I should be editing, but no.

I’m distracted by my first Critters critique for the hurricane story, which I expected. I always think I’m being obvious when I write. I give the story to Brian, who understands it completely and effortlessly. I sent it in for critique. *Wonk!* Now,...

Laptop switch from Ubuntu to Debian Etch.

Geek post! I’d been using Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 3624WXCi laptop for about a year now. I really enjoyed my Ubuntu experience until I fell victim to this obnoxious bug. It took a while to manifest itself, too; the problem seemed to get worse every time they...
