control. It’s a bad habit I learned while first exploring things, and it must go if I’m ever to keep [...]
Though I seem to be getting worse and worse, it is for good cause. I just finished configuring my wiki (http://wiki.calefaction.org/), which means I can sleep without fear of anonymous jerkwads ruining all my hard work. At least now they need to create an account to do it.
Writing is hard when [...]
Well, a bad way to start. But in my defense, it is spring, and I am not doing nothing. Tonight, fire!
