C'mon and kiss me black.

arkady and I went to the Dev on Friday. We considered food first, but concurred that an immediate *pint* after our respective weeks was sorely called for. Cheers to valkyriekaren, wechsler, vampwillow, shevek and haloj. We stayed until they chucked us out at 12:40am.

redcountess and I went to Motorhead's 30th Anniversary tour last night. It were ace. See review. I got a 30th Anniversary tour shirt. Left my leather gloves behind, though, which was annoying.

Today it is cold (but sunny) and I have a pounding headache. I tried Evolution on my laptop and not only does it suck horribly (if I wanted Outlook I'd run Windows), it crashes if you look at it funny. (Just because I had 15,000 messages in 110 megabytes sitting on thingy.apana.org.au.) I like that the "junk" icon looks like a blue turd. I put Thunderbird 1.0.7 on and this time it actually talked to thingy okay. So that should give me enough tube reading to keep me going.

The Uncyclopedia featured article of the day is Niggers. I didn't write it, but I did copyedit it and make the first two pictures. The logo is a direct lift from the article target. I couldn't believe that fucking logo when I saw it, thirty minutes before creating the one for the article. Amazingly, we've had no death threats and only two vandalisms, and both of those were more sandboxing (people who click the "edit this page" link wondering if they really can).

Entriggering traps for a gross gang of ghost types who later are packed in a cast iron trunk.

Yak shaving is doing something in order to do something in order to do something in order to do something.

Possibly the second-greatest act of yak shaving in history was Don Knuth temporarily stopping work on his magnum opus The Art of Computer Programming in order to write something to do better typesetting for it. Eight years later, he released T_EX. Then he resumed work on the book.

(The greatest, of course, would be Ken and Dennis and that operating system they put together to run their Space War game on.)

1. I want to get last week's B-Movie pics up.
2. So I need to run them through my photo scripts, which save remarkable amounts of faffing about since there's about ninety shots there.
3. The scripts aren't on the install of Breezy on my laptop, so I need to get them off red, my desktop.
4. Which has been switched off for the last two months, waiting for me to install the PCI wifi card.
5. So before switching it on, I should install the card.
6. But first I need to get all the stuff off the top of it, so I can get the top off.
7. But just putting it on the bed means it'll get put somewhere else later, probably back in the same spot. So it needs to be sorted and cleaned up properly.
8. But there's hardly anywhere to put stuff, so we need storage things from the likes of Ikea and Homebase and especially Muji (solutions for people as rich as Americans who nevertheless live in tiny boxes in the sky in Toyko) to release this house's inner Tardis.

The tricky part is to spot where preparedness has turned into procrastination (steps 5 and 7 in the above). And I'm not Don Knuth and neither are you. So I've just switched red back on.
