So, I’m using mozilla (pity about galeon’s os specificity), putty, emacs, trillian (which is mysteriously barfing on aim, and is fully up to date), gayboi (actual program name, I swear), winscp, and gimp.

I really freaking need to just get freebsd working and forget about this operating system. If only I could get it to acknowledge the existence of my wireless card. I think I need to actually set aside some time to play with it until it’s happy.

sparing you the inanity

Since Tom was in town, I’ve been giving lj short shrift. I’ve been busy with volunteering (school, clinic, food-not-bombs), traveling (Arcosanti, for a week, by way of santa monica), working (helped Ro with a presentation he’s giving to the military people funding this little gig on wed), screwing off (mario sunshine, wc3, super monkey ball, lost cities, carcassonne), screwing around (largely by way of gay.com, which I’m swearing off again), researching (intentional community stuff), working out (approx 3x/week, lifty + aerobics), marching in peace demonstrations, reading (Elvenborn, Dragon Weather, What should I do with my Life, graded go exercises, the unschooled mind, and more) and constructing a bike from donated bits and pieces (in progress).

in short, my usual, semi-eventful, but ultimately kinda boring life.

Things I haven’t done include laundry, reading lj, brushing my teeth (well, some, but not enough), and finding more ideal employment.

Dropping gay.com, picking up lj again. May look into other geekwork. Have plans to start doing more academically related research (ie, finishing up my outstanding paper, so that I can get the ‘I’ off my transcript and apply with one less worry) and finish a volunteer thing with a database for the aclu in pittsburgh.

Joy.

It’s amazing what you learn about how a system works by breaking it. For instance, say you’ve neglected your friends list for over two weeks then try to go back to it. LJ doesn’t go back more than two weeks in the friends list. I bet they have these round robin indexes built up on a per-user basis. How fascinating.

What fascinating stuff did I miss from y’all? 😉

Wanting to make deeper connections, but not having the patience or commitment: problem.

So, I’m planning on setting up another yahoo group (because my last one worked sooo well. I have an idea for it that I need to post sometime today) only this one would be about a group for talking about intentional communities. Then I’d do something dorky like advertise it on craigslist. Hmmmm.

Because one can never have too much defense of free speech, or active engagement in its use.
