'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Does TheraFlu work for you Tom? It's the only thing I've found that really cuts down the cold/flu symptoms for me.
I am weirdly famished today. Had 2 slices of toast around 6 a.m., a banana and coffee when I got to work, and I'm starving for lunch a little after 11.
For over the counter cough meds, I've found that Delsym works better than anything else, fwiw. I hope you feel better soon, Tom.

You don't have a chestburster living in you, do you?
Wow. I've had some lame tech support, but "Jon" was bucking for a prize. He got disconnected in the middle of me asking him if he *really* meant the software was only compatible with OS X Lion, and the new support guy is not only speaking to me specifically, instead of in vague macro-ish terms, but he's contradicting everything the first guy said.

Happy birthday Noah and Grace! Those kids are so terrific, Kat.
And Allyson, I'm with everyone in advising that you just get out of there, regardless of your mother's tears. Go sped the rest of your visit seeing people who make you feel good about yourself.
I'm coughing too, Tom. So frigging tired of being sick, just want to lay low today.
Huh, io9 has added Google accounts to their commenting. I guess I could deal with using that authentication instead of Facebook.
I have to take back all the positive thoughts I was having about the second technical support guy. I know I'm annoying, but all I'm doing is cutting and pasting back their words at them and saying "Do you mean to contradict this completely?"
He told me to call support instead, and I told him, no, I like it here where I have a printed record of what you just said.

The big deal is that the gawker network is making it mandatory for you to use FB, Gmail, or Twitter as an authentication method. They're removing the option you had previously of not tying it to anything. Now you have to use a third party to get in, and be linked to another profile somewhere.
It's not popular with the IO9 posters at least. I have a blank twitter account I'd created to match my IO9 login a long time ago, so I'm just using that, but I have no fucking idea why they want access to my tweets or who I'm following. Fuck them. Also, I'm not tweeting or following anyone, so it won't get them anything.
