Successes and Failures

2/28/2006 – 1:07 pm

Well, the upgrade is over and it looks like I’m successfully cross-posting at both the blog on my website and my LiveJournal site with no extra work. Cross-posting at the Blogger account looks a bit trickier. Solving my cross-dressing problem is another matter entirely…
The plugins for moods and music never panned out but [...]

Painful Upgrade

2/27/2006 – 1:54 pm

Just kidding on the title, by the way.  That just happens to be the name of the cover art for the March F&SF so I thought I’d use it.  Hee-hee.
I just upgraded (pretty painlessly) to the latest and greatest version of WordPress.  The only thing that doesn’t seem to be working are my category icons, [...]

Via PT:

You Passed 8th Grade Math

Congratulations, you got 10/10 correct!

Could You Pass 8th Grade Math?
PT also mentioned that he recently took the GMAT. In continuation of that full disclosure, I recently took the GRE which purports to be 8th grade-level as well. I didn’t get a 10 out of 10 there, though.

Things took [...]

Sunday Blahs

2/26/2006 – 8:05 pm

Yesterday, I finished reading the March F&SF by reading Albert E Cowdrey’s “The Revivalist” and wow, what a great story. 18,ooo words short, I read the entire thing (while laughing out loud a half-dozen times) in a single sitting. Terrific stuff.

I spent a good deal of time today rewriting a story entitled “Twenty-Pound [...]

Happy Friday For Me

2/24/2006 – 2:37 pm

:grin:
You know, selling a story is great but I think it’s even better when people like it. Another review, this time from David Roy on Epinions:

“The boy senses somebody out to hurt them “in the tree” outside their room and Hergenrader reveals everything slowly, ratcheting the tension. As things reach a crescendo at the [...]

Bad Acting and Worse Poetry

2/24/2006 – 10:25 am

/
The always excellent Phil Ball on Barca-Chelski and Madrid-Ars*nal.
I agree with everything he says except about the sending off of Asier Del Horno for Chelski. He says it’s a clear sending off but Messi went looking for the foul, launching himself in the air well before Del Horno made contact. A yellow card, [...]

And Coming In Second Place In Our Hearts

2/21/2006 – 1:52 pm

The birthdays coming fast and furious now at the end of February. Happy birthday to my brothers Todd and Troy, who turn a massive 35 years old today. Normally they’re not this grim.
