I'm just about done in for the week. It's been a full one and tiring and slightly productive. Remember my news rant? Well, later that day, Netscape decided to lose almost all of my carefully collected bookmarks, including the news sites (not CTV, BTW).
Yep, all that's left is everything up to and including the first 4 bookmark folders. BLEH. It's apparently a KNOWN problem (not that I have the energy to find it again, but there's one that has had all of the bookmarks problems consolidated into one report) that has been around for at least a year. Even though the obvious work-around (to me, anyway) would be a simple n+(say 2 or 3) backup file written when a user changes the bookmarks in any way that would take, oh, 20 minutes to write and test --- ??
0) { ?>I'm tired because the antibiotics I am on (second round) are wearing my system down and because my upstairs neighbours' dog becomes more and more insane as the days pass. (Nothing shorter than knee-high should be properly called a dog, anyway)
Despite all of these internal and external hurdles, I have made a modicum of progress with respect to the assemblage of documentation and evidence to file with officialdom regarding the lack of maintenance and other problems here in my slum.
Today is Day 13 of the Pay No Rent Event (because paying for what you're not getting just gives the wrong message).
Coincidentally, it was March 2003 that I staged my first Pay No Rent Event. I have been to the Rental Tribunal twice since then. Both times summoned by my landlord trying to evict me. It's a long story which will be in the Demons section of the site soonishly.
Today I have been doing ridiculously silly things with the recordings (evidence, people) from my Sony MD. Despite the USB link, I am not able to upload data that I have recorded with a mic. Why? Well, because I didn't download it from some blah blah database and it knows that. So, I am re-recording the stuff in real-time through my audio card. DUH indeed. (I'm hoping someone figures out a hack for this problem soon.)
Gotta run - L&O is on.
