Weasel words

I am feeling non-/dysfunctional right now. I should go to sleep; I might feel better if I were sleeping more; I would not be worse, in any case. Would. Should. Might.

the Wit (69% dark, 26% spontaneous, 5% vulgar)

your humor style:CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK
You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you’re
probably an intellectual, but don’t take that to mean you’re
pretentious. You realize ‘dumb’ can be witty–after all isn’t that the
Simpsons’ philosophy?–but rudeness for its own sake, ‘gross-out’ humor

Upgrading, a bit

Posted: Saturday, July 30th, 2005 @ 11:08 am in the concept of 'blog' | 5 Comments »

I am in the process of upgrading and finally figuring out the stupid blog-by-email that never worked for me before. I’m at 1.5.1.3, and it seems to be working correctly with all my changes saved, so now I’m downloading WP-Cron (since I do not intend to figure out how to do a cron job yet) […]

Which Myers-Briggified Harry Potter character are you?

I need a new library. The librarians there know me — and laugh at me! Don’t you run out of books you want to read? (Yes, at least in my severely underfunded local library.) Do we have a book on hold for you this time? (Usually yes.)
Oh well. I think I’m back above 20 […]

Life goals

One more week (plus a few days) of work here, then I am flying to the US to visit friends and get trained for a week, then I am flying far away, across the Atlantic, for another week of training, then back home via the US again.
So, some questions:
