Pussycats and breakfast cereal

Well, I got up at 7.30 again today, mainly so that I could catch clairaide on IRC, which I did, but I was too tired to be interesting and anyway, then she went to bed. It's interesting, becoming part of an established community. I wasn't really aware of what was happening when I did it with alt.fan.pratchett, but there ya go.

I'm still tired, but that's ok. The cat needed to be fed anyway; he loves it when I wake earlier than I need to. He hates eating wet food that's been out overnight (so why won't he eat it when he asks for it? Hmm?)

I saw a really valid use of Flash today. Not often you see that. Here:
http://www.uk-archangels.com/angelsupport/tribute.swf. It's also a moving tribute to the victims of September 11, if a little too patriotic for my taste, but then, I'm the anti-patriot...

I was really, really hungry when I woke up, and I still waited until almost 10 am to eat. I think I must be mad.

An Honest Woman

Finally, I've made myself an honest woman. I paid for this account. It took effort - in the end, I had to boot NT within VMware and use Exploder - but I did it.

So then I uploaded a bunch of pictures and tried to create a style that had some hope of actually being valid HTML. But it didn't work.

Party, party, party

Last night we had Janice and Emma 'round for dinner, just for fun. Then we realised that it was our anniversary and that today was Emma's birthday, so I decided to do a roast chicken dinner.

( Feeding frenzy... )

Experimenting with a new client

This time, it's LoserJabber for Debian. I like it. I like the way it can tell me what I'm listening to. But it can't group friends, and the website interface seems not to either. Pooey.
