Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

HP Mini 2140 Notebook is tiny, aluminum, gorgeous and cheap

Here's a tiny 2.6-pounder that's almost small enough to be called a netbook. The HP Mini 2140 Notebook PC's 10.1-inch screen is LED backlit, and with its optional 80-gig solid-state drive and small, low-power Intel Atom processor, it's packing all the right tech.

Its keyboard isn't too small, either, it's 92 percent the size of a full size keyboard. And hey, it's made of aluminum, making it super-chic. Surprisingly, at the same time, it's super-cheap, with pricing starting at $499. Available late January.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

this is important enough to put in Beep Me, IMO. I'll go over there and post.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It looks like MacRumor's keynote coverage has been hacked: [link]

Douchebags.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is easily the most boring keynote in recent memory.

Wake me when something happens.

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

Should we start porting over to vox.com?

edit to fix .com not .org

The sources I'm reading say that the total number of layoffs was closer to 12 than 28, that LJ isn't going anywhere, and that Valleywag is just being their usual sensationalistic self.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Agreed with Jess about LJ -- it's nasty bubble-burst tech layoff time, but not OMG they'll be gone tomorrow time. Also, is Valleywag ever right?

ION, is Apple confusing GarageBand with Rock Band?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

It was a good reminder that I needed to back up the past year or so of lj entries, but I should be doing that regardless. You never know when a server farm will get taken out by a natural disaster of some sort. (And yes, I know that losing my comments on 4th season SGA episodes would rank pretty low in the tragedy scale in case of big disasters. But at least this is something I can prepare for.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

How does one back up LJ entries? And what happens to del.i.cous bookmarks if LJ goes blooey? Does one have to copy all that text and archive it by hand?
