hobgoblinnJust random stuff for a Friday evening. I had my hair re-cut tonight-- I Really didn't like the bob. So now it's-- er-- shorter. I'll let it grow in the back and keep it layered on the top and sides a while. Though it will take a while for it to grow out again.
Wee Hob's in the doghouse again. Little matter of Homework. And he's acting like I am being unreasonable for being upset. I finally sent him to his room until he could be rational and tell me WTF is going on here. We'll have plenty of time to discuss it tomorrow morning in the car on the way out to Independence for the Boy Scout Dinner. He's sulking that I made him come in from the woods when I got home, but he will have to Get Over It.
Scrivener continues to be the Coolest Program Ever. I think what I like most is how you can start using it right away pretty intuitively, then say-- gee-- wish I could do This-- and look up in the help menu or tutorial how to do that one thing. I went through the tutorial, but the type is a little too small, and will be until next week when I get my new glasses, so I kinda-- skimmed. I really like how easy it is to get text into it from other sources-- I cut and pasted the versions on ff net in as reference and to keep the whole story together. I'm going to dump the "Lost Boys" sequel in there this weekend, and some original stuff. Will probably break down tonight and just buy the damn license, too. I really need to look into getting a Mac that is really and truly Mine, not belonging to my employer, even if they are pretty clear they don't want to buy anymore Macs for new people (if we ever get any) and would love to phase these out. I might offer to purchase this one outright. Used about a year-- what would the going rate on that be for a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.4.11?
And "Lost Boys" is rapidly approaching 10,000 hits ("In Loco" blew past that some time ago.) I like being able to see that people are actually reading my stuff, even if they don't all leave reviews.
What's going on in your world?
