Eep! I've been neglecting my Vox account! Let's fix that some. This week I helped a friend investigate various programs for generating thumbnail galleries for the pictures portion of her website. There's a lot of free options out there, but most ...

I like it when I get to mark a passage from a less desirable state to a better one with something fairly concrete. Tonight I got it for this heat wave: tonight was the night when the fans all got turned off. Now, they didn't all stay off. In par...

Melting, Melting, What a World, What a World

Hollow Earth Expedition was my first completed writing of this year; I'm in it for a chapter and change. Working on it was one of the most altogether satisfactory experiences of my writing career, and getting paid this week only put the extra swir...

Getting Cat Scanned

2006-07-12T15:00:53Z

Lately I've been doing a lot of histamine flushing and such - the cooler weather and the reduction in my level of incoming new stress add up to let my body catch up on its backlog of removing things that I don't want to be carrying around. Very w...

Showers From Unexpected Angles

2006-07-09T05:46:04Z
