Last FM Watercooler group.

You don’t want to know how many pictures of Secret Machines I posted there...

I WORKED.

I added a load of crap to wikipedia.

I got the UN to pass that ceasefire resolution and I was just starting on Sri Lanka when I saw this.

I was bored as hell and took long walks. Now my feet hurt. :-(

Kate posted nearly 30 pics.

Picked lint out of my navel, stared at blank wall.

dang, i was gonna say wikipedia!

i’ve been reading ‘kitchen confidential’ by anthony bourdain, cooking, and working.

HI DERE

Worked, mainly. Strangely enough I got quite a lot done over the last couple of days.

Sunday I moved my only child off to college. I really needed ILX yesterday for brain-novocaine.

Yesterday I opened myspace at like 9:15 am, and then a client came in and time-burgled a few of my hours, and I only realized about 1 pm that myspace had been open that whole time.

I’ve been wading through code for our 14+ sites fixing little problems before we upgrade to php5. When I get a chance I’ve been peeking into the ilxor developer group and trying to wade through some of this code.

I have a headache.

I emailed people off ILX.

(actually I missed the weekend meltdown because I wasn’t in a world that has computers in it, i.e. my mum and dad’s house)

I’ve been trapped in wedding hell because of my boss, the bride.

Why is “HI DERE” up top right of this thread?

I’ve been at senate house library, where the internet is pretty non-existent, so I would have missed a lot anyway.

i don’t know, mark, but i approve!

Work, mostly. There’s going to be a telling and worrisome blip of increased productivity that I hope no-one notices.

i just stared at news sites and played online games mindlessly.

i like the ‘hi dere’.

I did the wee beginner minesweeper in 2 seconds, and nearly did a lap of honour round my office.

What “hi dere”?

scroll to the top of an answer thread, it’s on the right.

The HI DERE was “me@here” ‘s work.

His/her “background: organge” doesn’t work, though. (I wonder why... :-) )

Hello everyone! When ILX went away, I started playing X3: Reunion. The baddies are called the kha’ak. I can’t tell whether the developers even noticed that this sounds like “cock”. If they have they’re managing to play it very straight. It’s full of lines like “no fighter pilot has ever survived a full scale attack from the kha’ak!” and “I’ve got a handful of kha’ak coming at me from behind” and things. It’s great!

Ah, DERE it is.

i should have thought to take civ out in the absence of ilx. unfortunately, on mondays, i am incapable of thought.

reading/sleeping more.

facebook.

and i spent a lot of time on these things called blogs.

also, librarything.com

i saw my computer screen pixelize—is that even a word/verb—and also took long walks like stanm. my feet hurt too. i also bombarded my delicious page with lots of knit-related links.

this is how i felt!

i mostly hit “refresh” in my RSS reader a lot and then got frustrated that none of my bookmarked blogs had been updated in the past 5 minutes. you could always count on ilx for that. :(

I discovered http://www.43things.com/ and spent some time reading that.

And I also discovered how much I really missed ILX and all the people there :(

Ah, 43things! Great stuff, I’m all over that these days.

Work, yes I did that. And fielded questions.

i even loaded metafilter i was so bored. what a mistake that was.

(This is where I confess that I found 43things because I was panicking at there being no ILX so I googled Ned’s name).

I am like your own private internet stalker, Mr Raggett, I hope you don’t mind :)

What, just the one? ;-)

Yes. I have slain all the others.

Ned keeps all that hair to hide the swelled head.

Rumbled. *flees*

Fleas?

No thanks, I just ate.

Scratch that then.

*rimshot*

“rimshot” always sounds ever-so-slightly rude, somehow. Perhaps I should wash my brane out with carbolic soap.

and work!

realized that this place is essential to my workday mental health, and that I missed it way more than I thought I would. like one of those junky rats hitting the button to gets its fix, I kept hitting “refresh”.

Played KoL for the first time in forever, it is refreshingly laden with new hilariousness.

Amazingly, having got my head down and worked considerably more than usual, I’m somehow in a worse place work-wise than I was a week ago.

I also went to Dorset. That was nice.

SLSK

WORK

cleaned out the inbox

i worked, then went away for the weekend. before i went, i got a message from stet saying he’d set up a sandbox on this space. when i came back, it was full of ILX0rs. utterly bizarre, in a rather joyous way.

i saw a shooting star

been cleaning the apartment, packing, and buying new clothes! getting ready to do laundry. I R DOMESTIC GODDESS.
