And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

I'm going to be taking over a Linked In ... profile? it's one that someone else started that uses a lot of material from my employer, but the guy who started it couldn't keep up and is handing it over to us ... meaning ME. I've had nothing to do with this site - anyone have any advice, comments, pertinent information, snarky comments? Anything's welcome.

With eInk, you can't have a book like this.

Ha! It's like a pop-up book for the digital age. Fun.

I use LinkedIn, but I'm not sure I have any advice or comments. Except that it keeps telling me I'm only 80% complete because I haven't filled up enough boxes.

Does anyone have wallpaper changing programs they like? I got some sort of weird Trojan last night that killed WallMaster, which I have used for years. I installed the latest version, but when I restarted my computer, the executable was missing, as if AVG now thinks it's a virus all the time or something. I deleted the Trojan from the Virus Vault, so I hope it will stay away, but I'm not sure I can use WallMaster anymore, which is sad. I like having my wallpaper change every 30 minutes!

The status is NOT quo.

I am posting here because I am proud of myself for ordering, installing, and registering a shiny new cable modem with ND out of the country. Our internet is scary fast now!

I know this is not a major technological accomplishment, but I'm still pretty darned proud. Does anyone need a gently used Motorola SB5101 Surfboard cable modem? It works great; it just wasn't new enough for the scary fast signal ND pays extra for for his business. (Or did you have plans for the old one, Drew?)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I might need it. Looks like my new apt is a choice between DSL or cable. Cable is faster.

It's all yours, Omnis. I will set it aside.

Coding and Sleeping

I hate eclipse, for the third straight day it's locking up on start. Time to blow away my settings, again. The integration with Perforce source control sucks, the built-in differ sucks, it does weird shit when it's maximized. I've been spoiled by Intellij's IDE.

Eclipse has lovely support for plugging things in, but IntelliJ is such a well put-together package that I am clinging to it even though my employer would like us all to jump to Eclipse. They're also trying to take Perforce away from us, which is the saddest thing ever to make me sad.
