Happy Birthday Tom! I hope something as nice as a Scola Smile happens to you today.
Count me in among the exhausted. I figured out too late last night that I should have taken an Ambien, so sleep was rather non-existent.
I actually made a Google calender appointment for tonight to take one. I hope that works.
Thanks, Hec.
My biggest problem today is I am completely drained, yet I need to get started on housework and grading, and the sooner the better. But I think I'll take a bath first.
That sounds like a great event, Burrell! Take a little time to recover, why not?
I need the time to recover, I just forgot to build any free time into my schedule.
I'm glad things went well, Burrell.
Happy birthday, Tom!
I'm working at home today. Which is good--the weather's lovely, if chilly, so I was able to take the cat for a walk at lunch and I'll be working from the sofa this afternoon. Things have been super busy, so it's nice to have a low key day. Or at least one where I can swear at the monitor out loud.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone!!!
Have people been following this? Notorious porno copyright trolls Prenda Law have a very bad day in court - Boing Boing
What they would do is accuse someone of illegally downloading porno (that was protected by copyright) and force them to settle to avoid an expensive and embarrassing lawsuit. But apparently it's just a bunch of lawyers working for themselves (via a fake client).
From the article referenced in the link:
"the responsible lawyers for a law firm conducting litigation before a court have refused to explain that litigation to the court on the grounds that doing so could expose them to criminal prosecution."
IANAL, but this is very unusual, no?
