We get to bring Caligula home in 4 days! Yay! We’ve been looking at carrier cases for him, since we’ll need one to bring him home (all the way from south jersey) and for vet visits and such.
I renewed princessleia.com for a couple years this morning. The EUR USD exchange rate is even worse than when i renewed wallaceandgromit.net a few months ago. If this doesn’t improve I’ll find myself a new registrar… in 2006!
As promised, a new screenshot. This uses this background (151k) from nasa.gov.
I’m starting to get used to typing on a normal keyboard again. It’s funny how quickly I got used to that laptop, and how I hardly needed to press down on the keys. Then there is the odd location of some of the keys, I keep hitting windows instead of control, and alt instead of insert. Crazy laptop keyboards!
I was chatting with my old buddy Locdog07 yesterday, and he was talking about his comics. He draws a few webcomics, has them hosted a few places on the web. Now until then I only knew about The Tongue, but he’s got a few more that at least *I* think are much more amusing. G.F.C. and The Fairer Sex, I spent a bit of time yesterday afternoon reading through the archives and was greatly amused. Too bad he doesn’t have RSS feeds or when updated mailings for these, I’d hate to fall victim to my laziness and miss them. Oh well, there are always archives.
But speaking of webcomics, my cousin recently asked me if I would link his comic to my page. “Sure!” I said. Of course, he’s my cousin! He deserves a link right? Well I looked at his site today, and his comic sucks. Now what do I do? Bleh, I should not agree to give people links before I see their stuff, I need to have some standards, even if they are family.
While waking up I spent a bit of time talking to one of my fellow opers on Xelium. He recently bought a house and we’ve been having funny conversations lately about “house stuff.” I’m sure logs of our conversations would make for amusing reading, we’re both in our early 20’s and sitting around gushing about weed trimmers and new shower doors. It’s good to know that I’m not the only one who was (is) crazy excited about home ownership. Apparently my excitement is normal, and it’s great to be able to talk to another friend going through the same thing %)
My little Swedish broski Tech (also an ircop on Xelium) complained today about my weather script in R2D2. It’s only for the US. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this, wunderground.com does provide internation weather, but it’s just SO much easier to confine the bot to US zip codes. Lazy? Yep. So now I’ve taken another look at it, and I don’t think it’ll be too difficult to impliment. I’ll need to specify “zip code or city, country” and where ever there is a space I will need to replace it with an underscore when it reads the webpage. Yeah… this is a good project, and R2D2 is in enough channels with internation users that it’d be useful %)
We had flurries this morning, I’m glad. The warm weather last week got me all worried that our winter might be over, I’m not ready for winter to be over! I love winter. Spring makes me sneeze.
