  • 21:31 Walked. A couple on the sidewalk ahead of me stepped aside off the walk. I stepped aside across and looked behind me. Nothing. Walked on. #
  • 21:34 Young girl with mocha skin and frizzy pigtails yells, "Have you got a life!?" I say "What?" "Have you got a wife?" Showed ring. Walked on. #

Dated (mainly because of nmaes used that people in the current time may not be aware of) humor, but still really, really funny in parts.

"Swear me in, swear me in, I've got the inauguration blues!"

  • 16:52 Testing again for sleep apnea Thursday. Normal respitatory intteruptions are 3-5 times a night. Mine were 86 so likely I'll need cpap. #
  • 16:53 Hardy Heron works great with the "new" old BMW case computer I got yesterday. Figured it out and it was cheaper to buy that than build it. #

Cainmark's Tumblr rss feed.

I'm still playing around with all these Web 2.0 sites.

The 3 (make that 4) that have made the best and most lasting differences for me so far are Netvibes, pbwiki and Twitter (Along with LoudTwitter).


Most of that is due to RSS feeds finally becoming much simpler and easier to use, so the learning curve is nowhere near as steep as it was in 2004 when I was first trying to understand them.

But I keep coming back to LJ for the best social interaction. The other sites are more useful for other things. Twitter for random thoughts or heat of the moment stuff, pbwiki for my online life conolidation, netvibes for RSS aggregation.

Input.
Consolidation.
Output.

Amazing how much of my life can be sorted so easily into those 3 overarching containers.

Here's the paradox. I want centralization for me. Just not anyone else to centralize me too much (Google's a little _too_ good at that for my taste).

I want my own portal, without being limited to using only one portal.

Server down on one, I hop to the next. Ideally.

Probably not going to happen.

/Random ramblings off.

  • 17:57 Have to go to sleep clinic June 5th. GP referred me to a sleep doctor because I get sleepy, not so much tired, when exercising hard. #
  • 18:06 Really wish I could use vlc or mplayer on our local news video streams. Windows media player bites. #
