sporangiaSorry for not getting the friending done sooner. I hope I got it right. Vela3 wants to start an LJ too. I was talking to her about the Chicago Convention, and she still wants to go. I'm pretty sure I can't swing it, also it is taking place what will probably be the first week of fall classes at UF. If we can get four of us together, it starts looking more possible, assuming I can get the time off.
I'm switching over to HTML for this journal as you suggested. If needed I will re-enter the first four entries that way. I still haven't figured out the HTML taqs , but I've done some of that on website design, so I should be able to do it. I just hate the learning curve. I have so many curves going right now it makes my head hurt.
I'm now officially the head computer geek at work. What a laugh, I won the title because no one else wanted it. So I'm learning all about real Stargates, and how to keep our antiquated system up and running. The students keep crashing it because they are not used to working with such primitive equipment. It's only saving grace is that unlike Windows it is very stable. It can take a lot of abuse.
I had the seven day cold that's going around and missed four days of work. I'm still having trouble breathing, but anti-histamines are helping. I'm finally feeling better. I'm enjoying the cold weather even though I had to haul in all the ferns twice last week.
I had a good week for story ideas, if I don't get them typed up I will forget them. So I outlined about four scenarios. Most of them won't work out, but at least I felt slightly productive just getting the ideas recorded.
Thanks to all of you for the story recommendations. Speranza has posted a really great McShep on her LJ. So check it out. I'm trying to get the rest of the gang on LJ, but considering our collective techie stupidity god knows how long it will take.

Date: 2009-03-10 11:28 am (UTC)Honestly, if I can do it, anyone can do it! I'm just about the least technically savvy person around. If The Spousal Unit didn't live here, I'd probably barely be able to turn on the pc at all. ;)
Vela3 wants to start an LJ too. I was talking to her about the Chicago Convention, and she still wants to go.
That sounds great! And at least if I can't swing it, which I'm not at all confident I can yet, you'll have someone to share a room with since S can (and probably prefers to) afford a room to herself. If that is going to be the first week of classes, then it's looking more bleak for my attendance because I have to get The Girl Child back up to school too - though that's about three weeks earlier than last August, so it seems awfully early. Is next year's schedule already set? I need to find it somewhere.
Get those story ideas down! :)
Convention Maybe?
Date: 2009-03-10 02:02 pm (UTC)21st-23rd. UF Classes start the 24th. http://creationent.com/cal/sgchi.htm
It's the worst possible weekend of the year for me. Michale Shanks just popped up as a new guest which is cool. Vela3 is S, in case you are wondering, and Owl is already asking for a new nom de plume.
If you need any UF information their website isn't bad. ISIS is one of the places where all the registration info can be had. I'm going to talk to elemgi (L) about possibly of making the convention. It has been forever since we've done a road trip together. Her finances are stressed, whose aren't (?), but she has potential medical bills looming, which makes her very tentative.
I'm actually considering a second job at least temporarily. The cash flow this summer is a terrifying prospect.
Re: Convention Maybe?
Date: 2009-03-10 02:28 pm (UTC)Okay, that makes more sense. I figured the dates were on ISIS, I just hadn't gotten around to worrying about next year's schedule yet. Got to get through this semester! ;) For some reason, though, I thought Vela3 (that makes sense too - hee!) told me the convention was the first weekend in August. That's why I was confused when you were talking about the first week of classes. That's way too soon! Obviously I'm confusing the Chicago con with something else going on the first weekend in August. Got to check my calendar.
I can't come up with clever names to denote my friends. Everyone else can, I never can - and even if I do, I don't remember the names I made up from post to post. ;) I thought you were referring to the other one sitting next to you that night at dinner - is that Owl? I thought she was considering going too, and maybe had made a decision.
Anyway, I can't imagine that being good for you at all. Isn't that weekend a big one for students buying books - at least, it's the start of the big book buy. Time-wise that could work out for me because we'll have already gotten The Girl Child up and checked into the dorm the weekend before that. Financially is another thing. I can't justify it right now.
p.s. Love the yellow!
